Scientists have compared this year's climate-change fallout to "a disaster movie" - soaring temperatures, fierce wildfires, powerful storms and devastating floods - and new data is now revealing just how exceptional the global heat has been.
In the late 90’s my girlfriend worked in the office for an ice core climatologist, and her job was partly to screen out the crazies on the phone. Sometimes one would get through and she’d feel really bad.
Letting a crazy through is usually a result of them acting normal with the receptionist, then going crazy once they get on the line with someone else. The end call button doesn’t prevent that.
Can’t they press the red button? This is literally the cyberbullying thing again, literally close your screen, walk away from the computer, press the red button, wtf
Yes, once the crazy person starts spouting their crazy the scientist they’ve connected to can hang up. but it’s still embarrassing for a receptionist to accidentally let one get through.

Feel bad about???
Letting a crazy through
Through what exactly? Phone?
Yes. I’m confused at how this is confusing?
Generally a receptionist/secretary spends a significant part of their day screening calls.
But who was phone??
/s
Does she know what the red button on the phone does?

I’m not sure why you’re so confused about this.
Yeah, if people stalk you around the internet and bully you, just don’t use the internet, duh!
Oh good, well, at least you’ve outed yourself?
