Not as hot as earth if we trigger a runaway greenhouse effect!

Interesting that it could be read not only as a climate change joke, but also a disinformation joke, given what she's reading from.

People seem to not realize that the government wasn't the one burning books in Fahrenheit 451...

Edit: Been awhile for me - but this does not seem to be true.

You know it's been a while since I've read that book, but I'm pretty positive that isn't true.

Ah, it's been a long time for me as well and I think I may have picked that idea up somewhere and must have found it attractive enough to supplant the obvious part..

Guess it's time to re-read!
