Anybody paying attention??! We left our climate models and are in uncharted territory. Better quickly work on sun shields or carbon capture technology bc we aren’t getting rid of fossil fuels anytime soon and the die has been cast already anyway

Our political leaders are so disconnected from what we, the people actually want that I simply see no hope here….right now there is a huge digger creating a foundation outside my apartment while our region is facing a huge water shortage and we are supposed to be rationing water….where is this new apartment water going to come from? No one knows all they want is the money

My town reach its all time record of 118 last last year. Last time it got this hot was 1940’s. But now it’s just the norm and not something that happens in 1 out of 80 summers… good thing I live in PNW surrounded by anti flammable trees /s

I feel so crazy being concerned about this. When I suggest being more conscious about how much we consume I’m constantly told “well we aren’t the ones contributing to the majority of the waste it’s companies” which is completely true BUT we are the ones consuming their products. We have to consume less drastically. But apparently I’m not letting people live.

Just keep looking the other way. Republicans solution is turn the temperature lower on your ac unit.

I live in the Harz region in Germany where it’s usually around 22-25°c in the summer and it’s so fucking unbearable hot this year it’s insane . We currently have our 6th heatwave this year and it’s the 5th day in a row with 30°c . Yesterday I ordered an hella expensive AC unit because my elderly mother collapsed from the ongoing heat , yesterday we still had 25°c after midnight .

Yesterday was the warmest september day in Sweden since 1975. A temperature of 29,4° was measured in Eskilstuna.

I’m so desensitized to this shit at this point. Do what you can to clean up. Vote in people you trust to move us towards a greener future. However, I truly believe it’ll take a miracle worker to get us out of this mess.

It’s literally one of the coldest summers I can remember where I live. We had like two or three days above 30°.

Misleading title. Thr planet was much hotter than today for the vast majority of its prehistoric existence.
That being said now its the hottest during the ‘historic times’.

We have to cut the population by half
Or even worse, as the Georgia Guidestones once pointed out
“Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
8 billion will still emit shitload of greenhouse gases no matter if we will use paper straws and electric vehicles or not…

It’s going to happen again next year.
Same was last year! 🤷🏻♂️
When the meat falls off the bone, I’m done.
Better pay your taxes or it will keep getting hotter!!
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/05/climate/hottest-summer-record-copernicus/index.html) reduced by 88%. (I’m a bot)
