World hits 12 straight months of record-high temperatures — but as warming continues, it'll be "remembered as comparatively cold"
World hits 12 straight months of record-high temperatures — but as warming continues, it'll be "remembered as comparatively cold"
"Our planet is trying to tell us something. But we don't seem to be listening," the U.N.'s secretary-general said after May marked another month of back-to-back global heat records.

Fuck this is depressing
It really is. It’s already bordering on intolerable. By 2050, I assume only the wealthy will have the luxury of not dying from a heat stroke.
it wasn't until all the workers where dead that they realized labour is the source of all capital but by then it was too late.
Buy more cars, iphones, fast fashion, actually... just keep consuming people. Nothing to see here.
Most Americans
I wouldn't put that on Americans alone.
I think you mean most of the world.
Don’t even need the thumbnail to know what this meme is.
Ah I see you have good taste in meme’s. 👍
I don't know how we can be saved or save ourselves...
It's easier said than done: make the untouchables pay.
Grim reality is the untouchables will continue to rule with absolute greed while climate change drives us into pockets of extremism where we kill each other.
People need to learn who is harming them. It's not the immigrants. It's not minorities or the Jews or women or atheists or Muslims or the woke. But it requires reading and education which they've been making harder and harder to do or get the time and energy to do.
Genuine question.
What can I, an average Joe, do about global warming?
I compost, grow a lot of my own food, recycle, avoid plastic as much as possible, built a little solar system along my fence that powers probably 20% of the house.
I feel like I do a lot more than the average person and still know it's not enough. Even if every consumer did their part would it be enough to counteract the pollution from the conglomerates? It doesn't feel like it.
Same as with anything that needs a collection of people to make a change. You just do it so that more people start to do it and at some point that number of people is large enough that it makes a dent. Or more likely, large enough that companies realise potential for profit and invest more into it, making a positive feedback loop.
