Slight inaccuracy, the data only goes back to 1979 and has not yet been verified by NOAA which has data going back to 1880.

It’s also worth noting that this is based on the Climate Reanalyzer which is intended for forecasting temperatures, not record keeping.

It would be more accurate to say it was the hottest day ever recorded by the Climate Reanalyzer.

Welcome to the coldest summer for the rest of your life :)

I think, as individuals; we all need to pick up our game and do our part in polluting and destroying the planet more. We can't let the corporations do all the heavy lifting after all.

Edit: I don't think I came across properly here, given the replies. This was sarcasm saying we need to fuck up the planet more to keep pace with the rate the corporations do.

Don't just single out meat. All of industrialized agriculture is massively carbon and energy intensive and built on gradual topsoil depletion.

The company I work for makes power infrastructure for data centres and the like, 3 phase 400v conductors, the smallest we make is 1000 amp rated and we go up to 6000 amp rated, that is a hell of a lot of power and we run 24 hours a day 7 days a week pumping out miles of these to power the data centres that run the internet so we can be shitty to each other

Curious: how do they know that? Recorded history is like 5k years right?

And just a week ago I was talking to these boomers that were explaining me how "we should all stop being so attached to climate fear" and that "everything will just sort itself out and we'll live just fine".

Yea, no shit boomer

Thanks humanity, I'm sure that this will cause no long term issues and we can just keep using the same economic and political systems while not worrying about it at all.

Shipping? Shipping is about 2 % of global CO2 emissions.

Large ships emit a lot of sulphur oxides (SOx). E.g. cruise ships emit more than all cars of Europe. SOx is not a greenhouse gas, but it’s a nasty pollutant nonetheless.

Chat, is that true?!

OK, now point me to the place I can give money for the food that doesn't pollute/throw it all away.

Surprised by the casual climate change deniers in here. “Oh, but the data….”

Don't worry all of this will soon be over.

Wait, is this true?

Shout out to all of us who buy anything shipped, any petroleum or oil-based products and those of us who aren’t vegan

bullshit, we should be ensure that the countries where a lot of childeren are being bourne, are being economicly lifted... you cannot tell people to have less childeren, if their future depends on it.
