As we suffer over the next three years, it would pay to remember that this is the warmup round. It’s not over when the nex La Nina offers a brief reprieve.
Perhaps it’s time to prioritise survival over the profits of the shareholders?
Completely agree, but let’s wait another year just to be sure /s
So at what record temperatures do we start giving outdoor workers hazard pay?
Texas is already taking away their water breaks. So probably no time soon.
We wouldn’t want to to needlessly take power away from slave ma… Employers!

I have to head out to Houston next week for work and I am not looking forward to how hot it is down there. I can’t even handle the heat up in here in the northeast.
Yeah but its been so disgustingly humid up here. At least in Houston it will feel like youre being baked to death and not smothered with a hot wet blanket…to death.
I’ve got bad news for you if you think Houston isn’t humid.
It’s been 100+ with daily thunderstorms for the past two weeks in Houston 🥲😢
I’m confused, the article says
average global temperature reached 17.18 degrees Celsius, or 62.92 degrees Fahrenheit
I must not be understanding something cause to me that’s not very hot.
Here’s the best graphic I’ve seen for putting the numbers in context: https://xkcd.com/1732/
It’s slightly out of date so we’re actually at roughly +2 degrees C.
Basically, from year 0 CE to 1000 CE there was basically no change in average temperature. Then from 1000 CE to 1900 CE temperature actually went down about .5 degrees. Since then, we’ve gone up 2.5 degrees. So the past two thousand years temperature changed a total of .5 degrees down. We’ve increased about 5 times that in the past 100 years.
Average for the entire planet, including the arctic
Not very hot for a chill autumn day. Very hot for the Arctic circle. That’s how averages work.
Thanks for that regulation that killed sulfur emissions from ships and made our problems worse guys.
Made our problems visible now.
They were already this bad, SO2 just masks them for a couple of years.
Made our problems worse by creating a massive spike in temperature that should have been slowly eased at worst, and risks catastrophic results as that spike takes it’s toll.
Which is far fewer people that will suffer and die than if we hadn’t had a wakeup call of the damage that was already done finally effecting the global north instead of just the developing world.
And how does that stand compaired to calculated temperatures from arctic and antarctic ice probes. I dont now the numbers there. Is it higher or lower? Does anyone now a source where you can read those calculations?
They don’t have daily resolution. The daily records only go back a century or so.
But we’re well into hottest temperatures homo sapiens have ever seen and flirting with the hottest homo has ever seen for long term trends.
Sad. that would have really interested me.
