Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory

All of them - ocean temp, ocean salinity, ocean's ability to absorb CO2, air temp... and # of species disappearing, especially insect.

I mean, I understand the sentiment, but science doesn’t go around shouting EVERYTHING IS FUCKED without empirical evidence. Here’s Steffen et al., 2015:
And yet people are: "this_is_fine.jpg"
Awhile back I saw, or created a memory of a short, high energy video of … a cartoon character(?) singing “We’re fucked! We’re fucked! We’re super fucking fucked!” In a high pitched voice over a bombastic orchestra. There was more to the song, but that’s all I clearly remember. (Or all that I’ve crafted in the form of my false memory of it.)
I tried to search it out, but, you know, search engines. They just want me to go to YouTube or song lyrics sites that aren’t what I’m looking for because bad algorithms drive engagement.
Anyway, that’s basically my soundtrack whenever I read climate or political news these days. (And the way capitalism has destroyed the internet, now that I think about it!)
Tell me about it.
