This month is the planet's hottest on record so far.

This feels like people opining about mass shootings.

Yes it's a problem. No one cares enough to vote differently in order to change it, so there's nothing we can do but fend for ourselves.

Plenty people care enough to vote. Plenty of people also work very hard (and have been doing so for long before you or I were around) to disenfranchise and prevent the votes of those exact people.

Plenty people care enough to vote.

Yeah, problem is they're voting for people actively making the crisis worse or, through inaction, doing nothing meaningful to stop it.

This assumes voting changes anything.

If it didn’t, Republicans wouldn’t try so hard to take it away.

They do that so they could get more votes for themselves. That's about the amount of change you do get: coke or pepsi.

I feel I've seen this title-comment combination before.

I mean yeah, we can’t measure future temperatures.

We know it will get hotter, but still.
