Every month is a record setter so far

In ten years, we'll all be looking back at how great it was in 2024

The Key Word is every month was a record setter. May the gods have mercy on us. We're so fucked

make sure to drive a lot and eat animal products and fly places so we can keep the streak going! 💪😎🔥

Worked for dad, and grandpa, and his grandpa!

The coming generations will be saying the same thing.

We're only kind of fucked; our kids are proper fucked; their kids are fucked fucked.

I don't think I agree. Where I stay, we just had a whole month of 47C when ten years ago it used to be around 37C. I'm not saying it will follow the same linear scale but I am saying that there's only so long humans can survive at these temperatures. For the bulk of the population, surviving at these temperatures means spending electricity which means burning more coal which means accelerating warming.

I don't see how I myself am going to survive for ten, fifteen years when my country can no longer grow wheat or vegetables, leave alone future kids of mine.

Gather up as much plastic garbage as you can and burn it all in your backyard ... get your neighbour to join in and have a neighbourhood bonfire ... plastic only! ... tires work great too because they last longer and burn stronger.

That's pretty much the ballgame, folks. Try to move somewhere where it's always cold and in a decade or two you may still be alive.

Has anyone tried voting against Climate Change? /s

Vote as hard as you can. Smash that motherfucking voting card like a bad bitch and everything will be fine.

If it’s not fine you didn’t vote hard enough. Simple as. Surely democracy is not broken and the polluting corporations don’t win every election because the system is rigged for the rich to get richer.

Just one more election bro this time it will work bro just need another election bro one more

Don't try any of that anti-voting shit. Yes yes, we need to do a lot more than that, but voting is also fucking important. Voting is the bare minimum of effort.

One day, you’ll realize it’s not the shoes preventing you from jumping higher.

🎶 The world, the world, the world is on fire. 🎶

We don’t need no water…

Let the mother fucker burn 🔥🔥🔥

problem here is the motherfucker in this case is us

if we don't burn the real motherfuckers in time.

🤞I hope it's a good record🤞I hope it's a good record-- aw.

Well, what do you expect if an unintentional Geo Engineering experiment get's shut down one day to the other. The Oceans are running a fever because of that...temps have jumped 2-3°C in just 3 years. More heat, more humidity, more dark clouds, even more energy - more temperature, less Co2 Absorption... But it would be great, if we could stop all that doom and gloom stuff. There's still quite a lot of positive stuff happening.

Edit: To clarify, I'm talking about the IMO (International Maritime Organization) lowering the sulfur in crude oil for ships from 3% allowed to 0,5% in 2020 and the resulting "darker" clouds, due to sulfur "binding" water molecules. This in term lead to about 80% more energy from the sun that got "transferred" in to the atmosphere and the oceans, instead of being reflected with "white" clouds.
