        “This is the hottest year ever!”

        “No, no. This is the hottest year so far.”

      It didn’t really get started with the smashing records thing until a few decades ago

        Looks like it started around the 70s. That plenty of “five year buckets” in 5.5 decades.

          I can say from a human perspective in my area the big difference was the 90’s. Mainly that winters that were normal in the 80’s were considered severe in the new millenia. Its kinda funny because we just had that. People were like wow this winter is brutal and its like. This use to be what you would expect. Thing is now people expect it to be mild.

          Either way, better stock up on stuff to protect yourself from the Sun/Heat. I am talking UV portection hoodies, Sunskin, and portable cooling solutions for both your home and to go. And make shure your Grandparents and parents do the same, older people are much more vulnerebal to the heat.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
