      according to data from the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, a tool that uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world’s condition.

      You can read up on that study and on the climate reanalyzer.

      People who don’t even click on the article or do any research before dismissing something cannot be taken seriously.

        Just reading such a headline and about some calculated average global temperature record is enough for me to categorize it as fearmongering. Same as with covid infection statistics in the last three years. Now with climate. Screw that. On this issue I am perfectly happy with my heuristics.

    I used to worry about this a lot, I still do but I used to too.

    Joking aside, it’s a shit show that us plebians can’t really do anything about but I still try. I’ve driven a hybrid for the last 6 years, I have a smart thermostat to try to save energy, I try to eat less meat more often. I recycle a lot more than most. I even make my own bread and nut milks and many other things which is not only cheaper and healthier (and WAY more delicious) but requires less transport related greenhouse gas emissions than buying premade breads and nut milks. Nut milk is especially better than dairy milk in that matter.

    Oh yeah! And yesterday I picked up 10 large trash bags of litter: yesterday picked up 10 large kitchen trash bags

    I was planning on dying one day anyway. Whether it’s from cancer or needing to eat my own neighbor for survival, it’s all the same at this point.

      Deep down, it’s wild to know that humanity’s peak was ultimately undone by less than 1% of the population convincing everyone else that greed is good.

    How is this not a bigger story? What the fuck?? This is cataclysmic. It should be all we’re fucking hearing about. Fuck.
