Global heat in ‘uncharted territory’: 2023 could be the hottest year on record

We know and have known the earth is warming. Since there is some natural variability, we don’t set a new record <i>every year</i>. But if there wasn’t, we would. And so it shouldn’t be a surprise to us when we do.

After talking about it for thirty, forty years and not doing much more than feeling good about sorting our recycling, we&#x27;re here at the tipping point.<p>We need to not be talking about &quot;climate change&quot; anymore.<p>We are here at &quot;climate collapse&quot;.

Not trying to deny anything but with the length of records and a random distribution you’d still expect “hottest year” to happen pretty often. (Somebody please do the statistics)<p>With a very slightly warming planet it would indeed happen quite often.<p>In other words… setting records means something, but less than one would expect by default.<p>The more valid statistic is something like <i>n</i> of the last 30 years have been the warmest on record, or something along those lines.

Rather than AC, which just deepens the problem by increasing our energy burn rate, we need more passive solar design. Plus more mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods.<p>Also: Reduce upholstered furniture, books and similar, take trash out more regularly, remove all cardboard from groceries as soon as you get them home.

I will do exactly as you say, and delete my account nd never come to this nasty site. Your wish is my command. But in all seriousness this site is very awful and mostly filled with like minded close minded intellectuals that are pushing the mainstream narrative and cannot stand any real diversity of opinion. So rhe joke is on you, funny guy. You should go join a circus.

More news at 11.<p>Also get ready to start installing air conditioning in your home.

Or maybe not? [1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;temperature.global&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;temperature.global&#x2F;</a>

Anyone who believes cnn at this point I feel sorry for. They’ve discredited themselves numerous times. They and media more generally are known for selling fear and pushing certain narratives because fear sells. And operation mockingbird was never really concluded. Psy ops are now more ubiquitous than ever.<p>And it’s less hot now than the last few years where I live. And I don’t live in a big city. Big cities are hot as hell, and should be abandoned or completely redesigned because they are unlivable hell holes.
