Global ocean surface temperatures have stayed at record highs every day for just over a year, affecting weather on land and devastating marine ecosystems.
* The spike in global temperatures seen during 2023, which has continued into 2024, has been unexpected in its magnitude, persistence and geographic extent. Scientists don’t have complete explanations for it but El Niño helped.
Climate change deniers don’t care. What a sad reality.
Sounds about right
But think about the billionaires! Think about shareholders! Think about continuous growth! There is no alternative!
”It’s easier to see the end of the world than the end of capitalism”
My best friend laughed at me when I said one of the reasons I’m hesitant to have kids is I don’t want to bring young people into a world that may be mostly destroyed in the next 2 decades. By the time they’re an adult they might literally be fighting for food and water…
I hope I’m wrong, but it just doesn’t seem fair bringing people into a world that we’re watching deteriorate in front of us.
