The remarkable concurrence of three dramatic climate events:
- Antarctic sea ice extent now over 2 million kilometers below the 1991-2020 mean
- global 2-meter surface temperatures breached the 1.5°C barrier for the third consecutive day
- WTF is happening to the world’s oceans, and in particular the North Atlantic? Ocean temperatures have been setting unprecedented daily records, spiking to highs that are shocking climate scientists, as they look for possible reasons.
The last humans will look back at us as insane people for seeing this coming for so long and doing very little. I’m guessing they are only a couple of generations away.
