This month is the planet's hottest on record by far – and hottest in around 120,000 years, scientists say | CNN

The narrative that the average joe is to blame for this shit is so infuriating to me. Myself and 50,000 other people could start walking everywhere and it very likely wouldn’t come close to offsetting the emissions of Amazon’s fleet of trucks.

Yes individual consumption matters, but there’s a very small group of individuals called billionaires that contribute 1000x more than you or I ever could. BP invented the idea of the individual carbon footprint.

I’m sure this will spur society to prioritise the future viability of our species survival and the state of the environment over short term quarterly profits right? … right?

This month is the planet's hottest on record so far.

See you next year guys for a new record!

I, too, agree with the scientists that we're all well and truly fucked.

How do they estimate temps so long ago? What data do they use?

120k years ago was about the end of the Eemian interglacial period, which was a significantly warm period.

I wonder what next year will be like

There is currently war in Europe, how bad is itfor climate change?

I can feel it

the best things as an individual you can do to fight climate change:

1. walk everywhere or catch public transport. Don't drive.

2. Go vegan

3. Don't have kids
