Shout out to the oil, meat, and shipping industries

Slight inaccuracy, the data only goes back to 1979 and has not yet been verified by NOAA which has data going back to 1880.

It’s also worth noting that this is based on the Climate Reanalyzer which is intended for forecasting temperatures, not record keeping.

It would be more accurate to say it was the hottest day ever recorded by the Climate Reanalyzer.

Welcome to the coldest summer for the rest of your life :)

And just a week ago I was talking to these boomers that were explaining me how "we should all stop being so attached to climate fear" and that "everything will just sort itself out and we'll live just fine".

Yea, no shit boomer

So far.

Vermont just had flooding that was on par with Hurricane Irene.

They're calling it a 1000 year rarity. It happened 12 years ago. Only this time there was no hurricane.

There are ocean temperatures in the fucking 90s.

This hurricane season is gonna be batshit crazy, y'all.

I think, as individuals; we all need to pick up our game and do our part in polluting and destroying the planet more. We can't let the corporations do all the heavy lifting after all.

Edit: I don't think I came across properly here, given the replies. This was sarcasm saying we need to fuck up the planet more to keep pace with the rate the corporations do.

Thanks humanity, I'm sure that this will cause no long term issues and we can just keep using the same economic and political systems while not worrying about it at all.

Shipping? Shipping is about 2 % of global CO₂ emissions.

Large ships emit a lot of sulphur oxides (SO_x). E.g. cruise ships emit more than all cars of Europe. SO_x is not a greenhouse gas, but it’s a nasty pollutant nonetheless.

The oil, meat and shipping industries: "It's called a streak, baby"

We can break this record, do like me, burn tires !

Wait, is this true?

If only we had deflation people would not overconsume so much

Don't forget steel. quick stats

I read this as olive oil and meat. LOL. Yum, steak!

Let's do a klimatekatastrophe any% speedrun

I'm waiting for the hot part of the year to start where I live, and I live in a tropical country! It will be so funny! 🫠

Don't just single out meat. All of industrialized agriculture is massively carbon and energy intensive and built on gradual topsoil depletion.

Ouch, too soon op, too soon...

Curious: how do they know that? Recorded history is like 5k years right?

So you're saying it's a cycle /s

Here we stand at this fork in the road, We got no time to waste, Oh which way shall we go? This whole world’s spinning out of control, Oh which way shall we go, Which way shall we go? I can’t believe this, It makes me sick. “Drones In The Valley” - Cage the Elephant

Meanwhile in Moscow the coldest 12 of July in 75 years is happening...

Don't worry all of this will soon be over.

Gotta love them for giving us nice warm weather

The company I work for makes power infrastructure for data centres and the like, 3 phase 400v conductors, the smallest we make is 1000 amp rated and we go up to 6000 amp rated, that is a hell of a lot of power and we run 24 hours a day 7 days a week pumping out miles of these to power the data centres that run the internet so we can be shitty to each other

One of the three is not like the other, in the way that it can never be eliminated. Let's play guess...

Chat, is that true?!

I think you're right to point out that there aren't many options for individuals to make a significant change. But that doesn't mean our hands are tied, some people in government would be perfectly happy to give slightly better outcomes to shareholders over the short term than literally have a habitable planet in 50 years. Others actually want to work towards sustainable solutions.

Surprised by the casual climate change deniers in here. “Oh, but the data….”

bullshit, we should be ensure that the countries where a lot of childeren are being bourne, are being economicly lifted... you cannot tell people to have less childeren, if their future depends on it.

OK, now point me to the place I can give money for the food that doesn't pollute/throw it all away.

No need to single out meat production. There is so much farming going on that annihilates places like the Amazon. I have seen claims of those crazy huge shipping vessels that pollute more than all cars combined over the course of a year.

Shout out to all of us who buy anything shipped, any petroleum or oil-based products and those of us who aren’t vegan
