    Could be but we would need to see way more data to come to that conclusion

    What we can tell is that the top 10 hottest years since 1880 have been the last 10. And 2023 was quite hot even by comparison to the others in the list.

    Accelerating or not we do need to slow our emissions down a fuck ton or we’re going to destroy ourselves

      To put into context how hard we need to put on the brakes: greenhouse gas emissions are at an all time high and increasing year over year.

      So not only aren’t we decreasing the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and thus fixing our problems, we aren’t even decreasing the rate at which we’re making the problem worse. We’re just piling on more problems at record pace.

      Humanity is heading for the scene of the accident and instead of stopping, or even braking, we’re pushing the accelerator down more.
