2024 was the hottest year on record globally, at 1.6°C above the pre-industrial average. 2023 is now second warmest.
Roughly 2/3 of the total warming happened since the 1980s.
Often we don't get to see this news anymore. Sometimes we ignore it. But it's happening every week, in Europe.
The EU needs to stop exports of components for weapons 'to Central-Asia', which end up in Russia and its arms industry, and then on Ukrainian citizens.
If climate scientists say the current global warming spike is within what they expected, while for many people this is not the case, then many people hadn't grasped what to expect.
Thanks to climate denial campaigns, governments afraid or unwilling to communicate the urgency, Murdoch media, and - probably - the fact that many people preferred not to hear the disruptive predictions.

In The Netherlands, we just experienced our 7th warmest summer on record (123 years). It was 0.9⁰C warmer than the already warmed 1991-2020 average.
A crucial sentence from the last IPCC report that didn't make it into the Summary for Policy Makers (the one thing that all countries have to agree on), as noted by nostr:npub1wputrsd3tpvh9pzu2n4wgs9rtefwn93pfmkkwwf6t5kygus4y4es46rvyc:
"About 80% of coal, 50% of gas, and 30% of oil reserves cannot be burned and emitted if warming is limited to 2°C. Significantly more reserves are expected to remain unburned if warming is limited to 1.5°C. (high confidence)"
