Hasn't almost every month been the warmest recorded in the past year?
Don't try to downplay this achievement. Companies all over the globe have worked very hard for it.
So are we just going to keep posting this every month until society collapses and most of us die within 10-20 years?
We're going to defund NOAA so it can't be posted and won't be real!
NOAA will be dismantled first (or they will be forced to massage these numbers somehow)

If covid and Trump have taught me anything it's that the majority of people aren't willing to do a damned thing until they themselves are hurt in some way. Based on this and my experience with peoples' unwillingness to admit they're wrong, I'd say we'll keep going until the majority of people tap-out from the heat.
In other words, we're just screwed.
Honestly, at this point, this sounds like the optimistic outlook.
The important question is what you (yes, you, the person reading this) are going to do.
The "this is fine" meme is all too accurate for posts like this.
As long as their line goes up, they don't give a fuck about the environment.
They can buy a new environment for themselves, their friends, and their loved ones. So it’s all good. If we didn’t want to die drowning in our homes, we shouldn’t have all bought cars and drank from plastic straws. Nobody forced us to do those things.
Hey ya know... Line must go up. 🤷🏼♂️

Climate change can’t be real cause it’s cold where I live right now >:(
Seriously hate saying it, but might not be a bad idea to move away from coastal and arid areas if you’ll still be alive in 30 years. There are tons of projection maps out there that show what your area will look like in a couple of decades if we don’t make serious changes. Still have hope that things will be better by then, but better safe than sorry.
Is that showing no negative anomaly years since about 1990?
