Every month is a record setter so far

In ten years, we'll all be looking back at how great it was in 2024

The Key Word is every month was a record setter. May the gods have mercy on us. We're so fucked

make sure to drive a lot and eat animal products and fly places so we can keep the streak going! 💪😎🔥

Gather up as much plastic garbage as you can and burn it all in your backyard ... get your neighbour to join in and have a neighbourhood bonfire ... plastic only! ... tires work great too because they last longer and burn stronger.

That's pretty much the ballgame, folks. Try to move somewhere where it's always cold and in a decade or two you may still be alive.

Has anyone tried voting against Climate Change? /s

Vote as hard as you can. Smash that motherfucking voting card like a bad bitch and everything will be fine.
If it’s not fine you didn’t vote hard enough. Simple as. Surely democracy is not broken and the polluting corporations don’t win every election because the system is rigged for the rich to get richer.

Just one more election bro this time it will work bro just need another election bro one more

Don't try any of that anti-voting shit. Yes yes, we need to do a lot more than that, but voting is also fucking important. Voting is the bare minimum of effort.

One day, you’ll realize it’s not the shoes preventing you from jumping higher.

"This is not fine."

Well, what do you expect if an unintentional Geo Engineering experiment get's shut down one day to the other. The Oceans are running a fever because of that...temps have jumped 2-3°C in just 3 years. More heat, more humidity, more dark clouds, even more energy - more temperature, less Co2 Absorption... But it would be great, if we could stop all that doom and gloom stuff. There's still quite a lot of positive stuff happening.
Edit: To clarify, I'm talking about the IMO (International Maritime Organization) lowering the sulfur in crude oil for ships from 3% allowed to 0,5% in 2020 and the resulting "darker" clouds, due to sulfur "binding" water molecules. This in term lead to about 80% more energy from the sun that got "transferred" in to the atmosphere and the oceans, instead of being reflected with "white" clouds.

Get used to it.

So much for the 1.5° goal...
I'm sure most world governments are ignoring scientists saying "there is still a chance if we do these things" because those things would damage global conglomerate profits. We're fucked. Unless a lot of us suddenly become ecoterrorists targeting the biggest polluters.
Small changes never were a viable solution, but for a while they could be sold as one. Especially the ones where the consumer became the problem and one to take action (recycling et al.) Only a complete restructuring of society would do much of anything, and now it's even too late for that because of both the time and the population. Yeah, it's pessimistic and doomerism, but it's also reality.
"We all know what to do, but we don’t know how to get re-elected once we have done it." -- Jean-Claude Juncker
You've got this odd situation where people don't actually realise how bad this is, because if it was really bad then the governments would actually do something about it, but the governments know that if they do what is needed, a lot of people will be substantially poorer, and then they'll get voted out and replaced with somebody who brings back all the petrol cars and the toxic shit being dumped into rivers.
We're completely and utterly fucked.
