    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.

      This. It’s also not accurate to say it’s the warmest we’ve been in the past 10,000 years, it was likely warmer during the roman warm period, and potentially a couple of other points. So we can only really say it’s the warmest we’ve seen in the last couple hundred years.

      That’s not to say this isn’t concerning, we’re on track to smash the roman warm periods average temperatures within our lifetimes and make the earth the hottest it’s been since the paleoscene, which would have massive ramifications. But we’re not there yet, the problem is that we will likely get there in the next few decades.

    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.

    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

      They meant that they’ll live just fine. You see, they will be dead before climate change decimates our planet. 🤷‍♂️
