    As we suffer over the next three years, it would pay to remember that this is the warmup round. It’s not over when the nex La Nina offers a brief reprieve.

    Perhaps it’s time to prioritise survival over the profits of the shareholders?

    I have to head out to Houston next week for work and I am not looking forward to how hot it is down there. I can’t even handle the heat up in here in the northeast.

      Yeah but its been so disgustingly humid up here. At least in Houston it will feel like youre being baked to death and not smothered with a hot wet blanket…to death.

    And how does that stand compaired to calculated temperatures from arctic and antarctic ice probes. I dont now the numbers there. Is it higher or lower? Does anyone now a source where you can read those calculations?

      They don’t have daily resolution. The daily records only go back a century or so.

      But we’re well into hottest temperatures homo sapiens have ever seen and flirting with the hottest homo has ever seen for long term trends.
