UN Secretary General issues urgent worldwide call after alarming milestone: 'We must exit this road to ruin'
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has made it official: 2024 was the warmest year on the planet for both the United States and globally. According to NOAA, the global surface temperature was 2.32 degrees above the 20th-century average, topping 2023, the next-warmest year, by 0.18 degrees. This means the 10 warmest years on record have all happened in the past decade.

Catastrophic tipping point in Greenland reached as crystal blue lakes turn brown, belch out carbon dioxide
Thousands of Greenland's crystal-clear blue lakes have turned a murky brown thanks to global warming — and the worst part is that they've started emitting carbon dioxide.
Record heat and rain in 2022 pushed the lakes of West Greenland past a tipping point, so rather than absorbing carbon dioxide (CO₂), they began to emit it into the atmosphere, according to a new study.
The lakes normally absorb CO₂ in the summer, but by the following year they had flipped to become carbon dioxide producers. These types of widespread changes would normally take centuries. Researchers have observed the browning of lakes across the Northern Hemisphere, including the U.S., but it typically takes multiple decades — much longer than the transformation of Greenland's lakes.
"The magnitude of this and the rate of change were unprecedented," study lead author Jasmine Saros, a professor of paleolimnology and lake ecology at the University of Maine, said in the statement.

This is absolutely totally in accord with what scientists have been trying to warn the world for the past 40 or so years about what would happen when the northern extremes warmed.
We are such a fukking stupid race to have ignored them and done little more than just laugh at them. (You only need to take a look back at what so many ignorant twits have posted in this thread!)
Unless drastic action is taken urgently, within a hundred years there's likely to be next to no sustainable life remaining on this planet.

Nature will self correct. Stop the BS if U R so concerned about co2 STOP EXHALING & it'll get betterComment -
Put up a windmill in your back yard, get an electric car and turn off that gas stove. It's called climate change, not global warming any longer.

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT IN MEXICOWORLD CLIMATIC HISTORY REWRITTEN
Brutal 43.5C at Gallinas on 12th under fierce fohn effect.
It's the highest temperature ever recorded so early in the whole Northern Hemisphere.
42.0C also at Padilla and Samta Rosa ,nearby.
More and more scientists are now beginning to anticipate extremes beyond the human ability to cope or adapt within just 5 to 10 years or so.
This Extinction Economy must be changed now to protect species and everyone.Comment -
How cold was January 2025?
The average temperature of the contiguous U.S. in January was 29.2°F, 0.9°F below average, ranking in the coolest third of the 131-year record and the coldest January on record (2005–25) for the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN).7 days ago

Nobody is arguing that the climate changes.

it proves the Democrats are absolutely correct in their assessments that the climate does indeed change. They prove it by sinking Trillions of dollars trying to halt these changes. You can see how affective their policies have been. Especially for their own bank accounts.Comment -
DipShit again demonstrating that he's got no fooking clue about this issue yet keeps posting his ignorance in this thread.
The colder than normal January in America was mostly due to the polar vortex phenomenon which is very clearly due to the effect of a warming planet, including the Arctic.

What is really caused the heatwave in Mexico?
Heat waves form when a high pressure area at an altitude of 3,000–7,600 metres (9,800–24,900 feet) strengthens and remains over a region for several days and up to several weeks. This is common in summer in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This is because the jet stream 'follows the sun'.Comment -

Debunking Climate Myths: What Science Says About Global Warming
It’s essential to differentiate between weather and climate. Weather refers to shortterm atmospheric conditions while climate represents longterm patterns. When someone quips “How can there be global warming if it’s snowing?” they are confusing these concepts. Science clarifies that even as weather fluctuates daily climate trends indicate a significant warming pattern over decades.
A frequent myth is that there’s no scientific consensus on climate change. In reality surveys of scientific literature reveal a strong consensus over 97% of actively publishing climate scientists agree that climate warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities. This overwhelming agreement underscores the scientific community’s united stance on the issue.
Another misconception is that climate change is a natural occurrence. While natural factors such as volcanic eruptions and solar variations do influence climate the current warming trend is largely driven by human activities. The burning of fossil fuels deforestation and industrial processes have significantly increased concentrations of greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere.
Some claim that carbon dioxide (CO2) is only a minor component of the atmosphere and thus not a big deal. However even small increases in CO2 levels can have a profound effect on the climate. Historical data demonstrate significant warming during periods of high CO2 concentration correlating directly with today’s unprecedented levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
Myths often downplay the consequences of rising sea levels. In truth thermal expansion of warming water along with melting glaciers and polar ice contributes to significant sea level rise. This phenomenon threatens coastal communities and ecosystems leading to erosion increased flooding and habitat loss for human and wildlife populations alike.
Some narratives suggest that global warming halted in the past decade. However data from multiple sources including NASA and NOAA indicate continued warming. Shortterm variations in surface temperature can occur but the overall trend remains an upward trajectory underscored by recordbreaking annual temperatures.Comment -

Trump has ordered that swathes of America’s forests be felled for timber, evading rules to protect endangered species while doing so and raising the prospect of chainsaws razing some of the most ecologically important trees in the US.
