Monday, July 3 was the hottest day EVER recorded on Earth. A hugely significant record that stood...

... a mere 24 hours when Tuesday, July 4 broke the record for hottest day ever measured.

This is the crisis. Every day is record-breaking, every day is heartbreaking.

Scientists estimate that Monday, July 3 and subsequently Tuesday, July 4 were the hottest days on Earth for 125,000 years.

Washington Post Tuesday was the hottest day on Earth since at least 1979, with the global average temperature reaching 62.92 degrees Fahrenheit (17.18 degrees Celsius), according to data from the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction. As a result, some scientists believe July 4 may have been one of the hottest days on Earth in about 125,000 years, due to a dangerous combination of climate change causing global temperatures to soar, the return of the El Nino pattern and the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

Meanwhile, a new database reveals over 1,500 lobbyists are working for fossil-fuel companies while at the same time representing hundreds of cities, universities, technology companies & environmental groups that say they're tackling the climate crisis.

The Guardian: More than 1,500 lobbyists in the US are working on behalf of fossil-fuel companies while at the same time representing hundreds of liberal-run cities, universities, technology companies and environmental groups that say they are tackling the climate crisis, the Guardian can reveal. Lobbyists for oil, gas and coal interests are also employed by a vast sweep of institutions, ranging from the city governments of Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia; tech giants such as Apple and Google; more than 150 universities; some of the country’s leading environmental groups – and even ski resorts seeing their snow melted by global heating.

I am reading a book called Earth Grief about this common experience of heartbreak & grief for the Earth & all living creatures, which are humanity's entire life support system.

@luckytran I really honestly feel horrible for all the world's children... the future is going to be rough even if mankind goes through an absolutely unprecedented effort to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

@luckytran Hmm, "some... believe... may have been..." is a lot more doubtful than "were".

@luckytran the only way to stop these suicidal billionaires, companies, and governments is worldwide Extreme revolution at this point

@gavinisdie @luckytran

will only happen locally in some places when it's far, far too late to do anything about it, and those revolutions will likely be squashed locally as well then. As long as not everybody on Earth is equally in a bad place at the very same time, not much is gonna happen because of people's inherent tendency to look toward their survival first, so any sort of "joint effort" is sort of doomed from the get go.

Btw: i hope i am 100% wrong with all that
