The carbon emissions driving the climate crisis and rapid arrival of an El Niño event are to blame, researchers say
Global temperatures soared to a new record in September by a huge margin, stunning scientists and leading one to describe it as “absolutely gobsmackingly bananas”.
The hottest September on record follows the hottest August and hottest July, with the latter being the hottest month ever recorded. The high temperatures have driven heatwaves and wildfires across the world.
September 2023 beat the previous record for that month by 0.5C, the largest jump in temperature ever seen. September was about 1.8C warmer than pre-industrial levels. Datasets from European and Japanese scientists confirm the leap.
I don’t think we are in disagreement. Our definitions of “conservatives” may be slightly different. Conservatives include neo-liberals. Neo-liberals and everyone to the right of them have been aggressively protecting their corporate benefactors for generations. It’s possible to have an egalitarian culture with some regulated, properly checked capitalism. It is not possible to have an egalitarian culture with conservatives protecting capitalists and preventing regulation of that capitalism.
I also agree that there does not appear to be a peaceful solution. The cure for this disease is removal of conservatives (including neo-liberals and all others who would protect capitalist oppressors) from our population.
