Hottest year on record sent planet past 1.5C of heating for first time in 2024

We didn't even try.

Back then (like, a few years ago, really), the idea was that the tipping point was far off.

When I was a kid (I’m mid 30s), we heard “if we don’t make changes over the next few decades, a couple hundred years into the future the world will start to become more hostile.”

A few short years later, it was “the coming generation will need to make changes or we will be leaving a world much less inhabitable for our children’s children.”

That very quickly turned into “this is happening right now.”

The talk of 1.5c warming was lifetimes off. And here we did it while the fuckin boomers are still clinging to power (in the US anyway).

The entire targets thing was a lie. Kinda a soft approach to 'we are fucked'

This is why I only had one child.

But don’t worry, 2028 will only be the hottest year since 2023! (Followed of course by the hottest year on record in 2029 again).

This reminds me of Office Space.

"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life"

Oddly enough, Office Space also ends with everything on fire!

Better get ready soon, looks like round 1 is about to happen with u.s. vs Canada once trump gets in.
