We have currently had 12 consecutive months of record breaking global temperatures, with an average of 1.63°C above the pre-industrial levels. Good times.

The one consistent trend with the climate crisis has been that things are happening a lot faster than expected.

I was in the Rockies on Jul 4 like over 10 years ago. It was snowing at the higher elevations. Definitely a weird experience to go from snow and then like an hour later (driving back down to Denver/surrounding areas elevation) it's 90F and you're at a lake.

But anyway, let me crank up my AC running on fossil fuel-generated electricity and maybe later water my extra dry lawn...
