It’s not the new norm, this is just the beginning.

Climate change deniers: "It's summer."

The machine-heads have managed to engineer a furnace out of Eden. We need a Global Rescue Party.
-
We don't have years. We've already gone over the cliff.
-
Even after the sunset when the wind blows it feels like the wind is coming from a hair dryer. And during daytime the heat is unbearable. 🥵 Here Gurugram, Haryana.

I can no longer celebrate people's vacations away from home, Cruises, air flights, auto travel all burn a huge amount of fossil fuels. All those trinkets bought in markets for souvenirs will soon go to a landfill, new clothes for the 'trip' also add up to a big carbon footprint. None of my friends appreciate my pessimism and they think I'm exaggerating or foolish.
-
We're speeding towards a cliff and we have no brakes.
-
We are already above 1.5 in my opinion.
-
Nothing can stop this now. The system of consumption and growing population cannot be stopped. The work around systems are too slow.
-
Thank you so much for covering this issue.
-
We are addicted to oil in many ways and those that profit from oil will fight tooth and nail to keep it flowing.
-
50 Celsius! Crazy
-
Unfortunately the 1.5c over the long-term average is not attainable, we will be very lucky to keep the global average rise below 3c. Governments are still dragging their feet. In Australia we have the Liberal leadership talking about walking away from targets. I really hate to say this, my gut feeling is, we are all fuk'd, thanks to greed.
-
You ignore a problem for 28 years (since the first COP Conference) and this is what you get! It's like not fixing your house after a hurricane, and continuing to complain it's still not liveable in for 28 years!
-
Islamabad, Pakistan has been at 48/49c for over a week. Highest I have seen it go was 46c in 1992 in 70 years.
-
Earthquakes, floods, heat waves etc...climate catastrophe projected to worsen. How will people be affected? Badly. How will biodiversity be affected? The worst and no fault of theirs.
-
Here in Egypt there is an insane heat wave. You don't realize how bad global warming really is until you experience it in reality and not just hear about it in the news.
-
Has being alive gotten so painful that humans are okay with extinction? What we thought was important turns out it's not. More, better, bigger, faster, stronger...steeped in greed and envy.
-
What a fantastic program. Very interesting and educational. Unfortunately we will still be at the mercy of contributing corporations and the pollution created by humans, not only mother nature.
-
All our suffering is a small price to pay, so billionaires don't need to change their lifestyle.
