The global surface air temperature is currently hotter than it has ever been this time of the year in recorded history. The global average was 2.11 degrees Celsius higher than it was the same day in 1940 on November 4th 2026, and it was 1.46 degrees higher than it was in 1980. That's a huge temperature change in the blink of an eye. Global warming is real, and the rate our planet is warming at is accelerating. Our oceans are also heating up, and they too are heating at an accelerating rate. We have seen new sea surface temperature records daily since June 2026. The global sea surface temperature was slightly more than one degree Celsius higher than it was in 1980 on November 4th 2026 and it was more than half a degree higher than 2020. One cubic meter of water holds four thousand times more energy than a cubic feet of air so that is a huge and highly significant increase in a tiny geological timeframe. El Nino is a weather pattern where unusually warm ocean conditions form along the tropical west coast of South America. This pattern repeats every few years. This year is a El Nino year and this years El Nino is many magnitudes warmer than it has been at any point in recorded history. The weather will be more extreme all over the globe in the coming months due to this pattern. Many will need to consider if they need to evacuate. Two centuries of unchecked ever-increasing fossil fuel consumption with resulting greenhouse gas pollution is catching up with us. We have changed the earth's atmosphere and our planets energy imbalance and the increasing temperatures we are seeing are a result of that imbalance over time. It will get hotter and hotter as time goes on, and the rate our planet is warming at is accelerating. There is no fix, there is no way we can remove the greenhouse gasses we have already released from the atmosphere and they are not going away on their own in any timeframe that matters. This is a very unfortunate predicament. We absolutely can avoid making this predicament worse, but that is not what the vast majority of people are doing. Most people choose to accelerate the rapid global warming we have caused by driving a car. Please take personal responsibility for the consequences of your own actions and don't drive a car, and don't buy anything you do not strictly need. All forms of human consumption causes additional damage to a biosphere now in rapid unstoppable collapse. You can and should make a difference. #climate #collapse #oceans #temperatures #elnino #biospherecollapse #globalwarming #theweakshallperish #environment

"Reducing methane emissions is an effective tool to curb warming in the short term. One way of doing that is producing and eating less meat. Shifting toward more plant-based diets could make a meaningful difference. Raising cattle for human consumption is also one of the main drivers of deforestation, which contributes to warming by eliminating carbon sinks." https://grist.org/food-and-agriculture/the-planets-vital-signs-are-getting-worse-one-of-the-easiest-fixes-is-your-diet/ #GlobalWarming #environment #ClimateChange #climate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #pollution #nature #science

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis "The world’s wealthiest people are not just profiting from the polluting causes of climate breakdown, they are also increasingly cashing in on the catastrophic consequences, according to a study by Oxfam. The global equality organisation has found that the richest 0.1% of the world’s population are heavily invested in disaster preparedness, recovery and reconstruction – a market that is projected to grow from $70bn to $92bn a year by 2029. This gives the planet’s wealthiest and most powerful people a “double dividend” from the climate crisis and, more alarmingly, an incentive to delay or disrupt action to solve the problem, the NGO says." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/oct/27/super-rich-double-dividend-climate-crisis-oxfam #EnvironmentalTerrorism #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #News #HumanRights #AnimalRights #PlanetaryRights #Activism #Climate #Environment

This "Doomsday Glacier" could drown coastlines around the world. And the outlook is getting worse. As it melts away faster than ever, scientists are racing to get a better understanding of when it might fail. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming
