People all over the world are facing severe heat, floods and fire, aggravated by
the use of fossil fuels. The year isn’t halfway done.

Poll workers. Pilgrims. Tourists on a hike.

All have died in blistering heat in recent weeks around the world, a harrowing
reminder of the global dangers of extreme weather as a heat wave bears down on
nearly 100 million Americans this week.

Dozens of cities in Mexico broke heat records in May and June, killing more than
100 people. India has been under an extraordinarily long heat wave that killed
several election workers, and this week, in the capital, Delhi, even overnight
temperatures remained in the mid-90s Fahrenheit, or in the mid-30s Celsius.
Greece is bracing for wildfires this week, right after back-to-back heat waves
killed several tourists. In Bamako, the capital of Mali, hospitals reported more
than 100 excess deaths on the first four days of April, The Associated Press
reported.

Between May 2023 and May 2024, an estimated 6.3 billion people, or roughly 4 out
of 5 people in the world, lived through at least a month of what in their areas
were considered abnormally high temperatures, according to a recent analysis by
Climate Central, a scientific nonprofit.

The damage to human health, agriculture and the global economy is just beginning
to be understood.

It's anthropogenic global warming. Everyone knows this.

Any given hot (or cold) day is just weather. However, when the average
temperature keeps going up everywhere — and it is, dramatically — then that's
climate change. It's going to start killing people and rendering previously
livable places completely uninhabitable. Only gullible fools and paid liars deny
this.

I find it to be interesting that no one has responded to this thread!
But, yes, CO2 levels are rising:

The horrific scenario is if large areas of permafrost melt releasing
many megagrams of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into our World's
atmosphere, which, of course, will break down into CO2, which is a
long-lived greenhouse gas.

But, Donald Trump & Friends have promised more fossil fuel explorations!
