The World Climate Organization waves the red flag about the climate.
Their newest report shows that records were once again broken, and in some cases smashed, for greenhouse gas levels, surface temperatures, ocean heat and #acidification , #SeaLevelRise , Antarctic sea ice cover and glacier retreat.
2023 was the warmest year on record, with the global average temperature at 1.45 °Celsius above the pre-industrial baseline. It was the warmest ten-year period on record.

Here's their animated summary in 75 seconds with some uplifting back-ground music:

Remarkably enough, after 1 minute of doom and gloom about the situation, the animation ends with the message "There is still hope". You know the gig, #renewables #GreenNewDeal #GreenWashing etc.

Let me also share another video, which was made almost 40 years ago in 1985. It's Carl Sagan testifying before US congress:

He tells us:

"... there are effects that have long time consequences. If you don't worry about it now, it's too late later on. So in this issue, as in so many others, we are passing on extremely grave problems for our children, when the time to solve these problems, if they can be solved, is NOW!"
