This comes from the group that holds multiple climate conferences every year, including the big one in the Fall for which tens of thousands take long fossil fueled trips, along with hundreds if not thousands who fly private jets
The planet just marked a “shocking” new milestone, enduring 12 consecutive months of unprecedented heat, according to new data from Copernicus, the European Union’s climate monitoring service.
Every single month from June 2023 to May 2024 was the world’s hottest such month on record, Copernicus data showed. (snip)
(UN General Secretary) Guterres urged world leaders to swiftly take control of the spiraling climate crisis or face dangerous tipping points. “We are playing Russian roulette with our planet,” he said Wednesday. “We need an exit ramp off the highway to climate hell.”
Would this be the same Guterres who took a long fossil fueled trip to Nepal and another to the Antarctic for a climate scam photo-op? Anyhow, the record doesn’t go back that far. Can they compare to direct observations during the previous Holocene warm periods? That’s how science works, to see if it is shocking and unprecedented. Oh, and it is not accelerating.
‘Hanging by a Thread’: U.N. Chief Warns of Missing a Key Climate Target
With the planet in the grips of its highest temperatures in more than 100,000 years, scientists with the United Nations weather agency have crunched the numbers and come to a stark conclusion: More record-hot years are all but inevitable.
In the next five years, there’s a nearly 90 percent chance Earth will set yet another record for its warmest year, surpassing the scorching highs experienced in 2023, the World Meteorological Organization said in a report Wednesday.
What if it doesn’t? Who resigns/gets fired and has their career put in tatters? Nothing is hanging by a thread, the world has been warmer during the Holocene, and we were fine.
UN Secretary-General Urges Ban on Fossil Fuel Ads as Planet Warms
It’d be fun if petroleum companies refused to sell to the UN and their employees. It is cute how they want to get all sorts climafascist, eh, though, really, none of the companies need to advertise: people will still show up at the gas stations. Since I mostly stream I rarely ever see or hear an ad on TV or from iHeart Radio or Spotify. I do not think I hear them on FM when I listen to the Two Guys Named Chris show, or, the times I’m watching News14 for the weather. I still go. I bet you do, too.
And what is to lower carbon? Taxes, which will do nothing. Fact is we might have climate change but it is not man causing that. We need more carbon not less.
It’s all about the money. It’s always been about the money. In this particular case, it is about establishing a dedicated funding stream for UN activities and aristocrats so that their first class travel budgets are not held hostage by the USA every time we get a majority Republican government. The UN has always wanted a funding stream that goes directly to them so that member nations couldn’t interfere with it or use purse strings to dampen corruption. Just like the Federal government demanded income tax because excise taxes and taxing states couldn’t provide enough to satisfy DCs apetites. Just like the MERTO Rail agency want a direct funding line from the Federal taxpayers so they don’t need to ask Maryland and Virginia legislatures to increase their contributions every year. Corrupt politicians always want independent funding streams that cannot be throttled by others.
bingo!!!
Carbon emissions ? They have declined 30% in 20 years.
Energy costs? Im 1980 Americans spent an average of 17% on energy, we now spend about 8%.
Many of the reasons were government mandated
Sorry, Carbon boy-no one “mandated” a greater amount of fracking being done, which was the major reason US emissions went down.
“Every single month 2023 to 2024 hottest on record..”. Which if one is trying to be that exact to compare like to like, would only mean back to the mid 1800s with widespread thermometer use. Out of 4.5 billion.
OTOH
n 2021, the United States spent $1.3 trillion on energy, which was a 25% increase from 2020 when adjusted for inflation. This was equivalent to 5.6% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and $3,967 per person. The peak for energy spending in the US was in 2014, when it was almost $1.4 trillion
What I spent for a gallon of gas in the past has nothing to do with the price here and now.

Jamey your total energy bill adjusted for inflation is less than before, when your Arab oil sheik overlords had more control.
Renewables are freeing us from their control.
You believed it when politicians told you that the price would go down if only they were allowed to drill more
DRILL BABY DRILL
Well we are setting records for production but price keeps going up. One reason is because the deet light in the USA can’t be defined here. Our refinery’s want sour. The biggest oil refinery Trump allowed to be sold to the Saudis who produced sour oil
