“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”
Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.

My wife told me I was a doomer gloomer for not wanting to have kids due to climate uncertainty. I wanted to adopt instead.
I’m terrified of how the world will look over the next century for my 6 month old son.
You gave in, huh?
I’m confused. You don’t want your own kids because they might be in peril due to the climate. I get that. But do you think it will be any easier to leave an adopted kid in a world that you think is unfit to have children in?
Assuming you’re asking in good faith, the difference would be helping someone through this hell-hole that’s already here, and was disadvantaged at the start. As opposed to bringing someone in.
On top of that, having kids carries a massive carbon footprint. An adopted kid is already penciled in for that. I’d even wager a kid in the system would be more of a burden on carbon levels than one in a home.
…can’t tell if serious
Can’t be going and adopting kids all willy nilly, or else the adoption factories might ramp up production!
/s
Obviously he should just kill his adopted kid
The user is interpreting it as the OP wanted to not have kids because of climate uncertainty - did not want to raise a kid that would have to deal with the climate. So instead they adopted a kid to raise someone else’s kid in a world where they would have to deal with the climate.
I think OP is implying reduction of population but the comment kinda reads weird.

Narrator: The world became uninhabitable. But for a short time, it created tremendous value for our shareholders.
Woohoo! The beginning of the end!!
It doesn’t have to be. That’s entirely a human decision.
And humans wont do anything till its too late. As we always do.
Or even then. If it makes a penny less profit, it’s not going to happen.
Dont know why people are downvoting you. If it doesnt make money then it wont make change.
This isnt a fairytail. We arent promised a happy ending.
fairy tale
Reality isn’t fun to think about when you know nothing you do matters.
This has not always been the case, nor does it have to be now. I’m not what has to be done to get government officials on board, but if that doesn’t change soon the future looks pretty bleak.
I just can’t imagine our current political systems being capable of passing enough laws and regulations to turn it around. We have to have nearly the entire planet to agree on something?! Fuck.
That’s up to us. Get involved. Join an activist group, or a political campaign. Change policy. Show your neighbors how it’s possible to cut fossil fuels out of your life.
History is a big teacher, this issue is coming from the big boys of industry. Without major industry change it aint gonna happen, and worldwide as well. Even if the USA goes to 0 other countries can keep it going and offset any good we do.
Im not being a downer, im being real, its bad. Real bad.
Show your neighbors how it’s possible to cut fossil fuels out of your life
Corporations account for more than 80% of all emissions. Anything we do on a personal level is the proverbial drop in the ocean
Kinda sorta; they’re responsible for more than 80% of scope 3 emissions, which counts what happens when fossil fuels they extract and sell are subsequently burned. Individually, what you do is tiny, but as you show people around you that it’s possible to live without fossil fuels, it changes behavior in the aggregate.
When the vast majority of people are struggling just to survive on their ever weakening paychecks, where often even personal health becomes ignored, people dont have the economic, mental, or physical capability to do that. Or they may not even have the literally time available by working numerous jobs.
If it was going to happen, it would have already happened years/decades ago when scientists and environmentalists were already raising the alarms.
This is waiting until the entire kitchen in engulfed in flames before even considering turning off the oven. That option is long past. People are going to die. A lot of people. I cant stress how bad it is. A lot of fucking people are going to die, and many many more are going to suffer.
This is not true.
Sorry, but you’ll need to bring evidence for that kind of statement
you misspelled republiQans
It does have to be. Because humans continue to make that decision, day in and day out, and ignore graphs like this. They ignore the blistering hot unprecedented Summer temps, the Arctic blasts, the hurricanes, the hailstorms, the increased insurance rates or even the unavailability of insurance altogether. They just keep driving their F150s to the office in rush hour traffic while heating hundreds of gallons of water in their pools that go unused 99.9% of the time.
Well i’m not a scientist (actually I am, but not a climate scientist), but im gunna take a wild flailing stab in the dark and suggest it’s maybe due to unfettered fossil fuel emissions.
Call me crazy but i think this might be what’s happening here.
what’s happening?
Gettin hotter, innit?
First time?
We will be a footnote in Earth’s history, a dead branch on the tree of evolution
what’s happening?
Climate change.
If you read the article, climate change + El Nino + reduced aerosols in the atmosphere + a volcano eruption + a yet unknown factor, which the article is about.
Fair, and bonus points for RTFA.
That said - we know what it’s about. That graph isn’t new. We did this last year too.
Yes but all of those other items are not new, and thus not really responsible.
Instead of the bathwater cooling off after the tubs been filled, its heating up. We don’t understand why.
No body understand the ocean. 🤪
