I love that people who are the most adamant proponents of green energy are the ones who know the least about how energy actually works.
I must say that I do not think that, despite the best attempts by politicians, world leaders and concerned citizens, the effects of climate change will be slowed enough to make a lasting and effective difference. The most dramatic and damaging effects will not be realized until the vast majority of us on this board are no longer around.
For the sake of mankind and the planet, I sincerely hope I am wrong, of course.

Key term…. “On record”.

Anything can set records if you pick the right parameters.
on record refers to the last 130-150 years. Hottest out of 130 years is cause for concern
Avg temp in 1921.....54.4F
Avg temp in 2019....53.6F
Avg. temp in 1910....54.5F
Damn those steamships and trains.
Why concern? Were there less cold related deaths? Is there more vegetation and food capacity? How should we express our concern? Social media posts? Votes in elections?
Maybe this is better posted here:
Depressing to see how much microplastics are put into the environment by the degradation of tires and that tires on heavy vehicle shed more, like the tires on electric vehicles.
Cue depressing music here. Will we die from climate change or from microplastics in the environment?
Keep plastics off of Neptune!!

Ah yes. The always objective World Economic Forum just looking out for the planet.
I've literally heard no one say ever that China would take a lead on environmental issues. lol.... The argument is typically "But China is going to do it anyways"
