The hottest day ever recorded.. so far
- AKA the coolest day in a long time.
- The coolest day of the rest of your life. (Not quite, but I tried.)
- 😓

Seems like I read this same headline a few times each year. Soon, rampant heat illness/stroke is going to make the recent pandemic look like a tiny blip when it comes to human mortality data.

This is fine...

Need to stop China. They are making 30+% of the entire world's carbon output and no plans to reduce that for another 7 years.
That's more than the next 6 biggest carbon polluters combined.
- Know how to stop China? Stop buying stuff made in China. All we, the west, are doing is outsourcing our carbon pollution to China.
- Should the rest of the world refuse to do anything until China curbs their emissions?
  
  Let's be honest, we are all fucked no matter how much we work towards reducing, it's already too late.
  The real question is how hard do we want to fuck ourselves?
- Need to stop China
  China has lower Per capita CO₂ emissions than Europe, the United States has higher emissions than the previous two combined:

  China is on track to nearly double its wind and solar capacity by 2025 and blow past the country’s 2030 clean power target five years early, according to Global Energy Monitor.
  They are making 30+% of the entire world’s carbon output and no plans to reduce that for another 7 years
  2022 - Sinopec has estimated that 10.68 million tonnes of carbon dioxide will be injected into the oilfield over the next 15 years, boosting crude oil production by nearly 3 million tonnes. Last year Sinopec captured and stored more than 1.52 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
  If anything it's the United States that needs to be stopped, and thankfully multipolarity is making this a reality soon.
  
  Thanks for dropping the facts comrade. It's hard for some people to understand that having 1.4 billion people means you can't compare apples to apples with USA or Europe. China is by far working the hardest on lowering their carbon footprint.
  And yes, I'm considering the SocDems in Europe, those people don't use a lot of energy because they produce nothing. If their overseas manufacturing plants produce carbon, it's not part of their footprint, on paper. China produces many things, their footprint matters to many countries.
- Bro China is one of the greatest contributors to renewable energy 💀

Global warming is a myth, it won’t amount to a hill of beans. /s

Yay…

This is all just a natural earth cycle \s
