    Three of the most significant greenhouse gases contributing to global heating - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - reached new record highs again last year, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Global CO2 levels are now over 50% higher than they were before mass industrialization, due to the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and livestock agriculture. Meanwhile, climate scientists continue to raise alarm over the catastrophic impacts of rising temperatures in Antarctica after researchers in 2022 recorded the largest hike in temperature ever measured in the coldest region on Earth. "All of these records that are being broken should be absolutely no surprise to the public," says NASA climate scientist Peter Kalmus, speaking with Democracy Now! in his personal capacity and not on behalf of the agency. "The cause is the fossil fuel industry. The only way out of this heat nightmare is to end the fossil fuel industry." Kalmus also discusses Monday's solar eclipse across much of North America, saying the celestial event should cause introspection about humanity's place in the universe and lead to better stewardship of the planet. "We live on a very fragile and beautiful rock in space, the only place we know in the cosmos to support life," he says.

    I am so sick of climate change deniers. I am 32 years old, and I have witnessed firsthand the change in average climate in my home country of the UK. We experienced the hottest temperatures ever recorded in London just 2 years ago, when the temperature reached 40c. Back when I was a child, a hot summer in the UK was considered to be anything above 25c, once we hit the 30s, it was considered a “heat wave”, and was a once in every few years occurrence, but this now happens every year. Christmases are now noticeably hotter too, we’ve had several Christmases in the last 5 years when the temperature has been >15c, which again, was unheard of when I was a child, when the temperatures would rarely go above 6c all of December.
    It is truly terrifying to think of the future that awaits us. I sincerely hope those responsible are tried at for crimes against humanity.

    To say that any and all technological/geoengineering solutions are irrelevant and only a distraction is something I profoundly disagree with. Do big oil companies try to lie or downplay the effects of their polluting? Sure, but that doesn't mean all technological solutions are bad or not worth trying. Carbon capture is not a terrible idea. Advances in green hydrogen and nuclear power (in particular nuclear fusion) is not a bad thing in addition to solar, wind etc. To just say, end all fossil fuel industries, without having solid alternatives in place, is not plausible or realistic. Obviously green energy has come a long way, but it's not yet enough to power the whole earth and entire industries still need to transition from reliance on fossil fuels. I would entirely support ending subsidies to fossil fuel companies and further incentivizing green advancements and adoption of new technologies and energy sources but it doesn't happen over night

    If I'm not mistaken, it's going to take decades for the climate to catch up with what we've already done to the atmosphere. Even if we drop carbon / methane emissions to 0, we still have decades of warming ahead of us. That's not even counting when the permafrost in the arctic begins to thaw and decompose. That will add dramatically to greenhouse gas emissions and I don't think there's any way to stop it.

Maybe we could have passed the tipping point with runaway warming. Still there is a difference between 1°, 2°, 3°, etc. in terms of its affect on the environment and human civilization. I think one problem is convincing people that a sacrifice, like carbon taxes, would do anything to mitigate the problem.

    The main point that no one seems to want to talk about is that green energy is more expensive and requires less people working. Those are two very real problems we have to figure out or no one is going to move forward on it. No one wants to pay more or repurchase a whole bunch of their current assets including governments and companies. the second major point is that even if we stopped all fossil fuel use right now it will be a substantial amount of time to remove said carbon therefore we definitely need to have plans in place to deal with flooding fires ect and that requires labor and money. That requires a strong economy. No country is going to want to lose its spot in the pecking order while they shuffle their entire system and you can see that playing out in all the superpower nations right now.
