the global average temperature has been recorded as record high heat for each of t5he last 10 months according to observations.

One of the world's leading climate scientists says the world could be in "uncharted territory", with the researchers unable to fully explain why the world has been breaking heat records to such extremes for 10 months straight.
Last month was the hottest March on record, marking the 10th month in a row to reach that title, according to the European Union's key climate service Copernicus.
In Europe, the temperature for March was 2.12 degrees Celsius above the historical average, marking the second-warmest March on record for the continent.
Around the rest of the globe, temperatures were furthest above average over parts of Antarctica, Greenland, eastern North America, eastern Russia, Central America, parts of South America, and southern Australia.
The continuation of record-breaking heat comes after 2023 was officially declared the hottest year on record, by a long way.
ABC LINK. (my underline)

given the constant breaking of records over the last decade its increasingly obvious that the nay-sayers are wrong, wrong, wrong.

where we're headed is, as the quote above says, "uncharted territory". theres only estimates by modellers to give us a clue. but suffice to say we need to change what we are doing with energy production and energy use.

my theme has been use less energy, water, plastics and other necessary resources. reduce use, recycling everything one can, and refuse to use things produced with fossil fuels as much as possible.

1. China India and Indonesia going flat out building more coal fired power plants.
2. Australian governments seem hell bent on growing the population at an exponential growth rate.
3. Worthy goals to reduce one's impact but face facts, nothing Australia does will make ANY difference at all. None.

So we should put our energy and money into being resilient to what may be coming. Nonuse believing it's going to get better cos it ain't. Not until the non OECD countries stop their rampant GHG emissions growth.
