In case you are wondering 2020 is already on the path to be another temerature record around the world

You can look at the hottest ever recorded temperatures for each country and realize that most of them have been set in the the past 5-10 years.

The direction in which we are heading is very clear and it is only getting faster.

If you think the economy is going bad now just wait until this development progresses further.

It's not getting any warmer in Minnesota so far.  Every Summer our meteorologist say we average something like 18 summer days above 90 degrees, and every Summer the past 10 years we have had only a few 90 degree days.  We had one hot winter maybe 7 years ago with above average temperatures, we got into the 70's in March and everyone was saying global warming was here, and the following winter we had something like 40 days straight of below 0 temperature form January-February which had never happened in my life.

You're seriously taking anecdotal data from one city? Well thing is what's the overall trend, not isolated incidents. Some areas will actually get crazy cold for no reason but overall things will be hotter. Hell erratic temperature changes of both sides is an issue that's part of the problem. Shorter colder winters will happen in some unexpected places in the world due to how weird everything is. And looking at trends, the world should be colder right now, not hotter. But that's what humans are doing and there doesn't seem to be a will to actually invest in green energy and solve the problem.

I believe the world currently has the technology it needs to save humanity from climate catastrophe but there isn't a will. You can invest in getting solar and wind power for electricity and stuff like graphene batteries and electric cars and stop mining more and more oil but the wealthy people who control the game and make the profits are only interested in short term profits instead of sustainability. That's why they create propaganda that makes it think like science is just an opinion and the perception that scientists have been warning collapse in a few short years when the actual thing is they used to say by 2050 or something and now they say by 2030 or 2040 and that is not when catastrophe will occur but that's the point of no return in that if nothing is done and current trends continue, we can't stop the damage altogether anymore. We can only mitigate the harmful effects of everything. The catastrophe itself has a much longer time span of occurring but stopping the catastrophe has a short timespan.
