After decades of being told that we humans were knowingly, fundamentally and radically altering the climate of our planet, the eerie orange haze had invaded the zone in which my family had always thought we could take refuge.
This was not another report of melting icecaps, rising oceans, blistering heat or unusual tornadoes somewhere far away; this was a horizon-to-horizon pall over us, rising from infernos across the great Canadian north that had been ignited by record temperatures, record drought and ceaseless lightning storms. -

“Take the heat seriously and avoid extended time outdoors,” wrote the Weather Prediction Center. Conditions can “be potentially deadly to anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration.”

Yesterday, on August 21, 2023, the global average sea surface temperature reached 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This is likely the hottest global average sea surface temperature in the last 125,000 years. The current graph of temperature increase, which continues to trend up and is completely disjointed from our recent records (1981-2023), looks like our ecological system is now following a different pathway forward. Will ocean temperatures continue to climb day after day (incredible thought) or will they stabilize at a new, much higher equilibrium? The recent pattern of unprecedented weather, storms, and fires looks like they will continue at an increasing rate of frequency, moving from weekly to daily occurrences in various parts of the world. Hold on to your hats!

"If we picture this on a graph and imagine the bottom 10% households' emissions (1.6 metric tons) are the size of average home, then the top 1 percent's emissions would be the size of [five] Empire State buildings stacked on top of each other and the top 0.1%'s emissions would be taller than Mount Everest," Starr told Salon. "This scale of emissions inequality was unknown before our study. I think it is a climate justice issue and it poses a fundamental challenge to our political system to respond to this level of emissions disparity."

To begin with, on a planetary basis, the environmental impacts of climate change are now unavoidable and worsening by the year. To take just one among innumerable global examples, the drought afflicting the American West has now persisted for more than two decades, leading scientists to label it a “megadrought” exceeding all recorded regional dry spells in breadth and severity. As of August 2021, 99 percent of the United States west of the Rockies was in drought, something for which there is no modern precedent. The recent record heat waves in the region have only emphasized this grim reality.

The incidents are part of a broader pattern of extreme weather and disasters that have unfolded across North America this summer, as climate change supercharges storms, rainfall, heat and drought, and produces weather patterns with the potential to cause devastation.

"They are trying to win the trust of a younger generation," said Sam Bright, DeSmog's UK deputy editor, told The Post. "They're not just promoting a particular product, but trying to alter their perception in the public eye and maintain their social license."
