> The data is the latest from C3S following last month's COP30 climate summit, where governments failed to agree to substantial new measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reflecting strained geopolitics as the U.S. rolls back its efforts, and some countries seek to weaken CO2-cutting measures.
>
> This year will also likely round out the first three-year period in which the average global temperature exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, when humans began burning fossil fuels on an industrial scale, C3S said in a monthly bulletin. "These milestones are not abstract -- they reflect the accelerating pace of climate change," said Samantha Burgess, strategic lead for climate at C3S.

Don't blame Trump! for all of his bs and bluster, we are not drilling more, the saudi's are simply flooding the market with oil, the purpose, I suspect, is to bankrupt American oil companies. They have gone bankrupt before, and will again, no biggie.

In a similar vein I can't help but feel the argument over climate change for 30 years has been just a variation of this:

Screw the C3S forecasts and CO2 cutting efforts. Throw another lump of coal in the stove, Bob Cratchet.

Except part of the reason for the cold is because the warming atmosphere is messing with the air currents which normally keep the cold air north.
If you have a 5 gallon bucet of cold water and pour in a quart of hot water, that hot water will mix with the cold water causing currents until everything equalizes.
Same with the atmosphere.

Doesn't matter. That sort of thing is lost on the majority of the public. The climate change folks need to put a better spin on their marketing pitch.

The "climate change folks." We are the worst crew of the only inhabited space object we know of. Should we not all be "the climate change folks?"

Time for Slashdot to wake up. Along with the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Rightly or wrongly the vast majority of the world's nations don't believe in any kind of climate crisis. They don't believe there is any 'accelerating rate of climate change'. They don't believe anything much is going on. This includes the ones whose emissions are greatest and fastest growing. And even within the nations whose political leadership does still claim to believe in it, their populations increasingly do not.
