Ground temperatures across great swathes of the ice sheets of Antarctica have soared an average of 10C above normal over the past month, in what has been described as a near record heatwave.
While temperatures remain below zero on the polar land mass, which is shrouded in darkness at this time of year, the depths of southern hemisphere winter, temperatures have reportedly reached 28C above expectations on some days.
The globe has experienced 12 months of record warmth, with temperatures consistently exceeding the 1.5C rise above preindustrial levels that has been touted as the limit to avoiding the worst of climate breakdown.
Climate catastrophe denial should be a jailable offense at this point.
I’d rather go for the people responsible for it, rather than the people who, understandably, want to pretend it isn’t happening.

Such a painfully good movie. It hurt because of how close it parodies reality.
People who are in full denial are quite a minority. The people who stand between us and action are the people who believe that it’s real and a problem we should do something about it, but stop short of advocating for real systemic change. Those are the people we need to be trying to reach
I didn’t say “full denial”, I said “denial”.
Yeah, that’s fair, I think we’re on the same page generally.
They are traitors against humanity. And should be seen and treated as such.
