There have been record temperatures every day for more than a year. Scientists are investigating what’s behind the extraordinary measurements.

“There’s no ambiguity about the data,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “So really, it’s a question of attribution.”

Understanding what specific physical processes are behind these temperature records will help scientists improve their climate models and better predict temperatures in the future.

    Unfortunately, there is no peaceful solution. Conservative greed cannot be stopped by pacifism. Physical force will be required. Because we don’t talk openly about this, most normal people cannot see a way to win.

    The rules that benefit conservative corporations are designed for us to follow all the way to our graves. One cannot step out of line without risking health, home or freedom. Protests are ineffective. Action is required - widespread action that would require coordination and communication.

    We aren’t allowed to communicate openly about the specific actions needed, as those actions break the rules. So it is perfectly reasonable for people to recognize the impending loss, given the obviously ineffective options we are presented.
