So I guess we were burning too much fossil fuels during the Cretaceous Period which would account for the much higher temps ever. Oh, wait.....we weren't around then. So maybe the Earth is once again experiencing similar climactic changes of which we did not initiate and cannot control. How arrogant of people to believe that we have the power to control anything and everything.Rapid reduction in fossil fuel burning urgently needed to preserve liveable conditions, say scientists, as climate damage deepens.
2023 smashes record for world’s hottest year by huge margin
Rapid reduction in fossil fuel burning urgently needed to preserve liveable conditions, say scientists, as climate damage deepens
2023 “smashed” the record for the hottest year by a huge margin, providing “dramatic testimony” of how much warmer and more dangerous today’s climate is from the cooler one in which human civilisation developed.
The planet was 1.48C hotter in 2023 compared with the period before the mass burning of fossil fuels ignited the climate crisis. The figure is very close to the 1.5C temperature target set by countries in Paris in 2015

I think we need to take this seriously. We are on the edge.
