USA seems to be in the midst of social collapse 2025. berkeleyearth.org: USA +1.7C now but +3.8C by 2100. Add +1C planet-wide every 25 years, even higher over terrain. Not pretty for humans. Sun, Wind, ideas like MEER.org can help.

We are probably going to cross 2C warming above baseline before 2040. Some of the histories and identities that have defined the past century will be destabilized. If the push for technofascism succeeds, then our understanding of reality and the past will be effaced by a Grokified nightmare.

The average global temperature has been setting new record highs for this time of year well over the last 10 consecutive days. Clearly, we are already seeing some of the extra building warmth from El Niño starting to show its fingerprint. Graphic from zacklabe.com/climate-chan...
Graph showing daily global mean near-surface air temperatures for 2026. This is also compared to the daily data from the 1971-2000 average, 1981-2010 average, and 1991-2020 average. Annotations are also shown to the current year with the other years from 1940 to 2025 and a threshold of 2°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level. There is a strong seasonal cycle, with a peak during the boreal summer season. There is a long-term warming trend. 2024 is also indicated, which was the warmest year on record. Data is from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis and updated through 18 August 2026.
