Breaking News! Breaking News! Breaking News! CO₂ levels were just released for May, 2023 by NOAA and for the first time since records began reached 424.00 ppm. This unprecedented level was a full 3.01 ppm above the May, 2022 reading. Link: https://t.co/KH6ElANVo7

The whole North Atlantic Ocean is 0.4°C hotter than ever* for this date. We are finding out. *ever meaning "ever observed since reliable data is available", for all the deniers grabbing for semantics straws.

World's temperature likely to break key 1.5C warming threshold for first time between 2023 and 2027, scientists predict

Not that we weren't already alarmed, but these trends are crazy... #ClimateChange: recent, rapid ocean warming alarms scientists https://t.co/b1SBd2jqHY
