LYRICS
\nMy, oh, my
\nWas the hottest July
\nWhy, oh, why
\nOn trust rely
\nCan you remember
\nA hotter September
\nRecording breaking record
\nSets the new accord
\nChord
\nTurns minor
\nCan’t insure
\nWord turns dire
\nWho’ll endure?<\/p>\n
Cry, woe, cry
\nWe’re all going to fry
\nWhy, oh, why
\nOn trust rely
\nCan you remember
\nA hotter September
\nRecording breaking record
\nSets the new accord
\nChord
\nTurns minor
\nCan’t insure
\nWord turns dire
\nWho’ll endure?<\/p>\n
No, no, no
\nWe don’t want to die
\nWhy, oh, why
\nOn trust rely
\nCan you remember
\nA hotter September
\nRecording breaking record
\nSets the new accord
\nChord
\nTurns minor
\nCan’t insure
\nWord turns dire
\nWho’ll endure?<\/p>\n

A song about the hottest temperatures on Earth ever. During the first week of July 2023, the Earth had the hottest days ever. The European Space Agency’s Copernicus Climate Change Service calculated that the average temperature for September was 16.38 degrees Celsius (61.48 degrees Fahrenheit) breaking the previous record set in September 2020 by a half-degree Celsius (0.9 degrees Fahrenheit). This is the largest increase in a monthly record high ever.<\/p>\n
“It’s just mind-blowing really,” said Copernicus Director Carlo Buontempo. “Never seen anything like that in any month in our records.”<\/p>\n
“This is not a fancy weather statistic. It’s a death sentence for people and ecosystems. It destroys assets, infrastructure, harvest,” Imperial College of London climate scientist Friederike Otto said. As extreme weather events intensify, insurance will become more and more difficult to obtain. The oil industry is going to be like the tobacco industry. The consumers claim they were misled about the dangers of burning fossil fuels and file lawsuits against the oil companies. As litigation drags on, you will not be able to buy oil or get insurance at a reasonable price (similar to what happened to cigarette smokers.) Who’ll endure? This research reveals more evidence that humans will have difficulty adapting to climate change<\/strong>, especially those in developing countries, Mora said. “The magnitude of the vulnerability when you think about one or two diseases — okay, sure, we can deal with that,” he said. “But when you’re talking about 58% of the diseases, and 58% of those diseases can be affected or triggered in 1,000 different ways. So that, to me, was also revealing of the fact that we’re not going to be able to adapt to climate change<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n In 2023, we wrote about having crossed tipping points<\/a> in the paper, “Climate Change: How Long Is ‘Ever’?<\/a>“. When we wrote the Tunnel Under Thesis in 1995, we forecast crossing these tipping points would not happen for centuries. We underestimated Man’s ignorance and arrogance. Fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have continued to set record highs. Humans have caused chain-reactions resulting in toppled tipping points, feedback loops<\/a>, and The Domino Effect<\/a>.
