Last month was the warmest January on record globally.

It was also separately the warmest January for global land areas and the 2nd warmest for global ocean areas.

A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each January from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in January 2025 was 1.33°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. A map of temperature anomalies in January 2025 is also shown. Red shading is for warmer than average temperatures, and blue shading is shown for colder than average temperatures. The climatological baseline on the map is relative to 1971 to 2000. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

So are we just going to keep posting this every month until society collapses and most of us die within 10-20 years?

    NOAA will be dismantled first (or they will be forced to massage these numbers somehow)

    Toss a coin to ur witcher climate scientist employed in the public sector providing publically available datasets

    It’ll take longer that that and society won’t collapse without us experiencing some very painful death throes first. Gonna be a pretty wild ride. I feel bad for our children and their children most of all.

    If covid and Trump have taught me anything it's that the majority of people aren't willing to do a damned thing until they themselves are hurt in some way. Based on this and my experience with peoples' unwillingness to admit they're wrong, I'd say we'll keep going until the majority of people tap-out from the heat.

    In other words, we're just screwed.
