🔗 Antarctic temperatures rise 10C above average in near record heatwave | The Guardian

Ground temperatures across great swathes of the ice sheets of Antarctica have soared an average of 10C above normal over the past month, in what has been described as a near record heatwave...

The globe has experienced 12 months of record warmth, with temperatures consistently exceeding the 1.5C rise above preindustrial levels that has been touted as the limit to avoiding the worst of climate breakdown.

Humans of the future will ask why we refused to act and we will rightly be condemned for our failure.
