I think they are quite content to do absolutely nothing about our most pressing social and environmental issues. I struggle to remember the last time I heard an actual attempt at a solving a real problem. Mostly, I hear rhetoric and personal takes.
But they got that one (1) transgender child out of school sports!
Of course they don’t.
The second they do, their base might start realizing that they’re fucked, that their children might die young due to the effects of climate change, and that its all caused by the very people they voted for.
Tar and feathers would be the least of their worries, they would be shredded toes first.
So better not mention it, with the added benefit that you can keep pushing laws that get you even more monies
Considering they had no platform at all in 2020, that’s not particularly surprising.
“The hottest year on record”.
This is becoming a joke, right?
Practically every year is the hottest on record now. It’s kind of lost significance, when it’s generally a good bet next year will be hotter.- 2010
- 2014
- 2015 / 2022
- 2016
- 2017
- 2018 / 2021
- 2019
- 2020
- 2023
- 2024 (so far)
- 2025 (probably)
Edited for clarity.
Citationthere’s also the nice, easy to understand visual of the warming stripes …
That’s awesome!
It makes sense to say “the hottest year on record” if “practically every year is the hottest on record now” and you’re talking about the most recent year.
Does it make more or less sense than “Another year of record breaking heat”?
“Hottest year on record” is like a child stopping on each step of a staircase saying, “I’ve never been this high!” It’s correct, but doesn’t mean much in context, and gets old real quick.
Everything I come across says that 2023 was the hottest year on record so far, but I don’t know the source of this info and I’ve never seen the list you provided.
Yeah the person above you had a slightly old list. 2023 smashed all previous records and was number one. Well until 2024 it was number one I guess.

At this point, if I understand the data correctly, the planet would need to get dangerously cold for the remainder of the year to not go down as the hottest year on record
I edited the list trying to make it more clear.
The point is, most years since 2014 have been “The hottest year on record.” It’s kind of lost significance as as an outlier, when it’s generally a good bet next year will be hotter.
@Steve It does sound geeky, but yes, it is technically correct to say about a year that is the hottest year on record.
And the fact you pointed that every single year becomes the hottest year on record makes it even more dangerous and shows that we need to take proper measures.
Exactly. We’re on the same page.
Yeah, it would be good to word it more precisely. Hearing the same phrase every year doesn’t have the impact they think it does. I’m kinda curious as to what would sound better 🤔
This dingus leaves off the source of his list AND the last two years
Better now?
Infinitely so. I thought you were making literally the opposite point before the edit 🤣
You’re not a dingus.
