We are somehow still not panicking and see that as a point of no return for climate change. These temperatures are still the lowest ones we will experience from now on.

Hopefully, some ignorant people or even climate change deniers will switch their positions and actually support green policies now.

For deniers, it getting hotter will never work. There’s an argument about the world being in a long cycle between hot eras & ice ages and temperature records don’t mean much when accurate records only go back one or two hundred years.
