…The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) says
“The Earth’s climate is more out of balance than at any time in observed history”.
What a weird choice of words. It’s not “out of balance” any more than it has been in its wildly variable history.
It’s becoming inhospitable to *us* because of *us*.
Get some better writers

Geneva, Switzerland (WMO) – The Earth’s climate is more out of balance than at any time in observed history, as greenhouse gas concentrations drive continued warming of the atmosphere and ocean and melting of ice, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These rapid and large-scale changes have occurred within a few decades but will have harmful repercussions for hundreds – and potentially thousands – of years.
You know that thing when a car driver kills someone but the headline seems to imply that the car just did it of its own volition.
Well, António Guterres is doing something similar when he says “Planet Earth is being pushed beyond its limits”.
No it’s not. What a ridiculously inept thing to say.
*We* are pushing Earth’s climate beyond *our* evolved limits

State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat
"“Historically, every US‑driven energy shock has been followed by a surge in new drilling, new LNG terminals and new fossil‑fuel infrastructure. This war risks hard‑wiring another generation of carbon dependence.
“This is not a war for security. It’s a war for the political economy of fossil fuels – and the people paying the price are Iranian civilians and working‑class communities around the world.”"

…and of course the majority of that waste is the one-time use of non-renewable fossil fuels in the form of plastic.
Plastic which is toxifying our food, our water and us.
And now fertility is declining, and a whole slew of other health risks are correlated.
Plastic *is* fossil hydrocarbons. Perhaps we might see more clearly that fossil fuels are killing us as we struggle to procreate
