Japan reveals new name for 40C-and-hotter days after blistering summer

The term - kokushobi - translates to "cruelly hot", "brutally hot" or "severely hot", and comes after Japan's hottest summer on record.

Perhaps those "skeptics", like the "climate skeptics" we have also endured over 20 years, weren't actually "skeptical" at all. They were just fossil fuel industry talking heads and plants, paid or brain washed or both to ensure Fossil Fuels were never without a cheerleader.

The planet has just experienced the most widespread coral bleaching event ever recorded, lasting 33 months into 2025. Scientists warn that at 1.5C of global warming, up to 90% of coral reefs could be lost. Ninety per cent. And 1.5C is not lingering in the distance – it’s extremely close.
