For the fourth day in a row, Earth has broken or equalled its hottest average temperature record - Lemmy.world

The planet’s average temperature hit 17.23 degrees Celsius on Thursday, surpassing the 17.18C record set on Tuesday and equalled on Wednesday.

Maybe I’ve consumed too much sci-fi I’ve the years. I’ve always thought the primary goal should be that of making this species a space fairing one. Secondary, they to extend the life of this planet as much as possible. It will die one day, that’s unavoidable.

At the present, it looks like neither are being achieved. It’s all just going to collapse on itself. Maybe the human population 2.0 can resurface and try again after the planet kills almost everyone.

I feel sorry for the younger generation and my peers with children.

I’ve always thought the primary goal should be that of making this species a space fairing one.

What? Why??

Because ultimately if we don’t leave this rock we go extinct. Guaranteed.
I dunno, man. A species using up all the resources available in its isolated home, only to develop the ability to use those stolen resources to go to other nearby bodies and use up their resources as well… Makes me think of a virus. If that’s how our species survives, I’d rather we didn’t.
Isn’t that just Christianity?
