🌍 The planet is heating up — fast.

From India, where cities are already topping 43–44°C (111F), to Australia bracing for near 50°C (122F), to early-season heat waves in the U.S. West, extreme heat is arriving earlier and hitting harder in 2026.

Even oceans are warming, fueling dangerous marine heatwaves and reshaping weather patterns.

This isn’t isolated — it’s global.

A crisis of social reproduction

“We are living in a world that is the most cognitively demanding world that there has ever been...So it is unsurprising that people feel that they are overwhelmed. They can’t focus. They can’t concentrate because that is the world we live in.”

Naming storms and cyclones like humans: 👎
-Who's Gabrielle and what did they do?
-Vaianu? Doesn't mean much to most people.
-People named Katrina face a lifetime of inane jokes, but they did nothing wrong.
-The villains are off the hook.

Naming extreme weather events as the polluters responsible:👍
-"Cyclone Fonterra ruined your home" or "Tropical storm Exxon Mobil 3 devastated the city"
-Memorable, directs public fury to those profiting from the pollution of our planet.
-Corporations hate bad PR, might actually do something about it.
-It's easy and free. We could just do it.

Big Oil war profits: $30m every hour

"$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, analysis finds
Exclusive: Climate action blockers including Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn by end of 2026."

"The world’s top 100 oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran, according to exclusive analysis for the Guardian. Saudi Aramco, Gazprom and ExxonMobil are among the biggest beneficiaries of the bonanza, meaning key opponents of climate action continue to prosper."

"Jess Ralston, the head of energy at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, said: “This oil and gas crisis is illustrating yet again the cost of our dependence on volatile fossil fuels." >>
