Oct 14, 2014
September 2014 was the warmest September since records began in 1880, new data from NASA shows.
May and August were also record-breaking warm months, according to NASA.
Further, the last six months were the warmest such time period on record.
The current trends could put 2014 on track to be the warmest year on record.
NASA and the NOAA's National Climatic Data Center have noted that 9 of the 10 warmest years have happened since 2000.
Last month, just ahead of the historic People's Climate March, the World Meteorological Organization stated that atmospheric levels of CO2 are at record levels and reiterated that "we are running out of time" to act on the climate crisis.
An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
