The hottest day ever recorded on our planet

Did you know? 😱 Yesterday was the hottest day ever recorded on our planet +17.01°C. Heatwaves scorch the US, China, Northern Africa, and even Antarctica.

            It’s sad to note a ''death sentence'' for people and ecosystems is already here with us, I wish world governments can act collectively and ban fossil fuels, which is the biggest contributor of this changes, and turn to renewable energies... But my fear and of many, probability of governments failing their peoples is high!

              Crazy that this is happening, unfortunately a lot of people still see it as isolated events. We need more system thinking in our media reports.
