Twenty years ago, the USA government believed this was simply a 15 to 20 year PHASE for Earth.

...2010–2019 (click here) was the warmest decade since records have been kept of the Earth’s temperature, beginning in 1979. Over the past five years, the Earth’s temperature has been between 1.1°C and 1.2°C above preindustrial levels....

Ten years of record setting global temperatures is not a trend that will end, but, a profound reality of the climate crisis on Earth.

Europe witnessed its warmest year ever recorded in 2019, while the rest of the world experienced its second-warmest year on record, marginally behind 2016’s unprecedented conditions, according to the European Union’s Climate Change Service.

2019 was the fifth year in a series of “exceptionally warm years,” scientists found. The most pronounced warming was measured in Alaska and across parts of the Arctic. ...

I and many others never believed Earth was simply going to straighten out in 20 years of some silly cycle. There was and is absolutely no historic record of a 20 year cycle. It was a politically propagandized position and I suppose it saved many jobs. The one person inside the government that never stated such totally wrong rhetoric, James Hanson (click here).

...Hansen (click here) provided what’s considered the first warning to a mass audience about global warming when, in 1988, he told a US congressional hearing he could declare “with 99% confidence” that a recent sharp rise in temperatures was a result of human activity....

Thirty long years in carrying forward the climate crisis message and it was all ignored. Why? Because of Big Oil. They paid the bills for a corruptible Congress. Is there any reason those that ignored all these years of warnings, scientific evidence and professional articles and white papers, should be re-elected to continue the same corrupt priorities?

2019 saw a tipping point by losing it's carbon sinks, the reefs, the forests and any moisture in the land. Is there any wonder as to why fire tornadoes reached as high as three miles into the troposphere?
