The Guardian's Visual Timeline of The Hottest 3 Months in Human History (hint: it was this year) [1]

Go look at the article. It’s at www.theguardian.com/… The sheer number and variety of events is a great reminder of the scope and immediacy of the problem. The introductory 2 paragraphs of text sum it up nicely:

As the world sweltered through the hottest three month spell in human history this summer, extreme weather disasters took more than 18,000 lives, drove at least 150,000 people from their homes, affected hundreds of millions of others and caused billions of dollars of damage. That is a conservative tally from the most widely covered disasters between early June and early September, which have been compiled in the timeline below as a reminder of how tough this period has been and what might lie ahead.

When reading about biosphere disasters, it’s easy for the numbers to make your eyes glaze over. Images, though, are more immediately comprehensible for most people and a lot harder to dismiss. That we’ve forgotten some of these massive events already speaks to the frequency of disasters we’re experiencing now. Go take a look. See how many of these 38 events you remember. www.theguardian.com/...

Then take action, at any level, of any size you can. Every action matters now.
