🥵 it is not in a cute blanket way
Let’s talk about the giant sweaty elephant in the room:
Earth is heating up like it’s prepping for a bake sale.
And unless we want beachfront property in Kansas, it’s time to pay attention.
📈 The Data (aka: It’s Not Just Hot Girl Summer. It’s Hot Planet Century.)
Check out this graph above.
It shows global temperature anomalies from 1980–2023.
Translation: “How much hotter is it now compared to the 20th-century average?”
Back in the 1980s: We were at +0.2°C (about +0.4°F).
By 2023?
We’ve hit +1.18°C — that’s +2.12°F.
Basically, Earth has a fever.
And unlike your toddler, it’s not cute when the planet spikes one.
🔥 But Seriously, What Does This Mean?
A 1.2°C (2.2°F) rise may not sound wild, but here’s what it’s already doing:
- ❄️ Glaciers: Breaking up like a celebrity couple
- 🌪️ Storms: Stronger, weirder, and moodier than ever
- 🔥 Heatwaves: Lasting longer, coming faster, and setting records
- 🦟 Bugs: Moving north and showing up uninvited to BBQs across Canada
Also:
💧 Sea levels? Rising.
🌿 Crops? Struggling.
🔥 Wildfires? Throwing rage parties every summer.
We’re not trending.
We’re toasting.
😅 So… Are We Toast?
Not yet.
But we’re definitely buttered and starting to sizzle on one side.
That’s why cooling gear like Polar Quest jackets matters more than ever.
Sure, we can’t stop climate change with fans,
but while we work, march, and vote for global solutions…
you still need to survive Thursday on a hot roof.
The Earth’s heating up.
You don’t have to.
#StayCoolWhileThePlanetBurns (just a little). JK🔥
