If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason.
If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half.

Did you read my other comment?
The graph shows total, cumulative emissions *since 1750*. That is why it starts at zero in 1750.
Yes, some fossil-based CO2 has been emitted before 1750.
That is why the graph takes 1750 as a starting point.
It *starts* counting from 1750 onwards.
So if you add up all CO2 emitted from 1750 until now you get a certain amount of CO2.
And then a certain percentage of that total is emitted in your life time.
That is what the graph shows.

Leader of the Israeli opposition Democrats Party, Yair Golan criticised on Monday the slogan of “absolute victory” used by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and described it as a “lie”.
Golan, a former deputy chief of staff of the Israeli army, told a press conference at the Knesset that Netanyahu’s “absolute victory” claim “carries no real military or political meaning. This is not a strategy, but propaganda”.

The Indonesian government has suspended nickel mining in the Raja Ampat archipelago following public outcry and investigations that revealed environmental violations, including illegal mining on small islands and deforestation by several companies.
Raja Ampat, one of the world’s most biodiverse marine regions, is threatened by sedimentation, pollution and habitat destruction linked to mining, endangering coral reefs, mangroves and Indigenous communities.

If #USA are going to deport undocumented immigrants, at least do it properly.
Illegal immigration began in 1492.
Let's agree on that and then let's see who really has the right to stay in their ancestral lands
"the real intent of the administration’s actions. It’s picking a fight, both with the state of #California, as well as with federal #law itself, which explicitly forbids what’s being done here [deploying US troops on US soil against US citizens]. And it’s hoping an additional show of force will provoke a response from protesters it can then use to justify each progressive step towards martial law."

How’s your Monday going? Well, buckle up. The day ain’t over yet.
No sooner had California Governor Gavin Newsom announced the state would be suing Trump over his illegal deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles to do whatever it is they’re supposed to do when deployed illegally than the Defense Department turned Pete Hegeth’s tweeted threat into reality.

The Trump administration is mobilizing 700 Marines based out of Twentynine Palms, Calif., for Los Angeles, the scene of protests against immigration enforcement operations, a defense official confirmed with NPR before it was publicly announced.
U.S. Northern Command said in a statement on Monday that the infantry battalion had been put on “alert status” over the weekend and will be working with the National Guard “who are protecting federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area.”

If the National Guard deployment was mostly illegal, this one appears to be completely illegal. The statement from the military doesn’t make anything any clearer. It does, however, suggest the ongoing clusterfuck that is the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops will only get more clustered/fucked.](https://social.trom.tf/photo/preview/640/27859292 "Headline and text from article:

From California governor Gavin Newsom:
“Let’s get this straight:
1) Local law enforcement didn’t need help.
2) Trump sent troops anyway — to manufacture chaos and violence.
3) Trump succeeded.
4) Now things are destabilized and we need to send in more law enforcement just to clean up Trump’s mess.”

"ICE went looking for trouble — and when they didn’t find any, they started some.
None of this was necessary.
