Ground temperatures across great swathes of the ice sheets of Antarctica have soared an average of 10C above normal over the past month, in what has been described as a near record heatwave.
While temperatures remain below zero on the polar land mass, which is shrouded in darkness at this time of year, the depths of southern hemisphere winter, temperatures have reportedly reached 28C above expectations on some days.
The globe has experienced 12 months of record warmth, with temperatures consistently exceeding the 1.5C rise above preindustrial levels that has been touted as the limit to avoiding the worst of climate breakdown.

The irony is, the drivers bring the delay upon themselves by opposing building bike lanes, which are really car infrastructure, not bike infrastructure. Their purpose is to get cyclists out of the way, because the situation you describe is the alternative!
I bought right before the bubble burst in 2006. I’d love to move. We were behind on value for so many years. Also wages haven’t kept up with inflation. And now we added two kids. When I can move, I will.
