Nothing Special
It was a day like any other day. Nothing special. I went to see a show in the evening. It was a warm November night so I took off my jacket but didn’t think much of it – we’re used to this by now. On my way home a few hours later, with sounds of crackling glaciers from the performance still resonating in my ears, it was still too warm for the jacket. I only found out about a week later: November 17, 2023 was the first day in which the global temperature exceeded 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Here we are.
