Denialism is part and parcel of human nature, whether it is due to ideological conviction or personal grievance. Yet, there are certain undeniable realities that cannot be ignored, as they exist not theoretically but in actuality, and global warming is one fact that cannot be denied.
Temperatures around the world are reaching record highs. This phenomenon is not unique to any city, region, country, or continent; it is a global occurrence. From intense heatwaves in the eastern U.S. to scorching temperatures in Southern Europe, the tragic loss of over 1000 pilgrims in Mecca, power outages across India, and unprecedented temperatures in Hong Kong, the reality of climate change is undeniable. Its impacts are palpable and cannot at any cost be ignored or ridiculed.
