Yes, but they're trying to figure out if that's where we're at or if this is a temporary blip from the Honga Tonga Honga Ha'apai volcano.
Most volcanoes that size would cool the planet by ejecting a bunch of ash and sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere. But the Tonga volcano was underwater, so it threw a metric shitton of water vapor into the upper atmosphere instead, and this has a warming effect. This is part of the reason for the increase in precipitation on the West Coast of the US this year.
Add this volcano on top of the near simultaneous flip into an El Niño pattern, and they're just not sure how permanent the warming we saw this year is going to be. But any way you go about it, this is really not good. We've just experienced dramatic warming from two things that we can't predict and can't control, on top of the part where we're not doing nearly enough about the things we can control.
Select the "available for local pickup" option to weed out all the trash. Even if you're buying to be shipped.
Use Amazon as a search engine, find what you need, then Google the manufacturer and buy it directly from them. You'd be surprised how many have free shipping . It's usually not two day shipping, but what do you really need that fast?
If it's electronics, buy online for local pickup at Best Buy. If it's tools or house supplies, buy online for local pickup at Lowe's or Home Depot. Buy online for local pickup at Target.
I haven't purchased anything from Amazon in 4 years. It's honestly way easier now than it was before Amazon started, but no one realizes that because Amazon got them locked in.

In a more modern iteration, I've been really enjoying The Dead South recently
We need public hospitals back in the United States. There are some things that only make sense being collectively owned
Can confirm. Nursing staff at our hospital just received the date for our union election. January 10! These corporations do not care about our patients. We have to do something to protect them, and unionizing is one form of direct action that we can take.
We're all saying that you're up-playing it. It's not that hard to understand.
Here, let me help you:
Adjacent? I detox an awful lot of people who use opioids on the critical care hospital unit I work. I've had people come in with pneumonia, hypothermia, standard issue bacteremia and endocarditis. The opioid epidemic is definitely health related and a public health crisis.
Ok that one took me a second. Well played
Covid causes myocarditis 7 times more often than the vaccine:
Vaccines don't cause autism. That link was proposed by one single doctor in the UK who was a grifter trying to make money so he made the whole thing up:

Please stop.
What you are seeing in public is a phenomenon of Evangelical Christianity being amplified for political gain. There are religious puritans who genuinely and sincerely believe that the mere exposure to the existence of non-cis hetero people will cause actual cis hetero people to "become sexual deviants."
Which, in their world, it probably looks like that. Oh your perfect totally-and-completely-straight child "suddenly became" gay after learning online that gay people exist? To these ignorant puritans, it really seems like a magic transformation when in reality it's just standard-issue coming out of the closet. They have zero understanding that, if you wouldn't repress people in the first place, this wouldn't happen because there wouldn't be a closet to come out of.
But back in the 90s, they fully lost the crusade against cis gay people. Cis gay people are normalized to the point that my very evangelical aunt now happily accepts her lesbian daughter.
The politicians who used to leverage this bigotry against gay people to drum up votes know this, so they moved on to the new bogeyman of the day: trans people. I see the exact same verbiage used now against trans people that was used against gay people (and especially gay men) in the 90s. "They're really pedophiles, they're a cult that's recruiting and corrupting your children, they'll turn cis people into something they're not, it's not safe for children to be exposed to this ideology."
Those exact same things were said about gay people in the 90s, literally word for word. Even the "trans agenda." In 1992, it was the "gay agenda" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_agenda
This is why I have a patch on my bag that reads "Evil is boring." Because these bigots can't even come up with a new script. It's the same old thing over and over and over, just with new targets.
It's obvious to anyone who isn't completely terrified of sexuality that the existence of trans people is not a threat to anyone anywhere ever. What you're seeing is nothing but bigotry being leveraged for political gain.
