> help but feel like recent high temperatures are getting vastly oversimplified

I could see this if it was just a regular person that you know weighing in on climate change and temperatures, but there seems to be a pretty overwhelming global concensus of experts for maybe 50 years saying this. I'm sure timelines are wrong, studies are sometimes wrong, but I'm going to put my faith in the experts that recent high temperatures are the result of humans.

I'm also going to place a bet that this is only going to rise and get worse as we're offloading our own internal energy and capabilities to things like robots and AI, everything using extra energy to connect to the internet, non-replacable batteries, locked devices, fast fashion, and junk stores like Temu and Amazon.

I can buy a speaker from 1970 and it works. I won't be able to buy a speaker from 2020 and have it work 50 years from now. New tech has much better qualities than old tech but the tradeoff is comsumption increases as nothing is repairable.
