When will the Climate Change deniers be silenced? April 2019: Earth's 2nd Warmest April on Record

<snip>
April 2019 was the planet's second warmest April since record keeping began in 1880, said NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) on Monday. NASA also rated April 2019 as the second warmest April on record, behind 2016. Minor differences in rankings between NASA and NOAA can arise because of how they handle data-sparse regions such as the Arctic, where few surface weather stations exist. April 2019 was tied for having the 11th highest monthly temperature departure from average for any month in the NOAA record, and was the 12th warmest month in the NASA record (out of 1672 months). The top twelve hottest months on record have all occurred since 2015.

Global ocean temperatures during April 2019 were the second warmest on record, according to NOAA, and global land temperatures were the third warmest on record. The January through April year-to-date period was the third warmest on record. Global satellite-measured temperatures in April 2019 for the lowest 8 km of the atmosphere were the third warmest in the 41-year record, according to the University of Alabama Huntsville (UAH) and RSS.

who are in their deep pockets.

I am firmly in belief that the ultra-wealthy, who are destroying Earth, simply do not care because they will be dead long before they successfully destroy life and the planet. Killing a planet and all that lives on it doesn't matter to you if you are already dead. Oh and it really helps when you die filthy fucking rich before Earth and her inhabitants die.
