If you'd like to read a comprehensive report on how bad things have become — how serious our climate and environmental crises are, and by inference how unsuitable the ruling capitalist system is for dealing with such an existential threat — then take a look at "State of the Global Climate 2023."

The impacts of extreme weather and climate events upended life for millions of people across the world and inflicted billions of dollars in economic losses.
