Indeed, its likely the number did peak around the equator, when the temperature was lower, it all stands to reason.

But what it should be telling you is that the temperature has been rising since before fossil fuels, and this is down to our activity also, just fossil fuels accelerated it.

As said in other responses to you, the temperature rise is as a result of business being done for profit.

It isn't about greenhouse gases.

It stops, actually reverses, once we move to solar, by monetising solar, instead of monetising energy extracted from the planet, becaue this does the opposite of what using the energy of the planet does, it creates.

This all stacks up, even numerically, from whichever angle anyone wishes to look at it, its undeniable, profit is the culprit that we need to kill, and it is a live beast, an emergent property, a learned behaviour that came about by the masses being artificially traumatised (Traumatised by something other than the environment), its a completely unnatural behaviour, anti-life, profit itself is anti-life, anti-creation, we are the only species of living thing that does this to itself and its environment, destroys it, systematically, other than maybe cancer or something like that, we definitely are not behaving as we did for hundreds of thousands of years before setting up the first system of energy slavery, which has persisted, and is still with us.

Does anyone have the choice to remove themselves from it?
