Once and for all
Just like daddy drops in his drink. … And then he gets maaad.
Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.
which state if you do not mind me asking?
Florida. Can’t talk about climate change.
Aren’t they drowning and insurance companies there aren’t covering flood damage?
What’s the explanation for that?
CLEARLY the intensifying hurricanes and rising water levels are the work of THE WOKE LEFT and their EVIL WEATHER WEAPONS powered by JEWISH MAGIC SPACE LASERS!!!
/s
Florida is falling apart and sinking into the ocean, and it’s their own damn fault. Insurance is no longer covering storms and flooding because both are getting SO common and SO extreme that by the time they’ve finalized payment for one case, the same party has filed 3 more. This is further exasperated by the rampant suburban sprawl Florida is known for, as they bulldozed and developed the coastal flood zones (read: the everglades, the swamps, the coves and inlets, all the little islands and water features that help mitigate storm damage) in order to build more fucking McMansion neighborhoods for retiring Boomers, only for them to get washed away in the next storm. Add on to this an openly Fascist and anti-urban development/public infrastructure (except highways, always more money for highways! Just one more lane bro, we promise!) government, and you get Modern Florida.
Honestly, the best thing that could happen for Florida is if everyone left it, and they ceded it back to the wildlife. We failed, give it up, and move on.
we know its getting badin florida has very little news coming out of it, due to all the trump shaninigans recently. hows the tourism going on there, DISNEY? whos picking your oranges in florida?
remember the california fires, insurance isnt covering houses that people KNOWINGLY built in fire prone areas.
Democrat weather machine.
in RA2, the allies has a weather machine as a superweapon.
Oh, now you’ve done it.
It’s the height of irony that one of the states spearheading the disinfo campaign is the one that will cease to exist first because of it.
Burn it down. Wait, no, that would contribute to climate change
Burn only the ac units. Would solve the problem and be a help in reducing energy emissions.
Yes burning things like plastic and electronics and coolant would totally help the environment. 🙄
Not just coolant, but extremely environmentally hazardous refrigerants.
It’s a shame all the people most likely to go on about Nineteen Eighty-Four (the far right nut jobs), don’t recognise this as Newspeak. And actively support their own oppressors.
What the actual fuck, what state is this?
The measuring station in question is at the Mo i Rana airport, which is at Røssvoll, not Storforshei.
As someone from the village of Røssvoll who’s biggest enemy is Storforshei I am very offended by this misattribution! There’s almost 3 whole km between these two places!
Also tfw the first time my random small area of middle of nowhere Norway is mentioned is when I’m dying from overheating.
Nevermind, I looked into this. It is some unofficial measuring station and not an official station (which the one at Røssvoll is)
I like that when you come back with more accurate information it’s to dunk on the illegitimacy of your rival towns weather station.
Crazy, I’m in the Southern California high desert and it’s been hotter where you are than where I am. That’s not supposed to happen.
Mo I Rana doesn’t exist. It’s a fasade put up to hide the government facilities from people on the train. I only knew one dude from Mo i Rana and he was definitely a robot.
That would explain why the town has so many people employed by the government.
One of my favorite copes in the USA is that all this weather data is faked by Democrats / leftists, so no need to worry about it.
Another popular take is: “China is really filthy, so why should we try to be clean?”
“By the time things go really bad, I’ll be dead, so who cares?”
Basically selfish people being selfish. I’d like to leave the world better than I found it, not worse.
This is why we can’t have anything nice.
that level of selfishness is pathological.
and I mean it, as it literally harms others, so it’s not just a quirky attitude.
Well, when I read your examples, I’m also like: WTF?
But at the same time, I also can’t justify doing more than I’m already doing when companies and billionaires are so wasteful. I do recycle plastics etc, but it is becoming very difficult to justify me having to take this action, when 3M down the river just dumps all possible forever chemicals in our rivers and even have a government issued permit allowing them to do so.
So in short, on some level, I’m also selfish. Let the corporations and billionaires that pollute the most take action. There is very little someone like me can do, and I’m already doing most of the stuff I can. For instance, we have 2 electric cars, solar panels, well insulated home with a heatpump, we recycle as much we can, etc…
Every single metric that was laid out decades ago has not only been reached it has been surpassed. We’re so fucking fucked on an unimaginable scale and it’s honestly terrifying how no one seems to care.
I’m really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don’t care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.
Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you’ve conquered nature, too.
It is the working class vs the 1%, not generation vs generation.
In this circumstance I think it’s both. There is an enormous wealth and income gap between them and us.
I care alot. That’s why I got a vasectomy. Don’t you care your kids? Then dont have them. In the best case scenario, they would lord over wage slaves who would make your kids money. Why would you want that for your kids? And thats the best case…
Of course that means that if humanity does survive you’ve willfully artificially selected the working class to be more submissive and myopic
I’ve been told that AI will fix this
“Just need to melt a few more ice caps and my LLM will have the solution to preventing the ice caps from melting!”
Im excited for the world’s biggest battle royal at the pole. The circle closing in will be a lethal wet bulb temperature.
On the bright side we may uncover more Otzis.
Well stop measuring!
Invest in sharpies!
Can’t we just nuke the heat?
Fighting fire with fire!
Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.
We’re so fucked
I used to ski every year since i was a child, but i took a good 10-12 year break. When i went back in the region i usually went skiing, the glacier was pretty much gone. At least compared to what i remembered. It was quite shocking.
We’re at 20-25, unless you mean see some other lowlands 🤔
Man, those libs are sure working overtime selling their hoax.
What year was this?
Edit: ok the thin red line is peak highs for all recorded years. The blue line is peak lows.
I had deduced that the blue one was historic minimums but I was thinking that the red one was last year temperatures. Thanks for the clarification.
Blue?
It’s a lot harder to tell here since it’s a screen shot but the original post from Xitter the bottom line is blue.
Those who have money to do something about it but aren’t doing anything about it should share the consequences… No Air Conditioner for them…
Norway doesn’t have a lot of air conditioners
Oh, they’re absolutely doing a lot about it. They’re funding climate change denial lobbyists, selling land that’s vulnerable to climate change, and buying land that will improve with it. The working class will be left holding the bag…again
Wikipedia Article about The Organization
Edit: Links
it goes further than that, the oil/gas companies are funding subterfuge groups, basically they funding “protest” that are upright annoying, and deface property, which helps turn the public against them in the name of global warming. additionally they fund movements, like reducing carbon footprint, and people also SUSsed out companies that “how do reduce your carbon usage by buying our enviromentally friendly products”. that way they dont need to reduce thier own emissions.
Truly awful. Like tobacco executive levels of amoral behavior.
I think it ironic that the South europeans have started coming here for “coolcation” only to find it almost as hot as down there.
Yeah, I get the reasoning, but it’s not all about latitude. The Gulf Stream and Polar Front Jet Stream have huge impacts on local climates. Britain would probably have a lot more beaches with cool temperatures if they’re looking for those in an easily accessible country from Europe.
I can only remember one summer with more than a day or two of 30+ degrees c. They are usually right to come here for more comfortable temperatures. We usually want to leave the other way when we have rainy 12 degrees summers.
Huh, another thing I learned on lemmy. Thanks for helping keep this place better than the r-word.
Not all summers are rainy though, but it kind of feels like it. A normal good summer day is mid twenties. I’m from just about where the post is about. Futher south is more consistently nice.
Honestly, I like rain. I lived for a long time in a place that was almost always sunny, with summer temps getting into the high 30s.
That’s hot
