Yay?
The heat index is 119 degrees where I’m at in Texas right now. That’s enough to be lethal for many people.
Damn, that’s hot. What’s the actual temp and humidity? We got some days like that (105-110 with high humidity) here in central Europe and a bunch of people did die from it this summer.
Climate change is nothing but alarmism, guys. Just some conspiracy to keep us all “in check”.
Oh that? Oh I remember when we had that in the 80s. Nothing new. Nothing new at all.
Reported, this is mildly interesting not interesting ‘as fuck’
I’m sorry the difficult living conditions at your place makes this mild to your eyes. For Europeans it is shocking, we have our people suffering because we do not have the thermal infrastructure to resist this, powerplants stopping due to lack of cooling, river fret stopping causing logistics troubles, agriculture disasters and a peak of people dying. So such a clear, simple and visial depiction of the phenomenon is very interesting to see and connect to all the troubles we are having now.
IDK what pissed in that dude’s Cheerios this morning. Maybe it’s a bit more mildly interesting than interesting af, but either way I don’t think it’s worth starting a big argument about it.
I’m glad you posted this.
It’s not this morning. I already had this dude tagged as an asshole. He’s just like this.
Used so much water this year to keep plants alive, and moving to increasingly growing stuff that is drought resistant.
Probably going to get extreme rain next and everything I have will die from that. Then another drought once it has all died.
Some of us actually do find the demonstrably ways the world is changing in front of us due to what is likely a Super El Nino ‘interesting as fuck’
El Niño doesn’t really impact Europe, it’s a Pacific Ocean phenomenon. The global heating and destabilizing trends are just the highly predictable impact of generations of rampant air pollution.
It impacts globally. Europe will possibly see a milder wetter shorter autumn.
Potentially historic El Niño to come, analysis shows humanitarian toll
It is expected that in the coming months the El Niño climate phenomenon will occur and will worsen drought, flood, heat, and storm conditions across many regions of the world
you think the grass turning brown during an unusually warm summer with multiple heatwaves to be considered interesting as fuck?
don’t come to australie, you will have your mind blown every year
having spent my life in the American West and now being in Europe I’m very aware of deserts and droughts. having toured and studied the dams, canals, and infrastructure for water in the west I also know how tenuous urban human life is when imposed on environments which over leverage aquifers, rivers, and agriculture to sustain people living in delicate ecosystems.
bitch about Australia turning brown every year is fair, as it has for an epoch or more. France hasn’t. The AMOC, jetstream, and geography have given it an incredible angriculture belt which predates the industrial revolution and more.
environments are fascinating, systemically. The earth is the only one we have, and I like to understand it.
Maybe don’t compare regions that did not have multiple severe heat waves every summer until only a few years ago with Australia.
why not? that’s the point of this post
holy shit grass brown! you guys are like toddlers
Obvious troll is obvious.
apparently not, woke up to 8 people trying to argue with me
reports Lemmy post for not being interesting enough
unable to consider any rammifications or understand the world outside of personal perspective or band of experience
calls the other people toddlers
Who pissed in your morning coffee?
Why are the aussiezone fucks always massive douches?
because you autistic americans are so easy to trigger
Not autistic and not american. Try again cunt.
I’m fairly certain you’re embarrassing your fellow Aussies who aren’t flaring sphincters at this point.
Because that’s where we sent the wronguns after we couldn’t send them to America any more.
lmao your loss (in both situations), both are richer than you and have nicer weather
So, when do we drop a giant ice cube in the ocean?
About that…
a comet perhaps like the old days.
We’ve already got giant ice cubes in the ocean, but they’re melting!
We just need to get some more ice on a nearby comet or something, thus solving the problem once and for all.
But
ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
We just gotta have the comet cover the sun for a little bit
Oh shit
deniers will be like “it is two more days into august that is why”
So I’m from northern Italy and I remember travelling to southern years for the first time over 20 years ago and noticing how dry and yellow everything looked in the summer, which was unusual for someone used to green vegetation even at the peak of August.
Guess what it looks like this year here in the North? “Summer’s always been hot, you were just younger” my ass.
We also have a drough of spell checkers.
who the fuck cares
If you don’t care when you’re writing it, why should I care reading it?
I know, right? Freaking nerds…
I only come here to get mad, nit to learn word stuff 👋🙂
I think you mean getmad.
france you can make omlettes and baguettes out in the sun now.
I traveled through France via train and this is way WAY scarier when you go through. This aerial view is still abstract, actually seeing it, kilometer and kilometer through the entire country is deeply unsettling. This is the new normal and it is catastrophic.
I live close to the french border and while it’s really bad here - our forests already switched to autumn mode due to heat stress and dryness - it’s much, much worse once you drive around an hour west.
unsettling is an understatement. I get the feeling people are avoiding the topic - not denying - but avoiding it, so they don’t have switch into full panic mode.
I’m in Bavaria and even the dandelions have given up by now. An article said that there’s an extreme drought were ground is completely dried out over 2 maters deep.
What’s that supposed to tell me?
Mater is the character’s name. I believe they were just being silly.
Don’t worry everyone, the next set of world leaders will take swift action on climate and fix it, just wait. We can’t do it now, the numbers are up.
If there’s a government left that is…
Don’t sorry people. Gerhard on <insert any "social media platform> said, it has always been warm in summer.
It even goes up all the way to Britain, and all the way east as far as the map reaches.
France has gone too far
we need to stop this dynamite guy
While it’s focused on France. It also shows how bad it is in the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain. Spain is a bit more prepared for conditions like this, but the rest (Inc France) really aren’t. The consequences of this potentially becoming the new normal are alarming, to say the least.
potentially becoming
Not only potentially, it is going to become the new normal. At least for a while, as who knows how it will be, when AMOC really gets going.
Europe’s climate isn’t dominated by 1 or 2 core effects. It’s a balance of multiple competing ones. Climate change is affecting a lot of those, at the same time. It’s hard to predict which way things will tip. E.g. if the golf stream fails, then we could get FAR colder winters.
Some of the new potential balances are more unpleasant/annoying, others are more deadly.
Unfortunately, we will see how it plays out over the next few decades. Short enough that us and our children will take the brunt of it. But long enough that a lot of leaders won’t care yet, they won’t live to see it.
