Turkey sets new record of 50.5 degrees as Europe swelters
-
Turkey's Environment Ministry said meteorologists had registered a reading of 50.5 degrees Celsius (122.9 degrees Fahrenheit) in the southeast of the country, setting a nationwide record.
The record temperature was registered on Friday at Silopi, the ministry said in a post on X on Saturday.
Silopi is 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Turkey's borders with Iraq and Syria.
The previous heat record, registered in August 2023, was 49.5 degrees Celsius.
That global warming huh?

Winter is not coming
If the golf stream shuts down, it will be coming back hard.

Mosquitos are worse at my camp in the swamp. The tiny ponds dried up, killed the dragonfly larva, no dragonflies this year. Leaving in a bit to lay traps.

Are you currently detained at Alligator Alcatraz?

50.5 degrees sounds pleasantly chilly

Europeans, still: Why would I waste money on air conditioning?

I rode in an Uber once where the driver was a conspiracy theorist. He said that global warming was made up by the liberal elite to make people gay. And then without taking a breath, talked about how every summer seems to get warmer than the year before.
This made my roll my eyes so hard, I am now looking at my frontal lobe.

Holy shiscabob! That's OSHA's touch safe temp limit!

Winter is dying. It used to get very cold, now it gets mildly cold. I think in another decade or two there will be no more winters.

If I could bet $100 million with x99 margin leverage that next year will be hotter, I'd be rich like a oil execitive; but I'm not an oil exec to have $100M in their bank.. lol who would benefit more if the world boiled to noninhabitability oh... shit.. you don't say

You know that the warmer countries usually have ways to deal with it, including many having AC, right? Talking about "Europeans" collectively doesn't make sense. Why would I waste money and resources on AC in Sweden or the UK to deal with our two weeks of warm weather? Our homes are instead built to deal with cold conditions.

95% of the world's population uses Celsius, by the way.

Yeah using even more energy will surely fix the climate crisis.
-

Nooo no no... We just have been breaking the global heat record for every year for over a decade stright almost proportionally to how much greenhouse gases the fossil-fuel industries put out in the atomsphere and only ever since they started doing it.

Couldn't be, some places still get snow.

The amount of energy used by increasing AC usage is diminutive compared to things like, IDK, AI data centers that require an entirely new, dedicated power plant to run. Prioritize the big assholes first, before you insist that the little guys should be the ones to suffer.

(can't fix the link)
Jeebus. That's fucking wild.
This summer has been like summers when I was a kid. I'm a few hundred miles north of where I was.
(Neighbors look at us like we're crazy when working outside in the mid 90s, humidity is only like 60-70%.) Heat tolerance is a superpower, apparently.

One does not exclude the other.

Yes and the southern countries also know how to build houses that don't turn into ovens in the heat, thick walls, etc.
