Aren't they drowning and insurance companies there aren't covering flood damage?
What's the explanation for that?
The explanation is that conservative boomers are very, very well versed in gaslighting, enforcing reality denial on others, to keep themselves from ever having to entertain the the idea that they were ever wrong about anything, ever.
... and if they were wrong, it wasn't a big deal, and if it was a big deal, then you deserved it, and if you didn't deserve it, then it doesn't matter in the long run because in the long run we are all dead, etc, ad infinitum.

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.
Don't forget their 'solution' to this is to uh, checks notes, abolish property taxes... and replace the lost revenue with increased sales taxes.
In a state massively reliant on tourism.
I concur, Florida is completely a lost cause, the best thing to do would indeed be to just let nature reclaim it, the humans that live there largely won't in 10 to 20 years,.no matter what is done, at this point.

We're at 20-25, unless you mean see some other lowlands
Zurich for example
Maybe lowlands isn’t the best word but it’s not high up in the alps

12 consecutive days is definitely less than a month, yes

As a geologist I think the deep time context makes this pretty interesting. Florida is a shallow limestone platform that was built underwater. It's only been above ground for the past few million years because recently our planet has had a lot of polar ice cover. Its position above sea level is just as anomalous as the insane developmental practices of the boomers. So it's fitting that they both go down together now, although it's unfortunate for all of the people who suffer needlessly because of their arrogance.
I hope successive generations will learn to live in harmony with nature and accept that their actions have consequences outside of their tiny worldview.

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.
Humans are remarkably good at not caring about something until it affects them personally at which point it's too late to do anything about it

the part of scandinavia north of the arctic circle can get crazy hot in the summer, because the sun doesn't set. i think norway has a cooler climate than sweden overall due to the scandes, but when i lived up there my 60s concrete apartment building started heating up so much due to the midnight sun that inside temps didn't go below 29 degrees for like half of august. the walls were literally radiating heat.
This would be great to exploit for some kind of reservoir-based heating and cooling system.

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.

we do have those for district heating, but they're usually composed of water. the finns are experimenting with sand too. thing is, +/- 30 degrees isn't much to work with. all the heat battery systems i've seen that work are running in the hundreds of degrees. well, except the water ones of course, but even those run close to boiling point.

Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.
We’re so fucked

Yeah, but skatteetaten is just a plausible cover for what they're actually doing there. All the skatteetaten jobs have been automated for years.
I agree, especially considering how much the government is hollowing out a mountain for Nasjonalbiblioteket. There's no way you'd need that much space just for storing some books.

What year was this?
Edit: ok the thin red line is peak highs for all recorded years. The blue line is peak lows.
The red isn't peak high for all years. According to the legend in the upper left, the red line is the high temperature for those days in 2025. The other lines peaking up around it are past years.

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?
The orange trees are dying from fungus anyway. Monoculture and climate change were gonna kill OJ at some point anyway. That’s why it’s coming in smaller plastic bottles for higher prices already. Right? It’s not just naked profiteering, right?

So you guys keep running the internationally banned refrigerants that destroy the ozone layer, instead of using safer ones?
You know what America stands for, right?

All the other lines are past years, and the dotted one in the middle that says "average" means the average of all the lines. So, isn't a regular ocorrence.
Is there something on there that I missed which says what the other lines are?

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...

It is the working class vs the 1%, not generation vs generation.
