We better build a wall, summer is coming. We can staff it with convicts and keep all the illegals out who were unfortunate enough to buy land in the wrong states.

It's been unusually wet and cold in New England NSW. (edit: New South Wales, Australia) Seems to make some sense with extra heat meaning extra water in the air, meaning more water to fall out of the air when it hits the 1.4km high great dividing range.
It seems China also copping extra water.
Changing air currents and AMOC / SMOC also causing some interesting changes in weather distribution.

Okay but why the r-slur
Eh, at this point can we just agree that word doesn't apply to people with actual disabilities? It hasn't been used as such for decades. Maybe we just agree to only use it to refer to morons, the same way "moron" was once a medical term.

Ha, I'm in N.E., and I don't understand it.
There's also a New England region in Australia. NSW is New South Wales.

But why? Some people are still hurt by it's usage, we have other words.

"yeah but if humans didn't cause it, it's not our fault so we don't have to do anything. it's natural"

I would suggest mining asteroids, using the material to craft thin foil mirrors with 3 axis gyroscopes then positioning them at L1 Lagrange in order to selectively reduce incoming solar radiation to a safe, custom level, but obviously our ruling psychopaths will simply use it to block light to countries that don't pay up, and to focus it on countries to burn away undesirables.
And of course then we'll all have to pay a sunlight bill.

Meanwhile, OPEC and one of the most dangerous countries in the world: "Drill, baby, drill! Burn, baby, burn!"
trump is bought by the fossil fuel industry. it doesn't make sense for the US to not import solar panels. cheap energy drives manufacturing, and solar is cheap.

Maybe this is just my media bubble, and I’m not saying I haven’t seen any articles about it, but I feel like remarkably little attention overall is being given to how many fucking people are dying in these heat disasters. Not just this one, but over and over.
Yes, but they're poor and brown and far away, so who cares, right?
-
It's not that I don't pay attention or try to conserve energy, but I'm so powerless to affect real change. It kills me to be raising children in this world.
Try out meat free Mondays.
They'll stop factory farming so much if less people buy meat.

yeah, higher temperature makes everything more wet in general. consider the tropical areas near the equator, they're the wettest regions on earth.

I live in SW france, +40°C today, 3 months with barely a drop of rain. It's pretty obvious this region is going to look like Extremadura in a decade or 3.

Nah, they'll just start a new anti-vegan anti-vegetarian campaign and everyone will eat it up.

No its not just you.
Climate coverage drastically diminished roughly during Covid, never came back, despite us blowing through the 1.5C limit 2 years ago now, insurance companies in the US more or less abandoning roughly the southern third of the US due to their own climate models, despite the AMOC destabilizing, despite us recently realizing the SMOC has actually been destabalized for a decade and is actively deteriorating.
Yes, there is clearly an active push to just ignore it, it's been driving me insane.

It's simple: there aren't any "big solar" companies that could pay trump or most politicians more than big oil (chevron, bp, shell, exxon) companies do.

Okay but you can control your own actions. Don't you want to be better than all the sheeple? Or do you want to be bad because they're just as bad?

And water vapour acts as a greenhouse gas, so there's one of many catastrophic feedback loops

I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but I'm tired of being reminded of this ten times over when I feel the most powerless to stop it than I've ever felt in my life. Now more than ever, all I see is a neighboring government undoing the little progress that we've made in the past decades I've spent worrying. I no longer see the way out like I used to. This only makes me feel miserable.

I heard Cartman say it's ok to use it now and he is my moral compass.

30p once claimed that coal is a renewable fuel source because it comes from trees.
The carboniferous period would be rolling in its grave if we hadn't dug it up.
