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.
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.

Why should they care more about the weather
Because this weather directly leads to forest fires, floods and storms that can seriously ruin their life.

"We've survived record-breaking high temperatures before, we'll survive them again"
(based on an actual quote from GB News, a Fox News wannabe)
Sounds like someone doesn't understand the concept of breaking records.

Our media has a lot to answer for

50.5 C is 123 F
41.8 C is 107 Fedit : downvotes, really ? For helping people who are used to another scale??
You're making it worse now the numbers are bigger. Converted into Kelvin and then we'll be okay.

It is just a common thing that it doesn't make interesting news. Same for how many traffic deaths there are.
In that same vein, frearms are now the leading, primary cause of death for children and teens, in the US.
Boomers largely do not believe this, I've argued with several even here on lemmy about this, provided data, studies, they never admit they're wrong.
Absolute explosion of mass shooting events, victims are far more likely to be Gen Z or Gen A.
Again, firearms have killed more children in the US than car crashes, cancer, etc, for several years in a row now.

30p once claimed that coal is a renewable fuel source because it comes from trees.

I always wonder how long they think they will survive after they make it through the apocalypse in their bunkers.
At least through the next quarter or two, which is what matters

Or maybe they're the kind that looks at records as numbers to be beaten

Sure, and apart from maybe bringing a temporary headline from some dramatic act of eco-terrorism, what's the average person's options at their disposal?
Granted, you're posting from a European account (hi from the US where this issue is even worse), but at the civilian level with people who do not have the capital or political influence to interrupt the engine of society, why risk anything by trying? For such marginal effect?
You could collect rain water to mitigate the impact of drought. Pretty much anyone should be able to manage that.

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.
New England North South West seems confusingly named.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Are you implying everyone is dead? Because that isn't the case.
Even if it sucks, that doesn't mean you have to make it suck even more. That is counter productive.
Stop your doomerism and actually DO something. Life is far from being over. Even if it it takes loading everything in a vehicle and moving away. The US is not the center of the Earth.

Listen to the experts, they have plenty of things the average person can do that don't require you to commit terrorism.

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.

Pretty sure they're talking about New South Wales, Australia?
