I have endured a Phoenix, Arizona heat at just under 120° F and opening my motel door was like opening an oven to check on something you're baking. Our rental car had to have the AC on for about 3 minutes before sitting in the seats wasn't searingly painful. It took about 5 minute for the steering wheel to be comfortable enough to grip for more than a few seconds.
But it's fine... it's a different kind of heat....

Climate change is here early. Probably because of undeclared or regulated methane release which is a far worse gas as far as trapping heat. Traps waaay more heat than carbon dioxide, and the US, Russia, and China dump huge quantities of it.
Not to mention the pockets of it in the melting ice caps.
Also from all the methane that animals release too

A fire is a dry heat too

Japan recorded the highest ever temperature of 41.2 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, beating the previous high of 41.1 C marked in 2018 and 2020. Authorities are strongly urging people to take precautions to avoid risks of heatstroke.
The mercury hit the above-human temperature of 41.2 C in the city of Tanba, Hyogo Prefecture, at 14:39, while two cities — Fukuchiyama in Kyoto and Nishiwaki in Hyogo — also recorded extremely high temperatures of 40.6 C and 40 C, respectively.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

The city of Phoenix shouldn't exist. It's a monument to American hubris.

Ackshually, combustion releases water vapor. If you have a gas stove, you might have noticed condensation on the side of a pot of water when starting from cold. That's why.

"Take precautions" = Run A/C = Problem gets worse.
We're really here, aren't we. Hope humans get good at terraforming or building tunnels, real fast.Hope humans get good at terraforming or building tunnels, real fast.
...at this point it's looking like the best case scenario is for humans to hurry up and go extinct so the damage can stop and minimize the number of other species we drag down with us.

Hottest temp I've ever been in was over 50. it was painful just walking outside.
Same, I went for a walk just to feel it. It was for about 5 minutes, I was fine, but it was definitely something that could kill you if you were in it for too long.

The real question is, how will we blame this on tourists and other foreigners?

I'm in Florida we call that Tuesday afternoon.
Can’t wait for Florida to lead the way in fashion soon while they continue to vote anti-science and climate change denial

wrote last edited by [email protected]It still won't improve then, though it may get less bad, less quickly. Our climate change crisis is effectively permanent and cumulative.
Edit: with a roughly 20 year delay between emissions and warming. (Before tipping points)

Ackshually hot air has a higher vapor capacity, therefore the fire is a dry heat, and only away from the fire does it become moist.

We're really here, aren't we. Hope humans get good at terraforming or building tunnels, real fast.From 2016 to 2022, 80 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions were produced by just 57 companies.
Emitted 3.2% of total greenhouse gas emissions when refrigerants are included.
A/C is a negligible amount of the problem and in these type of weather is a necessity, lest vulnerable people like seniors die from heat stroke. You could 10x AC usage and it still wouldn't even match what corpos emit. We have way bigger issues than more AC use.

One thing doesn't negate the other.
I'm honestly shocked that it's already at 3+% Think about how it changes in the future when it further warms. Also, it has local effects, of further firing the situation, i.e.it get's measurably warmer in cities. Take Phoenix for example, in the future, there may be times, if you don't have an extremely well working respiratory system, that you'll die outside because of heat stress...

When they say "This is a PEN!" the plosive sounds they use are so aggressive that it heats up the air around them. Honorable nippongo doesn't contain such violent sounds, so clearly this heat is due to the gaiks.

I usually downvote the repetitive slogans around here, but this one certainly bears repeating. One little CEO gets shot, everyone loses their MINDS!
