Sitting here and it's March 6th and I hear the spring birds outside and it's been raining. Now the months are even getting bumped up.
It was spring in mid February here. Also a few roses were still in bloom at the end of OCTOBER
where I live this year it snowed on Halloween and also yesterday
Robins and red-winged blackbirds have been back in my neighborhood for a couple weeks, and we're hearing spring peepers every night. If it keeps this up, we will have a very early morel season.
Jesus that's not good.
Luckily the rate at which things worsen will never change and everything is very predictable and the experts are in charge.
In this house we believe in Science
Good news: We've removed February
Bad news: We've replaced it with Mega-August
The months/seasons in Rimworld are Aprimay, Jugust, Septober & Decembary and for whatever reason this has always tickled me.
lousy maugust weather…
I wonder if the release of more Methane than any event in recorded history between September and November of 2022 had any connection to this.
Probably not. Similar to the way that it takes a minute to warm up after you put on a blanket, there's a multiyear lag on the order of 10-20 years between emissions and warming impact.
Methane only stays in the air for about 12 years, but it absorbs more energy than carbon emissions, so it's impact would be seen quicker, wouldn't it?
NATOPEDIA:
Andrew Baxter, director of energy strategy for the Environmental Defense Fund, said he estimated that about 115,000 tonnes (250 million pounds) of methane had been released into the environment. To date, this may be the largest gas leak in human history. According to German estimates, about 300,000 tonnes (660 million pounds) of methane, which is one of the most potent greenhouse gases (more potent than CO2), was emitted into the atmosphere. This amount of gas is enough to affect the environment for another 20 years, with an annual gas emission capacity of 5.48 million combustion-engined cars.
Certainly a disaster but a pretty small contribution in the grand scheme of things.
It very well might but I can't find any global concentration data that recent.
Can't we just add ice cubes?
Thus solving the problem, once and for all
ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
It's fine, we're going to do carbon credits (which have been scientifically proven to not work) and try for net-zero by 2050 (two decades too late). 
Gonna invest in a tree farm to grab up some carbon credits, and when it burns down in an inferno I can collect insurance.
As someone with heart issues who faints from heat: 
Well the fun thing about this is the temperature of the north Atlantic influences the rate of melting of the Greenland ice sheet, and scientists are predicting that if the ice sheet collapses, that'll blow the AMOC, and if the AMOC goes, the mean temp in Europe drops 17 C. Winter in Western Europe would start looking like winter in Scandinavia.
Nice. Maybe I'll live, unless I die soon.
Hope you prosper despite the times, comrade.
yeah amoc collapse will make frostpunk happen in the uk thank god
So, you're saying global warming isn't real?
What's happening right now is that the AMOC helps balance out heat between the high latitudes and the tropics, so if it stops, that heat just gets stuck at the equator. Which is bad for a lot of people in a lot of ways. Mexico City dries up, the Amazon flips to savanna, monster hurricanes for the gulf and Atlantic coasts. General meteorological chaos and anarchy.
Global warming, European cooling
Not good.
life on earth shouldn't have voted for jill stein in wisconsin in 2016
I wonder if all the bombs, mortars, and tanks that have come in to use in the previous year have anything to do with it? :(
The U.S. military alone creates emissions on par with Sweden.
It will in a couple decades
It's a good thing the revolutionary French calendar never caught on or we'd have to start renaming the months
Don't worry, I've been investing money into ESG funds. It gives money to...uh...shell companies owned by oil companies

Literally praying for one of those now
Send up the fucking sulfur balloons i don't give a fuck can't be worse than doing nothing
Hello i am 22 and i am an immigrant from a former socialist country in eastern europe, you see capitalism is good because now i can drive a leased bmw and it has no downsides whatsoever
Every day I pray for heart failure.
Concerning; looking into it
We're literally cooked
Earth is cookin'
Come on atlantic! You can do better than that. I want to be able to surf without a wetsuit in rhode island in december!
