Maybe an island will blowup somewhere and we will have another mini ice age. What's Krakatoa up to these days?

Could we induce one blowing up with some sticks? (Of dynamite?)
i get ya... like a war or something..
Funny you mention that, the nuclear energy industry is two steps ahead of you, one of those steps being paying off the administration in the US to kneecap regulators of nuclear energy.
On the bright side, if the AMOC shuts down, which early indications seem to say it might be, you'll also have way colder winters in Europe to balance things out. I guess that should also get the eastern seaboard of the US hotter as well? So fun for everyone!
It was so funny when the latest "Amoc might shut down" articles came out and my country's news outlest had a vey panicky contest on who can find most scientist to claim that "all is okay and it will never ever shut down!!" All is fine, just continue your consumings. Buy that new car, go on that vacation, you deserve it buddy! Let's spend money!
It has been where I'm at, we are getting our first real hot weather of the summer just now, approaching 90 degrees. It was highs in the 60s for over a week, after the coldest winter in recent memory.
Lmao we aren't even halfway through summer and we're already demolishing temperature records across the northern hemisphere. Winters getting colder, summers getting hotter
Check out the average temperature of the planet during your region's coldest winter in recent memory. It was above average. If you experienced record setting lows, how damn hot must the rest of the planet have been for it to be above average overall?
The average temperature hasn't changed where I'm at actually.
The average temperature hasn't changed where you're at, but this was the coldest winter in recent memory?
Do you want me to explain how maths work? I charge 50 an hour for tutoring people I don't like, send via paypal Iwill walk you though it>
Let me walk you through the maths. If the 2025–2026 winter was the coldest winter in recent memory in your region, then the temperature during winter was below average. For the average temperature to remain constant, while having a below-average winter, the rest of your year must be hotter than average.
Unless you meant that this summer specifically has an average temperature for your region, in which case (as I said in a previous comment), that highlights how damn hot the rest of the world is, considering the planet as a whole has been consistently above average throughout the last year.
Instead of charging you for this tutelage, I'll simply ask you to donate $50 to a charity of your choice
I'm not reading that drivel, you are willfully ignoring what I said and it's a fool's errand to continue as such. Go tell someone that doesn't know your nature.
So you didn't read their comment, yet somehow you magically know that they ignored what you said.
Yeah dude you're right. The millions of climate scientists who have dedicated their entire lives to this are wrong.
??? What did I ignore? I'm pretty sure I addressed everything you said, and accounted for multiple interpretations. Is two paragraphs too much for you?
we are getting our first real hot weather of the summer just now,
My friend, it's not even July yet. You're acting like we're halfway through August and it's just now starting to get hot. The summer has just started.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm getting subtle climate change denial vibes from this comment. If that's the case, you should just go ahead and fuck yourself.
In the past, during the month of June, I was able to manage to keep things cool by keeping the blinds and windows shut during the warmest parts of the days then around 9 pm, opened up all the windows and used cross ventilation/fans to pull cool air in and pull the hot air out. My wife was begging me to put the AC up at the end of May this year.
Well its fine. The people in charge will fix this.

What's funny is thinking about all the people that used to try to say that climate change won't happen for hundreds of years.
Shows you how much those people knew.
I mean, those are the same people who say "we had warm days during summer back then, too"

The interesting thing about the summer where I live right now is that we are actually far cooler than any summer recently. Last summer we hit 40 plus days of 100° or more. The Summer before that we are over 20 days of 100°. Not saying that we won't get there yet but, we have yet to even hit 100° and I'm not sure we've even hit in the '90s for more than a couple of hours. At the same time the entire state is on fire because we also had one of the most mild winters with the lowest amount of snowfall in recent records. So yes climate change is real and doesn't always mean hotter weather sometimes it means fucked up weather. For example Idaho Montana and Wyoming all have snow warnings for this week including possibly up to 2 ft of snow in Montana 10 inches of snow in Wyoming and 8 to 10 in of snow in Idaho. Last week there was a snowstorm in ice flows going down Nampa Idaho. So heat doesn't the only worry here.
Snow just in the mountains surely? Every 1,000 feet of elevation gain the temperature generally drops 3.5 degrees.
Above 6k feet in the western side of the north cascades the growing season doesn't start until well into august and half through september, and there is still snow in parts. But they get monster snowfall on the wet side of the mountains there.
