(meanwhile, in North America, Post world cup) How do you like 51C ?
A SMALL price to Pay to have REALLY Expensive Oil!
-World Leaders!
Chat, are we cooked?
40c in Europe is similar to 55c in Middle East.
Yes, we cooking. Thankfully my country only experienced 2 very hot days, but it was unbearable and I genuinely got scared for my heart after I noticed it's basically rushing at 120 for second day straight (my resting rate is usually 70)
Well more like Sous vide
Edit: I hate when I think I’m being clever only to keep reading and someone else was just as clever but quicker.
Oklahoma aboutta break a lot of records soon (~2 weeks).
I'd fuck the planet but then I've be a terraphile, and you know what they do to those in prison.
If not for the gulf stream (a constant sea water movement) Europe would be much colder and Northern America much warmer. I wonder if climate warming could potentially stop this gulf stream
The AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) is now creaking under the weight of all that Pacific heat in the ocean. If that goes - which is looking increasingly likely within the next 25-50 years - then sayonara Gulf Stream and Europe can look forward to what's likely to be extremely sub-zero winter temperatures and soaring summer temperatures.
I'm in the UK and I've bought an extra pair of mitts and a hand fan, so I'll be laughing
What are we talking about when you say extremely sub zero. As in -20c or colder?
Let's just put it this way. It is what was thought to have triggered previous ice ages.
We have the same cake day!
Very serious topic about dying earth, climate change, etc
"yo we have the same cake day!"
Idk why, but this made me laugh too much
Exactly that, yes. We rely on the Gulf Stream for our mild climate so, if that goes, we get the extremes in both summer and winter
Europe won't just be colder, the weather will be more extreme in all directions. Hotter summers and colder winters, with stronger storms due to more extreme temperature variances. It will be a fun time all year round for everyone.
I'm just glad the past few winters were so mild here in romania the past few (5?) years. I dread a really cold winter.
Idk if rhetorical question but there's evidence (iirc, an atypically cold patch of water off of....Greenland?) that the gulf stream may already be breaking down.
Just move Europe to the west coast of the south pole and it will drag Italy up the scooter hole of Antarctica, and then we will have the power of Star Gate: Atlantis in our own pants
This is good news, it shows the laws of nature do apply to humans and scientists like James Hansen etal were right and Physics as we know it applies
but we've chosen to ignore it and it'll get worse and perhaps this answers Fermi's Paradox?
Humanity is the problem (for most humans and for most species) , climate change is the solution, we're literally killing species off so fast it's labeled the sixth mass extinction.
*et al
Self extinction has always been my solution for the Fermi paradox
It won't take alien invasions, it won't take world wars using nukes. It will simply be humans living day to day, consuming and altering everything they cross paths with.
