One of my favorite copes in the USA is that all this weather data is faked by Democrats / leftists, so no need to worry about it.
Another popular take is: “China is really filthy, so why should we try to be clean?”
“By the time things go really bad, I’ll be dead, so who cares?”
Basically selfish people being selfish. I’d like to leave the world better than I found it, not worse.
This is why we can’t have anything nice.
that level of selfishness is pathological.
and I mean it, as it literally harms others, so it’s not just a quirky attitude.
Im excited for the world’s biggest battle royal at the pole. The circle closing in will be a lethal wet bulb temperature.
I’ve been told that AI will fix this
“Just need to melt a few more ice caps and my LLM will have the solution to preventing the ice caps from melting!”
Just like daddy drops in his drink. … And then he gets maaad.
Once and for all
That’s hot
Every single metric that was laid out decades ago has not only been reached it has been surpassed. We’re so fucking fucked on an unimaginable scale and it’s honestly terrifying how no one seems to care.
I care alot. That’s why I got a vasectomy. Don’t you care your kids? Then dont have them. In the best case scenario, they would lord over wage slaves who would make your kids money. Why would you want that for your kids? And thats the best case…
Humans are remarkably good at not caring about something until it affects them personally at which point it’s too late to do anything about it
I’m really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don’t care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.
Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you’ve conquered nature, too.
It is the working class vs the 1%, not generation vs generation.
In this circumstance I think it’s both. There is an enormous wealth and income gap between them and us.
Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.
We’re so fucked
I used to ski every year since i was a child, but i took a good 10-12 year break. When i went back in the region i usually went skiing, the glacier was pretty much gone. At least compared to what i remembered. It was quite shocking.
Must be some parallel universe central Europe …
We’re at 20-25, unless you mean see some other lowlands 🤔
Zurich for example
Maybe lowlands isn’t the best word but it’s not high up in the alps
Yeah I’m in the middle of visiting Germany, Austria, and Slovenia over five weeks, and I did not pack enough warm clothes
The measuring station in question is at the Mo i Rana airport, which is at Røssvoll, not Storforshei.
As someone from the village of Røssvoll who’s biggest enemy is Storforshei I am very offended by this misattribution! There’s almost 3 whole km between these two places!
Also tfw the first time my random small area of middle of nowhere Norway is mentioned is when I’m dying from overheating.
Nevermind, I looked into this. It is some unofficial measuring station and not an official station (which the one at Røssvoll is)
I like that when you come back with more accurate information it’s to dunk on the illegitimacy of your rival towns weather station.
Crazy, I’m in the Southern California high desert and it’s been hotter where you are than where I am. That’s not supposed to happen.
Mo I Rana doesn’t exist. It’s a fasade put up to hide the government facilities from people on the train. I only knew one dude from Mo i Rana and he was definitely a robot.
That would explain why the town has so many people employed by the government.
Yeah, but skatteetaten is just a plausible cover for what they’re actually doing there. All the skatteetaten jobs have been automated for years.
I agree, especially considering how much the government is hollowing out a mountain for Nasjonalbiblioteket. There’s no way you’d need that much space just for storing some books.
I know that feeling. The first time I’ve seen my state being mentioned in international news was because of the catastrophic floods that happened last year.
Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.
which state if you do not mind me asking?
Florida. Can’t talk about climate change.
It’s the height of irony that one of the states spearheading the disinfo campaign is the one that will cease to exist first because of it.
Oh, now you’ve done it.
Aren’t they drowning and insurance companies there aren’t covering flood damage?
What’s the explanation for that?
God punishing wokeness, probably
The explanation is that conservative boomers are very, very well versed in gaslighting, enforcing reality denial on others, to keep themselves from ever having to entertain the the idea that they were ever wrong about anything, ever.
… and if they were wrong, it wasn’t a big deal, and if it was a big deal, then you deserved it, and if you didn’t deserve it, then it doesn’t matter in the long run because in the long run we are all dead, etc, ad infinitum.
CLEARLY the intensifying hurricanes and rising water levels are the work of THE WOKE LEFT and their EVIL WEATHER WEAPONS powered by JEWISH MAGIC SPACE LASERS!!!
/s
Florida is falling apart and sinking into the ocean, and it’s their own damn fault. Insurance is no longer covering storms and flooding because both are getting SO common and SO extreme that by the time they’ve finalized payment for one case, the same party has filed 3 more. This is further exasperated by the rampant suburban sprawl Florida is known for, as they bulldozed and developed the coastal flood zones (read: the everglades, the swamps, the coves and inlets, all the little islands and water features that help mitigate storm damage) in order to build more fucking McMansion neighborhoods for retiring Boomers, only for them to get washed away in the next storm. Add on to this an openly Fascist and anti-urban development/public infrastructure (except highways, always more money for highways! Just one more lane bro, we promise!) government, and you get Modern Florida.
Honestly, the best thing that could happen for Florida is if everyone left it, and they ceded it back to the wildlife. We failed, give it up, and move on.
Don’t forget their ‘solution’ to this is to uh, checks notes, abolish property taxes… and replace the lost revenue with increased sales taxes.
In a state massively reliant on tourism.
I concur, Florida is completely a lost cause, the best thing to do would indeed be to just let nature reclaim it, the humans that live there largely won’t in 10 to 20 years,.no matter what is done, at this point.
As a geologist I think the deep time context makes this pretty interesting. Florida is a shallow limestone platform that was built underwater. It’s only been above ground for the past few million years because recently our planet has had a lot of polar ice cover. Its position above sea level is just as anomalous as the insane developmental practices of the boomers. So it’s fitting that they both go down together now, although it’s unfortunate for all of the people who suffer needlessly because of their arrogance.
I hope successive generations will learn to live in harmony with nature and accept that their actions have consequences outside of their tiny worldview.
we know its getting badin florida has very little news coming out of it, due to all the trump shaninigans recently. hows the tourism going on there, DISNEY? whos picking your oranges in florida?
The orange trees are dying from fungus anyway. Monoculture and climate change were gonna kill OJ at some point anyway. That’s why it’s coming in smaller plastic bottles for higher prices already. Right? It’s not just naked profiteering, right?
Democrat weather machine.
in RA2, the allies has a weather machine as a superweapon.
I don’t remember that in Ride Along 2?
remember the california fires, insurance isnt covering houses that people KNOWINGLY built in fire prone areas.
It’s the “globalists” with their weather machines, obviously.
Burn it down. Wait, no, that would contribute to climate change
Burn only the ac units. Would solve the problem and be a help in reducing energy emissions.
Yes burning things like plastic and electronics and coolant would totally help the environment. 🙄
Not just coolant, but extremely environmentally hazardous refrigerants.
So you guys keep running the internationally banned refrigerants that destroy the ozone layer, instead of using safer ones?

Floriduh is one of my favorite tropes.
Oh that’s fine then. Just call it the climate emergency or catastrophe.
I think climate is on the list of bad words.
Knowing the political party, probably also “change”
D’nile I would assume.
Man made climate disaster? Man made climate warming?
On the bright side we may uncover more Otzis.
Well stop measuring!
Don’t Look Up!
Invest in sharpies!
Can’t we just nuke the heat?
I mean… there was some talk about nuclear winter no… ??
But if not, we can just fish another asteroid and drop on earth.
That would grant us around 2 years of winter world wilde
Fighting fire with fire!
the part of scandinavia north of the arctic circle can get crazy hot in the summer, because the sun doesn’t set. i think norway has a cooler climate than sweden overall due to the scandes, but when i lived up there my 60s concrete apartment building started heating up so much due to the midnight sun that inside temps didn’t go below 29 degrees for like half of august. the walls were literally radiating heat.
This would be great to exploit for some kind of reservoir-based heating and cooling system.
we do have those for district heating, but they’re usually composed of water. the finns are experimenting with sand too. thing is, +/- 30 degrees isn’t much to work with. all the heat battery systems i’ve seen that work are running in the hundreds of degrees. well, except the water ones of course, but even those run close to boiling point.
It isn’t just that, there’s also a massive ocean current that brings warm, tropical water up there. It’s also why Atlantic Europe is so warm despite being generally as north or more than frickin’ Montréal where last winter we got 70-80cm of snow in 48hrs.
This is still a massive problem, of course.
well norway is generally cold despite that due to the humidity wicking away the heat. inland is a lot hotter.
Just wait a few years, that warm current will be disrupted and it’ll cool back off. /s
Man, those libs are sure working overtime selling their hoax.
It’s a conspiracy I tell you, the operators of all 250,000 worldwide weather stations are in a coordinated effort to misreport temperatures
Tell me about it. Do you have any idea how high the specific heat of water is? George Soros must be running those space lasers 24/7 to make such a convincing show.
As the evidence gets more and more overwhelming they seem to be dropping the hoax thing and calling it natural change.
Of course.
Those who have money to do something about it but aren’t doing anything about it should share the consequences… No Air Conditioner for them…
Oh, they’re absolutely doing a lot about it. They’re funding climate change denial lobbyists, selling land that’s vulnerable to climate change, and buying land that will improve with it. The working class will be left holding the bag…again
Wikipedia Article about The Organization
Edit: Links
it goes further than that, the oil/gas companies are funding subterfuge groups, basically they funding “protest” that are upright annoying, and deface property, which helps turn the public against them in the name of global warming. additionally they fund movements, like reducing carbon footprint, and people also SUSsed out companies that “how do reduce your carbon usage by buying our enviromentally friendly products”. that way they dont need to reduce thier own emissions.
Truly awful. Like tobacco executive levels of amoral behavior.
on some nature channels, people were calling out these companies as they are being promoted by the owners, i think that got the message and stopped promoting them, it would be hypocritical for them keep promoting on thier channels, when all the animals are endagered due to deforestation, global warming, encroachment.
Why would they need air conditioning with their heads in a guillotine basket?
To keep their executioners nice and cool.
They’re already pretty cool in my book.
Noice. I see what you did there. 🪓💀🩸🪦 ( •_•)>⌐■-■ 😎
Norway doesn’t have a lot of air conditioners
What year was this?
Edit: ok the thin red line is peak highs for all recorded years. The blue line is peak lows.
The red isn’t peak high for all years. According to the legend in the upper left, the red line is the high temperature for those days in 2025. The other lines peaking up around it are past years.
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not but I’m not referring to the 2025 line. I marked it in yellow in my screenshot
Sorry about that, guess I’m just blind. I’m viewing on mobile and all the smaller lines look Grey and didn’t see the yellow line until the brightness was cranked up.
Blue?
It’s a lot harder to tell here since it’s a screen shot but the original post from Xitter the bottom line is blue.
I had deduced that the blue one was historic minimums but I was thinking that the red one was last year temperatures. Thanks for the clarification.
