I regret to inform everyone that the events depicted in the first chapter of The Ministry for the Future have become inevitable in this timeline
If we’re going down that route, then let’s hope the Children of Kali become inevitable too.
It’s like my pappy used to say, “Learn to hack, learn to drone.”
yeah that sort of an event is only a matter of time at this point
The entire world at 40°:
The United States, also at 40°:

Dale’s comment about growing oranges in Alaska is almost kinda funnier knowing that the soviets were growing oranges in Siberia
I really hope we have funny show trials for oil company ceos someday.
They should be at the state fair dunk tank except instead of water it’s sulfuric acid

There’s always this tacit assumption by chud and liberal westerners that climate change catastrophes are a “third world thing”, if they even believe in it at all
Well that assumption is some big old doo doo
Indeed, in fact there is a good reason to suspect that things could get worse in parts that are further away from the equator. Places where temperature is already at the global maximum aren’t going to see dramatic changes. However, places that are cooler have higher temperatures gradients leading to more turbulent weather.

It doesn’t take a dramatic change to push an area from “hot” to “deadly.” I’d take a high latitude continental climate at +10 degrees over normal over an equatorial region +5 over.
Yeah that’s the flip side of it, a few degrees make a big difference when you’re already at the edge of survivability. Another aspect is food production. Imagine having a heat wave for a few weeks that kills the harvest, that’s a recipe for a famine.
It’s a good thing most Americans get their food from McDonald’s!
Stay safe out there, comrades.
This is fine, I don’t know what a C is anyways.
It’s the thing I always forgot to add at the end of my antiderivatives
I remember as a kid during the summer in my area we would have maybe like a few days or a week of heat and that would be the heat wave for the year. Then it became 1-2 weeks of heat, then multiple heatwaves per year, and now it’s just common for the heat to hang around all summer and then a solid 2ish months of high temps from like October to mid/late November. Last year I was wearing my summer clothes through early December. very cool and not concerning at all
I was just fucking thinking the same
I remember seeing 30C for the first time in my teens and thinking how unusual it was. It was one single day in the dead of August
Now it remains that from April to October
yeah, I am not missing the small amount of time hrt MIGHT take out of my life expectancy
Good normal climate stuff
yeah it’s already unbearable outside. I thought last year was the worst summer I ever experienced, but seems like it’ll be even worse this year. Last winter was uncharacteristically cold too and lasted longer.
I hope things get better, but it’s hard to stay hopeful. I want all of you to stay safe and happy
We’re getting our first heat wave next week. Granted it’s a high of only 89 or so, low 90’s, 104 F sounds unbearable.
I could only do those temps at high altitude with dry air and cooler nights. Imagining that with humidity and 80+ nights is my personal hell.

Lucky humanity has the extremley energy-efficent technology of air conditioners
I’d be more concerned if I bothered to convert that to Fahrenheit
how common are acs in those parts? i imagined they’re much more common than in britain
