Well next year will be a chill summer, but this will be the old peak
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.
el nino is fucking the weather pattern. last one i remember this weird was in 1995 or 1996. I expect massive floods next winter.
i did whitewater rafting guiding back then (South Fork, American, California) and the houses along the river i guided were in different spots when we were learning the river after the bad flood year in the 90s. Which i think was 96 and right after el nino. we had been doing the chris farley joke right up until the flooding and seeing the houses moved like, a few hundred feet really put it into perspective. We figured they had been on pier foundations or something and the floodwaters just picked them up and carried them downstream a little.
I think in Europe the penny is finally starting to drop and people will start buying ACs soon… hopefully
Yeah AC will save all the problems caused by heatwaves. Because we’ll be able to AC all outdoor crops, cattle, also the poor will be able to use AC, to avoid the heat dome effect we’ll AC entire cities…
What’s the point of buying an AC if the majority of jobs in Europe are logistical or manufacturing without AC. That’s where workers will die
Take it easy friend, there will be other workers to take their place! Don’t blow it out of proportion.
/s duh
- the Soviet Union, and America Circa 1890
America right now?
I mean you can have AC there too. And the EU should be capable of regulating max temperatures into existence. If they are able to regulate big tech, they should be able to do this as well (i hope). Also, manufacturing and logistical jobs are not even close to a majority of jobs in the EU.
so then suffer 24 hours a day and die hot and miserable.
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.
My favorite type of climate change my local county did to itself (we made the streams and canals flow better so we don’t flood. A lot of it was litter removal. Damn project took decades and will need maintenance) like, it doesn’t have to be bad,
I mean, those are the same people who say “we had warm days during summer back then, too”
While this data is presented by a company selling apartments across the globe and the text is written to explain how much travel destinations change over the coming decades, the data in it gives a clear overview of changes in 85 different cities. Anyone living in any of those 85 cities can use it to see how fucked you might be in the near and not so near future: https://www.nestpick.com/2050-climate-change-city-index/
Little spoiler: you’ll be at least a little fucked no matter where you live.
I’m starting to thank my foresight (it was a whoopsie) when I moved to Texas for a few years for education. It was hot and humid. Worst I remember was 116°F and 100% humidity. And I had to work outdoors that afternoon. Kind of like how after hypothermia nothing seems cold, I ain’t felt hot in days.
