Temperatures in parts of Chile and northern Argentina have soared to 10°C–20°C above average over the last few days. Towns in the Andes mountains have reached 38°C or more, while Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, saw temperatures above 30°C—breaking its previous August record by more than 5°C. Temperatures peaked at 39°C in the town of Rivadavia.
At this rate we’re probably only a year or two away from seeing an area in the world head into the 50°C+ range and kill everyone who can’t get into air conditioning.
Yep. It’s going to get worse before it gets better regardless now.
Realistically given our trajectory it probably won’t get better again until long after we go extinct
We won’t go extinct, but we could suffer civilization collapse and billions could die. The survivors would live in the ruins of the planet for basically ever because it could take so long to recover humans aren’t humans by then.
that’s terrifying
More terrifying knowing this is really the begging of the end. {{ IMHO}}
You don’t have to say IMHO when you’re stating settled facts
I still can’t believe a huge amount of people don’t even care
They largely believe they’re the main characters in a universe created just for them by a super being.
Their belief that this is all planned is unshakable. Because the second that’s in doubt, so is everything else they believe.
In order to believe in climate change, they have to stop being religious. That’s a harder sell. So they stick their heads in the sand and pretend it’s all a part of God’s plan.

Hi. Ye … I totally have zero hope in anything anymore, politics, global climate change, global inequality… Looks like things aren’t getting better…
BTW what does boost mean?
BTW what does boost mean?
I believe boost is similar to upvote on Kbin. I’m not sure what the difference between boost and upvote is.
Upvoting is like favoriting something, but a boost bumps something up so it’s more likely to appear on the trending section.
So upvote means “I like it” and boosting means “more people should see it,” from what I understand.
It’s the upvote of kbin. I don’t know much more about it as I don’t use kbin.
There was a hailstorm that covered the city in snow two days ago in the middle of Germany… in Summer.
It really feels weird that there is nothing you as a person can do
And it even was the very same city that exactly 10 years ago was hit with a very violent hailstorm that caused billions in damage.

You can always vote better. There are choices you can make as a consumer, but mostly it is fiddling at the edges. We need massive action and that means government.
I think a lot of us have been voting as best we can.
I’m poor, living in a 3rd world country, with no money for air conditioning. What the fuck am I supposed to do.
Guess I’ll just have to enjoy (lol, like I can) the few years I have left.
