Hottest days ever recorded in half of Europe, but no reason to panic, right?
I assume everyone realises that we're going to die, and we're too stupid to spend 5% of GDP on fixing it, which is why the world's gone a bit crazy.
- stirlo 7y agoThe problem is the world won’t end, it simply changes, for every piece of land in a Bangladeshi river delta that gets flooded there’s a piece of Siberia where the permafrost will melt and become fertile farming ground.
- mavhc 7y agoProbably why Russia is funding internet conspiracies about global heating being fake.
- kennywinker 7y agoAssuming we don’t have runaway warming. There’s a lot of co2 locked up in that permafrost. When siberia gets too hot, where do we go after that?
- mavhc 7y agoSeems like everything about the Earth is a positive feedback loop for global warming. More ice melting, less reflection More ice melting, more methane released Co2 released from soil Less rain, less amazon rainforest More forest fires More deserts Clouds changing More water vapour https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedback https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedback
- SiempreViernes 7y agoRight, and you will move the 120 million people and requsite infrastructure to this promised land in the north yourself? And what will you do about the parts of the middle east that will have unsurvivabled heat waves, move abu dabi and dubai to Alaska?
- quibbler 7y agoClimate is always either cooling or warming, and records don"t go back very far (in geological terms). In that light "hottest day ever" somewhere might not mean that much. It could even be that there are so many places on earth that some have random records all the time. Not saying it means nothing, but needs more data or precision, like "hotter by how much".
