Yes, really.
The warmest recent years (e.g., 2022, 2023, 2024) rank among the highest average temperatures on record for Germany.
The rate of warming in recent decades is stronger than the global average, with Germany seeing about 0.38 °C per decade (1971–2022).
.... and other similar statistics. Look up.

- ejolto 10mo agoWhat is alarmist about it? It’s just a fact.
- networkadmin 10mo agoShould I spend an hour explaining in detail, only to have my comment be auto-censored again just like the last one was?
- tw04 10mo agoIt wasn’t auto censored. And you didn’t explain anything, you made a silly and provably false statement and were understandably downvoted almost immediately. Just like if you were to claim the moon landing was faked.
- 9rx 10mo agoSuppose someone did post that the moon landing was faked. What purpose would downvoting it serve? 1. If posted in good faith, they lose an opportunity to learn. HN should not be joining the ranks of the growing anti-education establishment. 2. If it is trolling, the downvote offers a "read receipt" telling that the wanted attention was found, which only further encourages more trolling. Do not feed the trolls. There is no situation where downvoting would be a positive contribution. Well, unless you find enjoyment in reading the "why did you downvote this?" comments that sometimes follow. But be careful with that as someday you'll start to see them as just being annoyingly repetitive.

- 9rx 10mo agoWhat would you explain? Alarmism needs exaggerated alarm, which isn't found in the earlier comment. One could project their own worries about a warming globe onto the comment, perhaps, but that alarm would stem from within oneself, not the comment. Another might see a warming globe as the best thing that could ever happen and there is nothing in said comment that would dismiss that.

- tw04 10mo agoYou are free to say whatever you want. Society is free to dismiss your factually incorrect statements. That isn’t censorship, nobody is required to listen to your nonsense or give you a platform to spout it.
- zahlman 10mo agoYour flagged comment goes beyond claiming alarmism (i.e. exaggeration) on the part of others. It's conspiratorial in tone and uses an unnecessary insult.
- __MatrixMan__ 10mo agoThe presence of hyperactive censors has no bearing on the truth of whatever claim they're censoring. People like to steer whether or not they know where they're going.
- lkey 10mo agoI'm being censored!!!! You scream with your brand new account that only talks in conspiratorial tones about how climate change isn't dangerous.

- text0404 10mo agoIt's probably the fact that you created two accounts in 30 mins to astroturf/troll a thread about climate change which is an actual, measurable phenomenon. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=hasanabi https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=hasanabi Edit: this one too? https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=doktor2un https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=doktor2un
- canadiantim 10mo agoNo he’s right that there’s mass censorship happening in this thread for some reason. Not a good look for ycombinator…
