At this point, rooting for economic collapse seems to be the sane thing to do. If this is what the economy is, I'm pretty sure I don't want it anymore. Let's try something different.

Less people, more wealth each. Definitely the worst. Only way down from there is if Trump declared he owns all US Industry and can take and utilize whatever he wanta, like China.

But Ms. Frizzle told me not to run the tap when I'm shaving 😡

But how can we run ChatGPT with all of our electronics turned off?

Don't think thay would even make top 100 in the list of priorities

Super El Nino not just a heat wave. The last time something of this magnitude hit the world there was a record famine and mass death in India, and the monsoons were mostly or completely dry (depending on where) for 3 years afterwards. That's why people are joking about it being the last cool summer for 5-6 years... It's just going to be hotter and drier...

Other areas are going to get hammered with rain. I live in Canada and the prairies of Alberta and foothills east of the Canadian Rockies got hammered with record rain that's drowning crops. They got an entire year's rainfall in 1 month.

It has encompassed most of Europe and North America… and a reasonably fitting descriptor to me

Well just the one half anyway.

I know you're joking, but my uncle had a goal of visiting every continent. He hit Antarctica by signing onto a research vessel or something. A few hours of work a day, then whenever they stopped he got to go diving.

I love that winter in the southern hemisphere is a bit of frost

Also is that bush or tree back there an evergreen?

Wow. It got so hot on your tin roof that the cat atomized

That's just what the media is reporting on. Actually some other regions are having even more extreme heat waves although it's not everywhere on earth, obviously.

The current strong El Niño that is forming is highly predictive of severe heat in many places across the world, although there are some exceptions. So we can expect this to continue, albeit the exact geographic extent will likely shift.

As it turns out, it's called global warming since it is affecting the whole world. Now that heat waves are becoming a large problem in NA and Europe, Western media (being based there) is more likely to cover that. But lots of places have already been experiencing greater storms, floods, etc. due to the increase in global temperatures. And from my own experience in Asia, it's really hot in the summer now, sometimes over 34 degrees (Celsius), far more than just a few years ago!
