We did it ! We Terraformed a planet ! Earth, a planet that was exactly as perfect as it gets for us to live on it, we Terraformed it into a suffocating hell.

I sweat with minimal exertion - combination of a sedentary lifestyle plus SSRIs fucking with body temp regulation. Always thought I might be comfy in the arctic circle. So much for that, I guess.

SciAm unable to call out Big Oil.

To put that in perspective, these temperatures are on par for Orlando, Fla., at this time of year.

If you ever hear the phrase “on par with Orlando, FL” then you know shits fucked. Context is irrelevant

This summer has been ominous as fuck. Anytime I’ve pointed it out most people don’t realize what I mean… If you’re in tune with the natural system of weather you recognize a shift like this. It’s been getting slowly worse over the last few years… but this year has been really really different. We are so fucked.

We're fucked. Glad I'm on the older side, don't have kids, and got to experience this world before we utterly fucked it.

It's true - it was beautiful before The Great Burn.

Everyone concurs

The amount of carbon and methane sequestered in the arctic is staggering....and when it heats up, that's going to start off gassing...

And then Earth ran a fever to try to get rid of the parasites. The parasites will have to adapt to survive, though, some were already changing to a less aggressive bleeding of the earth, in hopes that they will go out saying, "I bit the least!" before starving to death.

Beachfront property.... Here we go! You, know, plus sunamis and terrible weather.

I just need to know how bad, how fast.

Mostly because I miss cigarettes and if I don't need to have quit, I would like them back thanks.

We live in interesting times. I didn’t expect it in my lifetime and was worried for my grandkids. Now I expect that we all will see a lot of disasters brought to us by burning fossil fuels.

I regret having a child

I'm sorry, it's HOW HOT IN THE FUCKING ARCTIC‽‽‽

The Arctic is cooking. Across northern Russia—a region that is famously bitterly cold—temperatures this week have routinely surpassed 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.2 degrees Celsius), adding to the mountain of broken heat records this summer has racked up so far.

In recent days, the Selagoncy meteorological station, near the border of the Arctic Circle, recorded 93.0 degrees F (33.9 degrees C); another station, Olenyok, logged 90.9 degrees F (32.7 degrees C), according to data collected by weather information service Ogimet and reported by climatologist Maximiliano Herrera. To put that in perspective, these temperatures are on par for Orlando, Fla., at this time of year.

“Studies in recent years have shown that the Arctic is warming much more rapidly than the rest of the planet due to feedback from the loss of sea ice—so it is not surprising that we are seeing these all-time record temperatures at high latitudes,” says independent meteorologist Alan Gerard.

It’s a dangerous feedback loop: as sea ice melts, the Arctic reflects less sunlight, and the ocean absorbs more heat. This generates even more sea ice loss. The region is warming as much as four times faster than the rest of the world.

Rising temperatures are unlikely to let up anytime soon, Gerard says, thanks to a strong El Niño expected this year. An El Niño year is characterized by abnormally high ocean temperatures in the Pacific, which can unleash climate chaos elsewhere—causing heavy rainfall in some areas and drought in others—as well as driving up temperatures.

“With the building potentially record El Niño, it is likely that in 2027 we will see even more record heat than we are seeing this year,” Gerard says.

Not that the planet needs any help with record-setting temperatures. In the U.S. in recent weeks, New York City’s Central Park reached 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C) for the first time since 2012, parts of Montana soared to 111 degrees F (43.9 degrees C), and areas in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming surpassed 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C).

one one hand, this is bad for the ecosystem, on the other hand, it will speed up the submerging of Florida.

It's all fine guys, we made the Epstein class a lot LF money, it was all worth it

Methane bomb time.

The rich want us all dead and will cook this planet to do it
