Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.

Every single metric that was laid out decades ago has not only been reached it has been surpassed. We're so fucking fucked on an unimaginable scale and it's honestly terrifying how no one seems to care.
Humans are remarkably good at not caring about something until it affects them personally at which point it's too late to do anything about it
I'm really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don't care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.
Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you've conquered nature, too.
I care alot. That's why I got a vasectomy. Don't you care your kids? Then dont have them. In the best case scenario, they would lord over wage slaves who would make your kids money. Why would you want that for your kids? And thats the best case...
Man, those libs are sure working overtime selling their hoax.
It’s a conspiracy I tell you, the operators of all 250,000 worldwide weather stations are in a coordinated effort to misreport temperatures
Tell me about it. Do you have any idea how high the specific heat of water is? George Soros must be running those space lasers 24/7 to make such a convincing show.
As the evidence gets more and more overwhelming they seem to be dropping the hoax thing and calling it natural change.
I've been told that AI will fix this
Those who have money to do something about it but aren't doing anything about it should share the consequences... No Air Conditioner for them..
Oh, they're absolutely doing a lot about it. They're funding climate change denial lobbyists, selling land that's vulnerable to climate change, and buying land that will improve with it. The working class will be left holding the bag...again

it goes further than that, the oil/gas companies are funding subterfuge groups, basically they funding "protest" that are upright annoying, and deface property, which helps turn the public against them in the name of global warming. additionally they fund movements, like reducing carbon footprint, and people also SUSsed out companies that "how do reduce your carbon usage by buying our enviromentally friendly products". that way they dont need to reduce thier own emissions.
Truly awful. Like tobacco executive levels of amoral behavior.
on some nature channels, people were calling out these companies as they are being promoted by the owners, i think that got the message and stopped promoting them, it would be hypocritical for them keep promoting on thier channels, when all the animals are endagered due to deforestation, global warming, encroachment.
Why would they need air conditioning with their heads in a guillotine basket?
To keep their executioners nice and cool.
One of my favorite copes in the USA is that all this weather data is faked by Democrats / leftists, so no need to worry about it.
Another popular take is: "China is really filthy, so why should we try to be clean?"
"By the time things go really bad, I'll be dead, so who cares?"
Basically selfish people being selfish. I'd like to leave the world better than I found it, not worse.
This is why we can't have anything nice.
Well, when I read your examples, I'm also like: WTF?
But at the same time, I also can't justify doing more than I'm already doing when companies and billionaires are so wasteful. I do recycle plastics etc, but it is becoming very difficult to justify me having to take this action, when 3M down the river just dumps all possible forever chemicals in our rivers and even have a government issued permit allowing them to do so.
So in short, on some level, I'm also selfish. Let the corporations and billionaires that pollute the most take action. There is very little someone like me can do, and I'm already doing most of the stuff I can. For instance, we have 2 electric cars, solar panels, well insulated home with a heatpump, we recycle as much we can, etc...
that level of selfishness is pathological.
and I mean it, as it literally harms others, so it's not just a quirky attitude.
the part of scandinavia north of the arctic circle can get crazy hot in the summer, because the sun doesn't set. i think norway has a cooler climate than sweden overall due to the scandes, but when i lived up there my 60s concrete apartment building started heating up so much due to the midnight sun that inside temps didn't go below 29 degrees for like half of august. the walls were literally radiating heat.
This would be great to exploit for some kind of reservoir-based heating and cooling system.
we do have those for district heating, but they're usually composed of water. the finns are experimenting with sand too. thing is, +/- 30 degrees isn't much to work with. all the heat battery systems i've seen that work are running in the hundreds of degrees. well, except the water ones of course, but even those run close to boiling point.
It isn’t just that, there’s also a massive ocean current that brings warm, tropical water up there. It’s also why Atlantic Europe is so warm despite being generally as north or more than frickin’ Montréal where last winter we got 70-80cm of snow in 48hrs.
This is still a massive problem, of course.
let that sink in
agree, it's too high
Im excited for the world's biggest battle royal at the pole. The circle closing in will be a lethal wet bulb temperature.
I think it ironic that the South europeans have started coming here for "coolcation" only to find it almost as hot as down there.
Yeah, I get the reasoning, but it's not all about latitude. The Gulf Stream and Polar Front Jet Stream have huge impacts on local climates. Britain would probably have a lot more beaches with cool temperatures if they're looking for those in an easily accessible country from Europe.
I can only remember one summer with more than a day or two of 30+ degrees c. They are usually right to come here for more comfortable temperatures. We usually want to leave the other way when we have rainy 12 degrees summers.
Huh, another thing I learned on lemmy. Thanks for helping keep this place better than the r-word.
Not all summers are rainy though, but it kind of feels like it. A normal good summer day is mid twenties. I'm from just about where the post is about. Futher south is more consistently nice.
Real estate investment funds are scrambling to pick up coastal acreage of Norway's hottest new vacation beach front property.
(Sarcasm doesn't cover ir. Tragic jest maybe?)
Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.
We’re so fucked
I used to ski every year since i was a child, but i took a good 10-12 year break. When i went back in the region i usually went skiing, the glacier was pretty much gone. At least compared to what i remembered. It was quite shocking.
We're at 20-25, unless you mean see some other lowlands 🤔
Yeah I'm in the middle of visiting Germany, Austria, and Slovenia over five weeks, and I did not pack enough warm clothes
So Norway is warming up? Imagine the pristine year round hiking in those mountains. Beautiful if not for the horrors that got us here.

What year was this?
Edit: ok the thin red line is peak highs for all recorded years. The blue line is peak lows.
I had deduced that the blue one was historic minimums but I was thinking that the red one was last year temperatures. Thanks for the clarification.
The red isn't peak high for all years. According to the legend in the upper left, the red line is the high temperature for those days in 2025. The other lines peaking up around it are past years.
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not but I’m not referring to the 2025 line. I marked it in yellow in my screenshot
That's hot
Don't worry; it's only temporary.
'Course, once it stops Norway will have a much worse problem.
