Record-smashing heat spreads: 'Basically the entire US is going to be hot'

Sure, what they mean is that we have well documented evidence that Exxon *acknowledged* the damage they were doing in the 70's.

While this is true, it is misleading. The Keeling Curve was (more or less) *proven* in the late 1950s. NOAA began their own tracking of CO2 levels in the 1970s. This is all to say, the science community knew as of those points. But it really doesn’t become a completely unavoidable/undeniable phenomenon until James Hansen’s famous senate testimony in 1988. You can make reasonable claims about public deniability until the Hansen testimony which really put the concept of climate change as we understand it today firmly in the public consciousness.

It doesn't seem so hard to understand. Why don't you wear black in the summer. Because it's hot. What color is car exhaust? Black. What happens when you put black particles in the atmosphere? IT'S A HOAX! I'm tired, boss. Dog tired.

Shoutout my guy Svante Arhenius

They claimed they would raise rates 10% where I'm at after data centers opened up. Most people's bills literally doubled compared to last year. My girl moved out of her apartment last month and the last 2 weeks no one was living there her bill went up by 40%. There's radiator heat and.nothing plugged in.  We went the only people who noticed the insane electric bill increases. People are livid. There was no vote on these data centers but they were planned years ago so there was very little protest either. They dropped property values all around them significantly too. 

Indiana republicans completely sold us out to data centers last year. Our utility bills have doubled so far, and set to rise again next month!

26 years of renewables investment would have been cool

I have good news and bad news. Depending on where you live, climate change might lead to stronger winter storms and larger single storm snow totals due to more water in the atmosphere and weird jet stream and polar vortex instability, while at the same time reducing overall snowfall. So you'll get hot summers, warm winters, lots of rain, but also still get 20" of snow at once that you have to deal with.

Utah checking in. This is the warmest and driest winter in our history. Our ski resorts famous for "The Greatest Snow on Earth" have already closed for the season because of the lack of snow. Shits cooked.

Here in Oregon our mountains are bare. Our ski resorts hardly had any days they were open. It was crazy warm this past winter. This does not bode well for fire season this summer.

It didn't snow in Colorado until the last week of November/first week of December, when it dropped 0.2 inches then didn't snow again until nearly January where I live. We've gotten 2 other snow storms, neither more than a few inches. And it's mostly been in the 50s-60s, without even frosting at night. There were a couple of weeks in Jan-Feb where it hit the 70s, and last week it got into the low 80s where I'm at. Normally, it starts snowing late September into October here, and continues through March, which is our snowiest month, with occasional snows through April on the front range (June or so in the mountains). There are already water restrictions because it's been so dry that some people have been watering their yards since January. And the snowpack in the mountains is around 40%, the lowest on record so far.

emperor penguins (and other polar critters) are likely to become extinct within our lifetimes...

Damnit Dale, we live in Texas. It's already 110 in the summer, and if it gets 1 degree hotter, I'm kicking your ass.

Ain't nothin' like a fresh Alaska orange.

Spend billions to get nothing in return. The Art of the Deal, baby!

that's the wrong answer, man, the Earth's temps are cyclical and definitely not man-made, bury your head in the sand and keep buying gas cars because AMERICA. afk, omw to bomb iran

Thanks Arthur.

Wow, are we that old?

Mexico City looks incredible right now. Nothing but cranes and plants. Once they fix their water infrastructure problems, it is going to be the jewel of North America.

Right, plants are the way to go. We need to reconnect with nature to heal, not just the planet but ourselves too. I saw an article that mentioned "forest growth in the EU outpaces harvesting". It gives me hope that we still have a chance to fix our planet.

Maybe one a few degrees south so it'll feel right at home when it's grown

People in Connecticut can finally enjoy having a saguaro cactus in their yard!

My neighbor passed away, he had a gorgeous garden and apple trees. He had planted some new ones, really awesome back yard. Bank ended up with it, they completely cleared the property other than a couple grown apple trees and left hundreds of tree stumps everywhere. Absolutely hideous

And then the whales 

Plant jujube trees, they tolerate heat and drought and produce fruit, just do not plant near sewer lines as the roots can be invasive.

They’ve convinced those of us not in the elite predator class that resources are a zero-sum game, everything is scarce, etc.  Then they make it our reality and watch us fight each other for their entertainment. They are literally starring in their own reality tv shows, and we are the annoying extras.

Lol...thank you for the laugh this morning

Hoover dam could be in trouble if the water levels continue dropping like they have been

"The planet" in this case, should refer to the insane biodiversity we have, but are rapidly annihilating. And no, it won't be fine. No one gives a shit about the ball of rock if we turn this place into another Venus.

From now on, I'm referring to climate change as "Trans Climate" just so the GOP does everything in their power to stop it.

Trans for everyone/s 😋 love you, internet friend

Tells you all you need to know about him
