Or we’ll be off a new peak and hear “it’s the coolest year in a decade, so climate change isn’t happening” to explain why anything sub 100⁰ is good enough.
A hundred degrees?!? Please don’t be obtuse
Or they’re using moron-units aka Fahrenheit
Methinks MG was angling for a pun
Eeee you have gotten to know me
MG?
You people should really smile more.
… this all is immensely funny, watching an entire species ecocide itself, and most of the rest of the planet, ultimately because we are too … cowardly, lazy, neurotic, greedy, take your pick, to do what would need to be done to stop it.
But that’s the joke!
The human condition.
That is the joke.
… why are we so serious?
What is all that worry and concern gonna accomplish?
Do you have an actual thing you could do, to make things better in some way, for yourself, for others?
If no: There’s nothing you can do, worrying is pointless.
If yes: Just do that then.
Don’t be deluded that you’re guaranteed, or even likely to be sucessful. That is arrogance. But there is value in trying to do the right thing, even when it seems hopeless.
Don’t worry about what is unavoidable… it will always get you, eventually. The anticipation only makes it worse, and, paradoxically… makes it more inevitable, by wasting your energy that could be spent on doing instead be spent on worrying.
Gee thanks, don’t be anxious. If only I’d thought of that.
I just half guerilla planted some shrubs in front of a nearby garage box wall that i don’t own on land that I don’t own. Take That, urban heat island!!!
… radio scanner swapping through signals, till it clears up and then…
Was it cast for the masses who starve and toil?
Or for the vultures who feast upon the spoil?
Yes a spectacle, monopolized
They hold the reins, stole your rye
All the pesticides, the bulldozers and chains
Who stuff the land with their poisoned gains
More for Monsanto and the corporate throne?
None of the above, fuck it, plant the sword
Gloves on! Guerrilla gardening!
Dig that shit up!
Gloves on! Guerrilla gardening!

I mean I get you and have echoed the sentiment. Sometimes can’t help but worry about our loved ones tho.
I understand, sometimes there are very natural reasons for concern, valid reasons, reasons that a clowny screed will likely not affect.
But the world seems awash in hopelessness and worry these days.
Succumbing totally to that… will make things worse. Ideally, all of that energy could be spent either actually trying to do something that is in some way useful… or at least not be expended on stressing yourself into an early grave.
I’m not really trying to demand people be a certain way, I’m just trying to echo the fatalism, but reorient it in a way that it might … give people permission, so to speak, to try to exist in, think from a less taxing perspective.
One must imagine Sisyphus laughing hysterically, at least sometimes, for no immediately apparent reason.
What’s happening in exactly 6 years?
If trends continue, everything will be like it is now, but slightly worse in every way.
Just like it’s been every year for a while you mean?
Exactly. That’s why it is a trend that can continue.
Alright, well, I just thought the “6 years” thing sounded so specific is all. Why not 5, or 10. Something round. 😅 So I thought there was something specific happening in 6.
Idk, gotta ask OP. But six years ago was 2020, a round year, another “warmest year since recording” that seems kinda chill from today’s perspective. Though this is yet another made up explanation after the fact.
Yeah. I’ll keep an eye out for OP to reply…
FML feels bad for current living things
Wrote this comment on a similar post 3 days ago:
While this data is presented by a company selling apartments across the globe and the text is written to explain how much travel destinations change over the coming decades, the data in it gives a clear overview of changes in 85 different cities. Anyone living in any of those 85 cities can use it to see how fucked you might be in the near and not so near future: https://www.nestpick.com/2050-climate-change-city-index/
Little spoiler: you’ll be at least a little fucked no matter where you live.
Your crystal ball telling you something?
I’ll have you know it’s made of wood
And yes. The weathers acting up.
So you mean like the political climate, or climate climate?
Yes.
Time is speeding up
This is pseudoscience, the exact thing people around here acuse the right of engaging in. Nice job spreading it.
You’re welcome to your opinions. I mean yeah it’s definitely an idea and from a scientific mindset we can use it to make predictions and see if those predictions are accurate to see if the idea is accurately modeling reality or not. The amount of novel events seems doable to define and attempt a measurement so at least as a hypothesis I wouldn’t say it’s utterly unscientific.
It doesn’t even pass the sniff test. And a YouTube video is not evidence. Before this is even entertained, there needs to be multiple replicatable experiments done independently. This is a quack on the internet.
I’m guessing you don’t know the speaker. Saying something is BS just because it’s on YouTube is interesting. What if it was a lecture by Terrence Tao on YouTube? Also just for argument sake, there’s lots of ideas taken pretty seriously in physics that aren’t directly testable, honestly border more on philosophy. Even simple things like what exactly is time, does all of spacetime exist at once as Einstein thought and so on.
