Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There's a slight misconception here, there's a longer lag time between CO2 release and its effect on warming.

What I'm saying is that we've not even begun to see the worst effects of what we've already put into the atmosphere.

Next year is already forecast to be much worse. Mostly due to El Niño making things even worse.

[–] P1r4nha@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

Yup, CO2 stays in the athmosphere for centuries. We only feel the start of the warming right now and it is not about to level off even if we stopped with all emissions tomorrow.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed. This year's spike is due to the banning of sulfur-based emissions from shipping vessels in the pacific. Sulfur emissions only last about 2 weeks in the atmosphere before being rained out, but they contribute significantly to the aerosol cooling effect.

Nah I just read on Fox News that the 1930s were hotter, the 1970s were colder than normal and were now just returning to normal.

So… Uncle Rupert says we’re good. Nothing to see here, folks.

Look on the bright side right?

[–] 6mementomori@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

bright from the heat radiation?

It's time people from the north start giving climate immigration visas.

[–] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That would be a pretty bad idea for those countries

[–] Emptiness@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Come on up, the rain is pouring!

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Climate change is showing the effects a lot more now.

[–] Ilikepornaddict@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago

But that cant be true! I'm currently dealing with one of the mildest summers ever in my region, it's all a hoax! /s just in case

God help us, and may the people responsible for this be tried

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They won’t. In fact most of them are already dead. Now we’re just dealing with their bratty kids.

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure companies like Shell still exist. There's still a lot of big polluters who don't want to be held responsible.

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If there was a God, this trend would be evidence of his ambivalence (i.e., lack of benevolence).

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It was a figure of speech, I'm agnostic

[–] PenguinJuice@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago

Can't wait!!
