    Ahaha we’re so fucked. The sea temperature is not just higher, it was rising the whole previois year and it’s flatter than in the past. Say goodbye to seasons, we’re heading into the “flood season and heatwave season” territory. Last year I heard top scientists saying “it’s bad and anomalous but not exponential”, this looks… increasingly exponential.

      Violence. I hate it, but that’s the plan. Fight to survive by any means necessary. Things are going to get real scarce.

      Community is definitely the winning ticket though. Get neighbors you trust.

      Plans? That’s the scandal. By wiping out the stability of the climate, these oil fuckers have nullified ALL of our plans. Effectively they have ruined everyone’s ability to plan for ANYTHING going forward. It’s a crime against time and it’s inhabitants. The scale of the violation is incomprehensible.

      Build community. Foster social trust. Work to end fossil fuels. Move if you must

    Hank Green made a video blaming this on changing regulations on shipping fuel. We were essentially geohacking by sending clouds of particulates into the air when burning the fuel, they blocked the sun temporarily but made global warming worse in the long term.

    So by changing fuel standards, we basically pulled forward some warming to minimize the total amount of warming. Which is good that we are reducing the total warming, but obviously jarring in the short term.

    If that is an accurate read, it isn’t going to go back down. Hopefully it spurs us into action so it doesn’t get much worse.

      I’ve been interested in seeing those cargo ship sized sails they’ve rigged up for cutting down on fuel use.

    Is the boiling frog apalogue true? Stay tuned and find out.

    if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.

      Just a heads-up that the original experiment was done with a frog that had its brain removed. Also, a frog put into boiling water will also not jump out since it will be dead.

        Yeah I know this is fake but the funny part is humans are slowly burning themselves to death and half of them don’t realize it.
