let that sink in
agree, it’s too high
We’ll be letting a lot of things sink in over the next 50 years
Waterworld time
Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.
which state if you do not mind me asking?
Florida. Can’t talk about climate change.
Oh, now you’ve done it.
Oh that’s fine then. Just call it the climate emergency or catastrophe.
I think climate is on the list of bad words.
Knowing the political party, probably also “change”
Aren’t they drowning and insurance companies there aren’t covering flood damage?
What’s the explanation for that?
God punishing wokeness, probably
remember the california fires, insurance isnt covering houses that people KNOWINGLY built in fire prone areas.
CLEARLY the intensifying hurricanes and rising water levels are the work of THE WOKE LEFT and their EVIL WEATHER WEAPONS powered by JEWISH MAGIC SPACE LASERS!!!
/s
Florida is falling apart and sinking into the ocean, and it’s their own damn fault. Insurance is no longer covering storms and flooding because both are getting SO common and SO extreme that by the time they’ve finalized payment for one case, the same party has filed 3 more. This is further exasperated by the rampant suburban sprawl Florida is known for, as they bulldozed and developed the coastal flood zones (read: the everglades, the swamps, the coves and inlets, all the little islands and water features that help mitigate storm damage) in order to build more fucking McMansion neighborhoods for retiring Boomers, only for them to get washed away in the next storm. Add on to this an openly Fascist and anti-urban development/public infrastructure (except highways, always more money for highways! Just one more lane bro, we promise!) government, and you get Modern Florida.
Honestly, the best thing that could happen for Florida is if everyone left it, and they ceded it back to the wildlife. We failed, give it up, and move on.
we know its getting badin florida has very little news coming out of it, due to all the trump shaninigans recently. hows the tourism going on there, DISNEY? whos picking your oranges in florida?
The orange trees are dying from fungus anyway. Monoculture and climate change were gonna kill OJ at some point anyway. That’s why it’s coming in smaller plastic bottles for higher prices already. Right? It’s not just naked profiteering, right?
As a geologist I think the deep time context makes this pretty interesting. Florida is a shallow limestone platform that was built underwater. It’s only been above ground for the past few million years because recently our planet has had a lot of polar ice cover. Its position above sea level is just as anomalous as the insane developmental practices of the boomers. So it’s fitting that they both go down together now, although it’s unfortunate for all of the people who suffer needlessly because of their arrogance.
I hope successive generations will learn to live in harmony with nature and accept that their actions have consequences outside of their tiny worldview.
Don’t forget their ‘solution’ to this is to uh, checks notes, abolish property taxes… and replace the lost revenue with increased sales taxes.
In a state massively reliant on tourism.
I concur, Florida is completely a lost cause, the best thing to do would indeed be to just let nature reclaim it, the humans that live there largely won’t in 10 to 20 years,.no matter what is done, at this point.
Democrat weather machine.
in RA2, the allies has a weather machine as a superweapon.
I don’t remember that in Ride Along 2?
It’s the “globalists” with their weather machines, obviously.
The explanation is that conservative boomers are very, very well versed in gaslighting, enforcing reality denial on others, to keep themselves from ever having to entertain the the idea that they were ever wrong about anything, ever.
… and if they were wrong, it wasn’t a big deal, and if it was a big deal, then you deserved it, and if you didn’t deserve it, then it doesn’t matter in the long run because in the long run we are all dead, etc, ad infinitum.
Floriduh is one of my favorite tropes.
It’s the height of irony that one of the states spearheading the disinfo campaign is the one that will cease to exist first because of it.
Burn it down. Wait, no, that would contribute to climate change

Burn only the ac units. Would solve the problem and be a help in reducing energy emissions.
Yes burning things like plastic and electronics and coolant would totally help the environment. 🙄
Not just coolant, but extremely environmentally hazardous refrigerants.
D’nile I would assume.
It’s a shame all the people most likely to go on about Nineteen Eighty-Four (the far right nut jobs), don’t recognise this as Newspeak. And actively support their own oppressors.
What the actual fuck, what state is this?
Man made climate disaster? Man made climate warming?
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…
Norway doesn’t have a lot of air conditioners
Why would they need air conditioning with their heads in a guillotine basket?
To keep their executioners nice and cool.
They’re already pretty cool in my book.
Noice. I see what you did there. 🪓💀🩸🪦 ( •_•)>⌐■-■ 😎
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
Wikipedia Article about The Organization
Edit: Links
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.
Don’t worry; it’s only temporary.
'Course, once it stops Norway will have a much worse problem.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
That graph has just one month of data. For all we know it could be a regular occurance for this month. And equally low on the opposite side resulting in the average.
That said. Duh, even many republicans agree the climate is changing. They just argue tha we didn’t cause it. Like that will really matter when we are all dead from doing nothing.
12 consecutive days is definitely less than a month, yes
Not on Mercury
All the other lines are past years, and the dotted one in the middle that says “average” means the average of all the lines. So, isn’t a regular ocorrence.
Is there something on there that I missed which says what the other lines are?
Your high school class were they teach you how to interpret graphics
Mine taught me to clearly label my graphs.
Once and for all
Just like daddy drops in his drink. … And then he gets maaad.
On the bright side we may uncover more Otzis.
So Norway is warming up? Imagine the pristine year round hiking in those mountains. Beautiful if not for the horrors that got us here.
Well no. We have around 20% increase in rain as well as higher temperatures. So unless you fancy hiking in a swamp we were better off with the snow.
I feel lucky if I get one good ski trip a season these days. It’s awful.
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.
Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.
We’re so fucked
Yeah I’m in the middle of visiting Germany, Austria, and Slovenia over five weeks, and I did not pack enough warm clothes
We’re at 20-25, unless you mean see some other lowlands 🤔
Zurich for example
Maybe lowlands isn’t the best word but it’s not high up in the alps
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.
Must be some parallel universe central Europe …

Man, those libs are sure working overtime selling their hoax.
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.
Of course.
It’s a conspiracy I tell you, the operators of all 250,000 worldwide weather stations are in a coordinated effort to misreport temperatures
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.
Honestly, I like rain. I lived for a long time in a place that was almost always sunny, with summer temps getting into the high 30s.
Again governments that work twice as hard to kill 2 millions people in Palestine, and look at how to use the land afterward, have no reason or intention of saving people. The will be thinking how to use the situation to make more money.
I’ve been told that AI will fix this
“Just need to melt a few more ice caps and my LLM will have the solution to preventing the ice caps from melting!”
