14°C = 57°F
This is the coldest Christmas you’ll have from here on… It’ll only get warmer.
Not really how climate change works. While the average global temperature will trend higher, there will be colder and hotter seasons, each getting more extreme as they go back and forth. There will be hotter heat waves and colder cold snaps.
Wanna know a fun fact?
Air conditioning stops working effectively around 120F and decreases in efficiency as it gets hotter because the condenser cannot effectively discharge heat into the air.
Freshwater sources are drying up worldwide with absolute proof and nobody cares.
Take a serious look at moving somewhere moderate. The ultra wealthy are all building fortified compounds in the Michigan peninsula. Why?
Oh, of course, no doubt! I’m a child if late middle 80’s, growing up in a western coast in Norway. There was always snow during winter. The last 15 years has shown MAYBE a day or two of snow, then warmer again.
And then we had the sudden cold for a couple of weeks, which postponed the construction of a new parking lot with about two months due to the frost in the ground (there was something like a sudden 2-3 weeks of -10 Celsius).
Then we have the summer of 18 in Europe. Even Norway was so dry everything turned yellow.
It happens, but I do think that in some climates, like Norway, it’ll mostly get warmer with the freak occurrence of cold/heat (depending on the season). My previous comment is for the general term, not to be taken literally.
And thank you! I’ve missed having a constructive discussions on the internet. Happy holidays!
You wouldn’t happen to be taking a picture of a screen from a gasoline-powered car, are you?
Gas cars contribute for sure, but so do electric cars, heating houses, manufacturing, you name it. If everyone switched to riding bicycles tomorrow it wouldn’t make a huge difference. I’d like to see something like that happen over time, sure, but in this case you’re wrong to accuse OP of causing climate change (assuming you’re one of the anti-car bunch that’s everywhere on Lemmy. Sorry if I’m wrong about that).
I’m not an anti-car person. I also understand that we live in the world we are presented with, and there is a significant systemic oil culture that is difficult and expensive to not consume. I just thought this photo was a little ironic.
Here in Brazil, June is the cold month, and December, the hot month. So Christmas here is naturally warm/hot.
Laughs in Australian with regular +30°C Christmases
Meanwhile here in Adelaide…A drizzle of rain and a top of 18C
What. The. Fuck.
Not that 40+ is close to okay but I think I’d still be a little worried if you or op were having christmases like what we used to experience up here until like the late ‘00s
Yeah, we had 27 yesterday (Christmas eve) and light rain all day. Very uncomfortable for New Zealand. At least today is a tad cooler
