A warm start to the winter season has left the Great Lakes virtually ice-free and with their lowest ice cover to kick off a new year in at least 50 years.
On New Year’s Day, only 0.35% of the Great Lakes were covered in ice, the lowest on record for the date, and well below the historical average of nearly 10% for this point in winter, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL).
This year’s missing ice in the Great Lakes adds to a growing trend of winter ailments plaguing the US, from dwindling snowpacks in the West to an ongoing snow drought in the Northeast, all becoming more common due to warming temperatures from the climate crisis.
Weird, seems like maybe we’ve destroyed the climate. Who could have predicted this?
About the second coming:
The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
It’s low key why a lot if people don’t want to do anything about it, they see it as the second coming of Christ
most of you are too chickenshit to put the heads of those responsible on a stake and that’s why we’re where we’re at.
it takes a mob. this is what the internet is for: so citizens can organize. they can’t stop all of us.
Then maybe calling out the people in this thread for something you aren’t doing yourself isn’t a great idea. You’re not calling out a mob, you’re calling out us.
True, I am too ‘chickenshit’ to go on my own to a person who almost definitely has multiple armed security guards to kill them and put their head on a stake. Why haven’t you done it yet? Too ‘chickenshit?’
it takes a mob. this is what the internet is for: so citizens can organize. they can’t stop all of us.
Okay, who have you organized so far for this mob? Where and when are they meeting?
I bet you’re too chicken shit to go self immolate on the white house lawn, too.
Do you think The Purge is real or something? One day we can just kill people that deserve it?
The rich and corporations are killing our planet. They don’t care if we die and people would rather save a hundred bucks on taxes than vote in their best interest.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. If there was a viable green alternative to transportation granted to us by our overlords, I’m sure most people would choose it.
You mean like taking a bike or walking? Let’s not be silly here, I live in a small town right outside a big city. There is a train in my town that goes into the city, it’s highly walkable, there are buses that run within a block of my house into the city. . .and people still drive everywhere.
We’re all to blame for this. While I think the best way to tackle it is to put the burden on the corporations, as it’s much easier to centralize the changes, trying to pretend like the individual has no say in this is the same blame shift of corporations trying to claim it’s the individual who needs to change. Everyone wants it to be convenient and cheap and fast. We all need to shift how we think about things.
Fellas, it’s been good to know ya.
