A yellow-orange haze of dust from the Sahara desert has blanketed parts of Greece, creating spectacular scenes and prompting authorities to issue health warnings.
That thumbnail fucking looks like Mars
As someone in BC it honestly just looks like they’ve got a nearby forest fire, it gets absolutely insane here in fire season.
What does BC mean? I highly doubt it stands for Before Christ in this case.
There are people who believe we moved from Mars to Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago because we made it the dusty, uninhabitable planet it is today.
It seems really far-fetched, and the theory is full of obvious problems. But then you see news like this and can’t help but wonder…
(My heart goes out to all of you who became so terribly offended by this.)
It’s far fetched because there’s literally no evidence of this anywhere other than someone’s imagination.
I’ve never understood these ‘We had amazing technology but then just kind of forgot’ conspiracy theories.
Desert is spreading. Not terrible, not great…
Pretty sure it’s terrible. It’s not terrible for the overall ecosystem of the world but if major Europran cities suffer desertification as well we’re going to have a huge infrastructure and migrant crisis on our hands. But don’t fret Americans, please keep trying to destroy the EPA and ensure you can burn the dirtiest of coals… and Germany, don’t forget to transition off nuclear and back to coal and gas for the uh… environment?
The german energy mix is pretty good actually. About 60% is renewable. And a lot the infrastructure was build during our last legislation period. The early transition off nuclear was definitely a mistake but nothing we can reverse now. But even if we count nuclear as renewable, Germany is still way ahead of most big countries.
Yea, I think Germany is doing well to make up for that transition but it’s still something that hurts me to the core - especially since it was so strongly pushed for by the Greens.

There are browser extensions to deal with it
Tiktok probably doesnt like some privacy features/extensions you use. Try using incognito in another browser that doesnt have those(like edge).
Waking up and finding out that it’s snowing in April was super fun. It snowed for two days almost straight and all tram traffic stopped because their power line thingies froze. Isn’t climate change awesome?
I’m actually surprised snow is unusual in the spring in Helsinki.
Fair enough. I associate Finland with snow like it’s some sort of European Hoth.
