Hold up, am I crazy or is this showing that the temperature at the North pole was 15 °C in January? What's the source of the picture? What were usual readings in previous years?
I just hope my 40s suck less. I’m almost stable and my country is probably going to collapse. And then the ecosystem around us will follow suit, yaaaay…
I have some people to jointly buy land with, and a zero waste, zero emission farm plan in place to weather the storm. Maybe. If we can all get our shit together super soon.. it won’t be much but it’ll be ours and we’ll defend it fiercely. It’s the American way.
We’ll definitely be a local stop on the railroad, though, and I already know others who will do the same.
In your 40s your body begins to break down. Often your mind slows down too. And you'll have people relying on you, whether at work as a senior colleague, your children, your aging parents/other relatives, your friends whose bodies have begun to break down, or whatever responsibilities/opportunities you've taken in your various communities.
There was hope then at least - eating ramen and working three jobs because the degree and the work was supposed to make things better. But then hitting your thirties and realizing that the mistake you made wasn’t being born wealthy.
This is so true for real. When I was in my 20s it's true, I had ramen almost every day, but I also had a constant friend group I was always around. I never went to college but I was close with highschool friends for years, until mid to late 20s. Then it just... Stopped.
The crazy thing is, when i was in my 20s, it was a common joke on the internet that people in their 30s or earlier don't have friends. I always thought that is some post rafe comic le funny meme. I had so many friends that i saw daily. I had too many friend groups, too much things to do with them. At the end of my 20s it suddenly stopped. It wasn't that one friend after the other had a change in lifestyle or whatever, but now getting 4 friends together at the same time, seems utopian. One of my friends got married and like 6 of us met to have a good time together. Everyone was like: why don't we do that more often? We should do that again. That was over 2 years ago and we in fact did not do that again.
Only if you get student loans. Just don't go to college! It's not like the world needs doctors, scientists, engineers, dentists, teachers, meteorologists, judges, librarians, well-educated citizens in general... Oh wait.
The same logistics and industrial development that allows you the luxury of studying to increase the value of your work output, the luxury of ennui that gives you philosophical dread on your idle hours while others would kill to be on your not-working-in-cobalt-mines shoes while being fed and safe enough to sleep, all this while having thrived up to an age that for most of human history has basically senility, is the one that gives you the climate change
allows you the luxury of studying to increase the value of your work output
I've always wanted more value from my work output! Or contentment and self-actualization, it was one or the other.
luxury of ennui that gives you philosophical dread on your idle hours
I'm assuming you mean that those idle hours are the luxury? Because I'm pretty sure tedium and boredom existed in the fields and cobalt mines long before it got a fancy French name.
others would kill to be on your not-working-in-cobalt-mines shoes while being fed and safe
Relative privation?
Also, is eating ramen being fed? Is it safety if you're one illness and insurance fuckup, or a job loss and six(?) months, away from homelessness?
this while having thrived up to an age that for most of human history has basically senility
Extreme infant and childhood mortality explains most of the short historical lifespans. 30 was never senility.
The same logistics and industrial development... is the one that gives you the climate change.
Every step of towards lessening greenhouse gases brings us closer to the fall of western civilization! Fly more, abolish public transportation, eat only beef, set your AC so low you have to wear a sweater!
no need to wait

I think it means 15C warmer than before the industrial revolution
It looks like it's relative to the 2004-2013 average, actually. Note the years listed at the bottom.
I think it's showing it's 15 degrees warmer than normal, if I read it right.

They're gonna be wishing ramen was as cheap as it was when they were young.
/me cracks egg into ramen
The new avocado toast.
Put avovado toast into ramen with eggs, now say goodbye to ever owning your home.
This is why you can't afford a house

I have terrible news about your 30s...
I just hope my 40s suck less. I’m almost stable and my country is probably going to collapse. And then the ecosystem around us will follow suit, yaaaay…

None of those things apply to me so I’m still hopeful. :)

It gets worse when you get a kid, cant sleep at night, and a house mortgage for life. Just figured I would cheer you up. :p
Shitty? Those were the best times, it's all downhill from there.
This is so true for real. When I was in my 20s it's true, I had ramen almost every day, but I also had a constant friend group I was always around. I never went to college but I was close with highschool friends for years, until mid to late 20s. Then it just... Stopped.

What's this "waiting" bullshit?
It's chill, we're all gonna die of cancer from all the microplastics in our brains anyway. Or in Civil War II or something. Whatever.
And more ramen!
Well at least you get to retire eventually.
Lol. JK. You're going to be a wage slave until you die, probably during the climate change induced famine.
I didn’t even get that fun shit. I became disabled and bedridden young
Also, more ramen in your thirties.
At least in my 40s I can afford to add an egg.
Look at Mr. Moneybags over here with his egg.
Dude in my 40,s can't afford the egg. It getting rough out here.
I can't even eat the ramen any more. I found out I have celiac.
That's why I spent my 20s doing drugs and banging everything that glanced in my general direction.
I am also no longer allowed at the zoo
I never was. As a precaution.
Or the art museum?
My man
Climate change waits for no one.
The reward waiting for you at the end is crippling debt.
Only if you get student loans. Just don't go to college! It's not like the world needs doctors, scientists, engineers, dentists, teachers, meteorologists, judges, librarians, well-educated citizens in general... Oh wait.
A climate crisis! Global famine coming soon!
It'll be like the Mad Max series with fewer cars and more cannibalism. (You think I'm kidding?)
All that ramen is probably imported from Asia, so pound for pound quite an environmental travesty.
Actually a lot of it is made in the US. Shin Ramen, for example, is from Korea, but all the packages I've seen are made in a factory in California.
Don’t forget the oligarchy!
*broligarchy
You're right - the climate is a-changin'!

You know what you need to do.
