Those fans must be working well in my room, I didn't feel nearly as hot on average compared to last year around the same time indoors.
Hottest 36 days ever recorded...so far.
Nobody panic!
The only people that matter, who also happen to be the ones that caused and continue to exacerbate the climate apocalypse knowingly for private profit, have built luxury bunker complexes in temperate places like New Zealand to shield themselves from the consequences of their own actions.
No one important is in danger, just us billions of disposable capital batteries, no biggie.
Now get back to work! The owners/Pharoahs/oligarchs/beloved job creators have quarterly ego score expectations to exploit out of you before you die of heat stroke as a result of your bad decisions, like being poor!
In 1988 my uncle was working as a chemist for the oil industry in Oman. When he was home he'd tell us about global warming from carbon dioxide from burning oil
In the industry they knew. In politics they knew. But it made a lot of money and they'd be dead before New York would be flooded
I wish aging had been solved back then, so those people would know they'd live to see the impending disaster
RIP Great Barrier Reef this coming southern summer
New York won't get flooded for another 100-200 years... we may still need to solve the aging problem if we want to avoid that.
Scientists knew in the early 1900s.
Solving aging won't solve anything, these sociopaths thrive in disasters, inviting and using them to amass more power and wealth across the globe, they're evil scum.
New Zealand won't be exempt from climate change and they have to come out of their bunkers at some point. I always ask myself what good their money will be when global trade collapses. How long until their security guards realize that they hold the real power?
Security guards have families, families can be held
hostagesafely in the bunker while the guards battle the hungry hordes outside.So, pretty much like every other Western country. I'm in Germany, and conservative thinking and an openly fascist party are on the rise, while everything is blamed on the Greens in the government.
The more you attempt to shift to revolution, the more you counteract real meaningful change. There are market solutions to this problem and it's called government regulation.

Successful revolution and war will not help global warming. Failure will result in a massive social shift against these ends.
This is literally idealism.
You have an idea about a market solution to the problem, and then act like you've solved the problem.
The problem isn't a lack of ideas! The problem is a lack of implementation! You have to get these ideas into the real world somehow, and revolution is the only way you can do that. There are billionaires aligned against implementing these ideas. You have to stop them.
Revolution is also more than eating the rich. Its also setting a framework for the future through non-violent action. Organizing and interacting both with local communities and national and international concerns.
When the rich send men with guns to break up your non-violent organizations and communities, you aren't going to debate them into submission.
So we all burn while you try to change the system instead of focusing on the problem at hand. Great and thanks.
Did I say that was the only thing?
Because if you ignore this now to burn down the rich, you'll be burning later anyways.
Making unrelated enemies is a quick way to burn any changes at the starting gate. The right doesn't need you existing to point to with their narrative but it sure does help it resonate with average people.
Its over man, I just look at those sad little true believers as pathetic comic relief.
They'd be the ones in the town squares pre-revolution scolding passers by for not blindly following the wisdom of their oppressive monarchs.
"Stay the course! So I can feel like I'm safe and that everything is working as it's supposed to!"
They're the peasants that revolt against their local lord while still being loyal to the king, because surely the problem is just that the king has bad advisors and the local lord is corrupt!
They're the voters stupid enough to vote against their interests, and there's no shortage of them. Serfs gonna serf.
It's not idealism. If you have a better solution that is not radical by design, go ahead. I was literally not specific intentionally. Go ahead, what instrument within the current system would work that are not regulations?
Regulations don't work when they don't get implemented, which means your ideas are purely ideas and not materialistic solutions. There aren't going to be any regulations, don't you get it? That ship has so obviously sailed.
There isn't a better solution that's not radical and that's why radical solutions all that's left!
We'll, changes won't work on your system if they don't get implemented either. If your system is a catch-all for forcing through unpopular changes, don't expect to see much success. We have implemented comprehensive environmental changes in the past but it takes time and ground work.
Which country is the model to emulate? Which country has had the successful revolution?
Many countries have successfully overthrown previous governments and implemented new ones. It depends what you mean by 'successful'.
I'm asking which ones did it by their definition of successful. Which country should we emulate?
There will be people who thought it was successful, and people who thought it was unsuccessful, in every revolution. You'd need to clarify who 'they' are.
And as for me, I'm not sure there's anything we can do about this, even with a revolution - at least with such a small number of us that actually care. If the majority actually wanted to change from the status quo, maybe then a revolution could work.
Well, I mean, historically, the USA had a very successful revolution in that they have become the greatest world power nowadays...
Even if they are a capitalist crazed two party nation, where a majority struggle to survive and they have to pay for the basic human right of healthcare, all in the name of some "free market" to help the rich get richer at their own expense.
So, you are saying we should emulate the United States? Are you following this conversation?
That's not what I said. I gave an example of a "successful" revolution.

Those are some great definitions but that doesn't change the fact that literally anyone can find someone that disagrees with these positions. Forcing them on people will not get the reaction you want. That right there throws out any thought of regulatory capture being the sole thing at play. It can hardly be considered a plutocracy when a good portion of the populous agrees with it.
Even if that is the complete reality, very few people agree with you and antidemocratic actions will result in a massive backlash.
People agree with Hitler, doesn't make them right, or worth listening to, nor does it make them willing to compromise, some people need to be forced to relinquish their incorrect and harmful opinions through violence and death.
You're relying on the wilfully ignorant and belligerent to go against their nature, and that's a level of stupidity so divorced from reality that you're effectively no different than them.
You'll sit here and argue that you're right till you're blue in the face but you'll still never change anything.
Well, I'm sure your unpopular revolution will force through all the changes our society needs. Just like they did in Germany in the 1930s.
Appeasement doesn't work, that's why we killed the Nazi's instead of waiting for them to agree with us.
You're the global warming equivalent of a Nazi apologist, so it's a bit rich when you refer to me as the one pushing a harmful agenda for caring about the survival of the human race above and beyond the ignorance of individuals.
I hate to break this to you, but these have to go hand in hand.
Government, and the individuals who make up the government, are balancing a lot of competing demands.
Until one of those demands may include the loss of use of their property, at the very least, then they will always be more incentived to overvalue the perspective of the rich. And the rich will literally say, yeah, it's bad, but we can slap a bandaid on it - 20% or the cost for 40% of the solution, that should get us by!
Some other overwhelming force will eventually be necessary to change the calculus of what an "acceptable solution" looks like. Because with your market regulation, you will always have people willing to pay the fine instead of following the rules, and if they are allowed to continue externalizing those costs to the rest of us, we will continue to have less room to request less benefit, and we will have to take what they decide to give us. Which I can almost guarantee will be pennies compared to what it costs us in the meantime.
All of those and more apply to smoking and here we are with societal level changes without a revolution that would kill millions of people. The same level of changes are happening right now at every level on response to climate change. You are not helping.
The hottest 36 days on record. Also the coolest summer we can expect to see for the rest of our lives.
People generally don't realize this, but it'll become apparent soon enough!
Laughs and sobs simultaneously
Oh, if I were an alien looking down at us little billions of ants destroying their own habitat to construct tributes to a few thousand fat ants, to the point all the ants were about to die off, I'd be tilting my head and laughing my alien ass off.
I'd be really sad, because I have empathy. Of course, maybe you'd be a psychopathic alien who laughs at injustice and pain.
Funny you say that...
This graph is the most damning. We’ve made zero progress according to the only metric that matters.
Why does the graph begin at 1959?
When should it begin?
I believe that’s the NOAA data source and they started measuring this in the late 50’s. The direct measurement data doesn’t go further back because the technology to measure and or concern wasn’t there.
That said, people have been able to extrapolate past carbon ppm through means other than direct measurement.
https://theconversation.com/scientists-understood-physics-of-climate-change-in-the-1800s-thanks-to-a-woman-named-eunice-foote-164687#:~:text=Humans%20were%20already%20increasing%20carbon,carbon%20dioxide%20into%20the%20air.
The measurements were first taken at the Mauna Loa observatory that year.
So that's why all the conservatives are laughing and cheering. I was wondering why they were celebrating. They are accomplishing their mission of killing us all.
Owning the libs will become the most common cause of death of conservatives.
"Them libs want to protest the climate issue? Well fuck em, let's burn more oil and make more profit for those companies! That'll show them snowflake protestors!"
This is literally the mindset we're up against. They've been brainwashed so hard into "owning libs", and have their tongues so far up billionaire's arseholes, they have lost any sense of empathy, sympathy, and basic intelligence. We're all fucked.
Part of the problem with being socially minded is that your representatives tend to be less inclined to abuse their power to disingenuously manipulate useful idiots. We'd rather educate them than manipulate them, but they're too stupid to know the difference.
Also of everyone else.
Don't worry, they're gearing up for the "Climate change is real, but we just need to genocide more of the people with a <100kg/yr carbon footprint to fix it" chapter of dogshit rhetoric soon.
They'll never say that in good faith because it's the rich that have the biggest carbon footprints.
My point is they'll (continue to) blame the people whose carbon footprints are <1% of theirs and would be manageable for centuries and advocate for genocide as a solution.
Currently blaming the global south is just used to deflect.
Killing everyone will kill more liberals than conservatives, so it's a net positive for them!
See you next summer.
This will be the coolest summer you ever experience.
Nah, that will be 2027. After the current El Nino oscillation but before the 50 degree summers start.
Fun fact: All this probably happened because we stopped to geoengineer by outlawing ships blowing sulphur into the air which created additional cloud cover. That is, this year isn't really exceptional climate-change wise, it's just that we could witness, by fortuitous natural experiment, how much worse it actually already is... as well as that we can limit the impact by geoengineering. It works, and without wrecking havoc on the overall system.
And the good news is that we don't need to blow sulphur into the air to generate clouds, the same effect can be had by blowing salt water into the air, just strap a couple of water cannons to every cargo ship. No I'm dead serious.
You have your causality running backwards... this was already here, and the sulfur was masking it. This happened because we put so many GHG in the air.
Europe is the one that initiated the sulfur reductions. With the additional dimming data now available, they reviewed it to determine how much damage had been caused. The conclusion? The benefits of reducing sulfur actually outweigh the damage of unmasked warming. The plan for further reductions was upheld.
If we mask radiative forcing, we don't want to be doing it with sulfur. That leads to acid rain, ocean acidification, and asthma and other diseases. CaCO3 is a candidate. The long-term consequences of any candidate is unknown. Except that we know that the less sulfur raining down on us and the fish in general, the better.
Which is what I said?
It was probably framing it like
Instead of something like “we noticed the effects of climate change exceptionally this year because we stopped blowing sulphur (…)”. Yes, this is probably pedantic in a room where everyone understands anthropocentric climate change. Still, I can understand why some people might want to be extremely clear with how we use language regarding this topic, given… Everything that’s going on.
Except that wasn't the only effect driving even the short term warming spike, masking the problem isn't fixing it, and the global north has an absolutely stellar track record of not giving a single fuck about the negative consequences of large scale engineering projects on the global south.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71jlEyIc1Pk for some commentary with nuance.
Yeah, conservatives literally need to be burning alive to acknowledge there is something going on with the temperatures/climaze
No actually they'll burn alive, die on ventilators, and enjoy dying just to prove a non-existent point.
Covid taught us that.
I like your climate bio-engineering project idea, but I don't think it needs to be that large scale. For the 2000 or so conservatives actually in control of the talking points, that's what, about 200 tonnes of CO2 emissions? Maybe need some extra fuel so call it 1000. Seems like a worthwhile tradeoff.
Tldw: Hank Green video.
Thanks for this info. Really enjoyed learning something hopeful
Thank You Hank Green, that man is a treasure
It is totally terrifying but also very strange to read about the record heat everywhere while we here in Germany had probably the coldest July in a decade. We had 16C where we should have had 30C. And we had rain, a lot of rain.
Still, I'm terrified.
The world average temperature is up. Locally this puts more energy in weather
Taller storms, bigger hail, more cyclones/typhoons/hurricanes earlier and later in the season
Apparently the average is up in Germany, you just haven’t had any extremes this year.
https://twitter.com/rarohde/status/1688486834890854401?s=46&t=041FqqqpppFjW7CoNV9wDw
I saw hail in fucking July in the Netherlands...
Also lots of rain of course.
Shit's getting crazier and crazier.
Yeah July was basically November
Jup, my "Summer Vacation" is now over. Very pissed off about the weather
Yeah where I'm at in southwest Ohio in the US it has been one of the coolest, wettest summers also. So in order for the average to be the highest ever, other places had to be extra, extra hot.
Colorado has been abnormally cool for August. So far it’s 5°F cooler than normal and the coolest it’s been in 6 years. July was exactly average at 80°F. But the weather has been crazy rainy for an arid climate.
... also the coolest 36 days of summer of the rest of our life
Phoenix just broke its record for consecutive days over 110° at 31, previous record was half that...
Cincinnati only had two days over 90 total all summer so far. I think we may get another day this week. Phoenix is getting all of our heat.
Some didn't survive & that's a problem.
lol git gud
Every day people dei, but hey, more were born so.... That is how life works
Not a helpful sentiment
Easy to say until one day it’s you.
Jesus fuck I wish you fascists would stay in hiding. Let the non-sociopaths make decisions that'll help people not die and just stay out of public discourse.
You first. If that's what you want, then you should get it first.
Not maybe, if you want death you should go first, or are you a coward?
Why are you so offended? You want people to die, you get to go first. Don't whinge like a child about how we don't want people to die just because we want you to move to the front of the line.
When you feel it's ok the let people die then we will agree with you, it is OK to let people die, but if that is what you want then you get an express ticket to the front of the line. Why so mad about being first?
You should slap your father for not having the common decency to wipe you on the curtains.
I can't see their comments anymore, but there's a rash of trolls going on about "welp people die", and it really irks me. Thanks for taking them on. Maybe since they disappeared from the conversation, they led by example!

Oil barrons merely see global warming as yet another catastrophe to take advantage of for power and profit, they will have their companies pump oil til there's not a single drop left to pump anywhere, using every excuse they can find to keep pumping and polluting while evading taxes and regulation as much as possible. They are evil scum and belong in jail for their lies and behavior.

Drug dealers are arguably pretty evil...but there is undeniably huge demand for the products. And getting rid of a dealer won't solve addiction itself.
In Maui, some of us didn't survive :(
43 ºC in my town today. Now we are at 32 ºC and is 23:00.
This is hell.
What do we win? I hope someone makes a movie about us.
the movie 2012 comes to mind for whatever reason lol
'Don' t look up' it's a depressing documentary dressed up as a dark comedy focusing on the incapacity of competence to sway the tide of general ignorance.
Next species would make plushies after us, like we did with dinosaurs. Cute little featherless bipeds. 2990-3000s would also see a cartoon where humans would sing about friendship, turning some kids into human-geeks.
What's this "we survived?" dies
Meanwhile in germany: 13°C and endless rain.
Extremes getting more extreme.
Tomorrow is going to be 37
That was just to August 6th. The last 4 days were also the hottest, so 40 days now. Assuming today is also the hottest August 11, tomorrow will be actually be 41. :)
We know that one of the worst producers of greenhouse gases is cattle, so, eating a plant based diet would do wonders for the world.
But people prefer to complain and do nothing.
Individual action accomplishes nothing.
Go look up the impact that COVID had on pollution. In April and May 2020, with the airlines no longer operating as usual, pollution levels experienced a historic drop.
This isn't on the individual. It's on systemic, widely accepted pollution practices.
Oh good! I'm glad I, as an individual, don't have to do anything. I was getting worried I would be inconvenienced somehow.
If people don't feel any sense of personal responsibility or obligation, good luck getting those same people to advocate for systemic change.
"But what about China, India, the US, private jets" they said after ordering a steak.
"My private jet emits nothing compared to all those people eating beef, the CEO said"
"Why should we as a developing country need to cut carbon while families in rich countries have 2 cars and eat steak"
And in the meantime the world kept getting warmer. Whataboutism is going to be the end of us. Some people/countries are not going to care. This means that those who do are unfortunately going to have to do more. Not throw in the towel.
Instead we should be doing everything we can and tell others to do the same. While doing this, doing what we can to keep it fair to get more people on board.
Tl;dr: Go vegan. I can do it and I'm not special, so you can do it too.
It's important to keep in mind that the choices you can make are limited to those choices that are actually yours to make.
It doesn't matter how serious you perceive a problem to be. You don't get to pick whether some family you've never met in Bangladesh eats pork for dinner tonight. Not your choice.
You can choose to engage in political advocacy, but while your political advocacy may have effects, those effects will almost never be to allow you to chose worldwide policies.
Even when political movements partially succeed, the outcome may be to make things much worse. Environmentalists today need to very seriously consider the question of whether today's climate crisis is the direct result of the success of the anti-nuclear movement 50 years ago.
I can't make other people's choices, but I can support policies that make polluting more costly. For example, included in this would be slashing many agriculture subsidies. It doesn't make any sense to subsidize dairy farmers and it creates unfair competition for non-dairy alternatives.
Come on, be reasonable. These things are at the bottom of any vegan's list who are concerned with the environment. The carbon footprint of people living in Bangladesh is very small and people have way less means to make changes to their routines.
Ask yourself, why be concerned with environmentalists if the earth is burning and drowning at the same time. Part of the UK is going to disappear, by 2050 200,000 houses and businesses will be gone. Jakarta will too along with Dhaka, Lagos and many more densely populated areas. This isn't far away in the future, but it has already started.
By 2100 22% of land that was well suited for habitation won't be anymore, including California.
There is nothing environmentalist about these facts, they are not controversial in the scientific community. But in any case, they are so serious that it seems odd to focus on the unintended side effects of environmentalism. If anything, we need more of it now than ever.
It'd be a bit much to identify that as the one single cause of climate change. The carbon footprint per capita in France is lower than that of the UK but still not low enough. But yea, the anti-nuclear movement sure doesn't help today.
Oh btw, current Western meat based diets are not compatible with a low enough footprint to combat climate change. People are going to have to eat way less meat and dairy.
Actually, some of us didnt
Yeap, every day people die
Again, you're not being very helpful. Take your weird existential nihilism somewhere else, please
On sorry, I thought no people die when "the pmanet was not hot" lol
Relevant vlogbrothers video about why this particular summer is hotter.
https://youtu.be/dk8pwE3IByg
Now that we have an idea of how much ocean cloud cover can produce a certain amount of global cooling we can find other, better ways of doing it in a controlled manner.
Nukes could help
If we put them on high population centres it will have long term effects too.
Hunga Tunga Hunga Ha'apai didn't help either. Instead of just the usual global cooling sulfur dioxide, this particular volcano was under water enough that it launched massive amounts of water vapor into the atmosphere, which has greenhouse effects. Add that all together on top of the chronic climate change and you get this summer.

Couldn't the massive fires (energy and compounds generated) exacerbate these values?
Don't make me say what I didn't say.
No actually fires have an overall negative (lowering) effect on temperatures, because the smoke reduces the sun energy from reaching land over large areas, it’s been well established that areas affected by smoke will have lower peak temps than they otherwise would have. Except it can cause temps to stay higher overnight by preventing the heat from escaping into atmosphere.
But in terms of highest temps ever recorded.. it doesn’t seem fires would contribute to that at all, more just a consequence of the high temps (drying effect).
Thank you, but I was talking about heat generated by the fires and compound build-up (eg: co2), while the last one might bring its effects later.
Just to be sure, I talk about these figures, not the global climate deregulation.
Hottest so far.
Isolated islands catching on fire because it's so goddamn hot doesn't feel like surviving.
That's not true
Continents are also on fire
666 upvotes lol. It's hot as hell
…since 1979
Edit: not saying there’s not a climate change disaster happening, but some of these analyses are a little misleading.
Except that to only say "...since 1979" is to comment in either ignorance or bad faith (your pick). We maintained record breaking temps ALL above the prior record for 36 is the damn point, and to miss that is to miss the entire thing.
There have been 44 years since 1979. Lets say the probability of getting 1 day above the 1979 record in a given year is 1/44 (uniform). The probability of even getting a week of the hottest days in one year would be (1/44)^7, would be a one in 300 billion chance. There are some issues and some assumptions I'm making for convenience, but its not ok to make idle comments with no comprehension of the scale of extremity this event represents.
As in, do you have any fucking idea how unlikely that is? This isn't an 'oopsie poopsie' funny record event.
Not to be too pedantic but your back of the envelope probabilities are based on inaccurate assumptions and probably several orders of magnitude off. Specifically, your not just assuming uniform but also independent from one day to the next. A more accurate treatment would be to assume conditional dependence from one day to the next (the Markov property). Once you have a record hot day, you are significantly more likely to have another record hot day following it.
That said, it’s still low probability, just not as low as what you’re saying.
Any thoughts on how I could incorporate that for a better back of the napkin?
(Also, that number is only consider that the number presented was based on 7 independent events, not 34)
If we stick with your 1/44 assumption, we can then assume 50% chance that the following day will also be a record setting day (probably too low still but the math is easier). Your one week estimate would be (1/44)*(1/2)^6.
So the 36-day would just have a ^35 on the end instead 6, if I'm following?
While @[email protected] is right about me not being right, I'm not sure their implementation is correct either. I grabbed the data sheet from here, and have calculated the following probabilities. Now that I'm invested I really want to get this 'right'.
This the work book I'm in.
I think its most fair to calculate this using the marginal probability of the next day being warmer for a given month. Some months are generally warming, some generally cooling, so it makes sense to base the marginal probability of the next day being warmer for a specific month (rather than all months). The probability of a given day in July being warmer than the previous day is 0.615. So pretty close to 50/50, but better to be precise. I think if we're going to go this way, we can also give ourselves the liberty of not starting on July first, but rather then trend can start any time in July.
So now the math becomes: State one is defined as the probability of having a record warm day in July: 1/44 *days in July State two is defined as the probability the next day being warmer than the previous in July : 0.615
Which when I put it into this calculator, we get.. .9981? This seems extremely low. So much so, I think either the markov chain is implemented wrong, or that the markov principal doesn't apply here.
This would put the probability of a summer like the one as a one in 500-ish year occurrence. My understanding and read of the news is that this is an event that is on the scale of 'has never happened before'.
Update:
So I am still not confident in the markov implementation but I put together another approach. I did a one sided T-test of this July versus all the previous Julys.
Here is a plot of that (month is on the X).
T-statistic came in too low to calculate a p-value.
You did not calculate that right. What I wrote comes out to 1/2816, which is fully 8 orders more likely than your initial estimate. And this number is still probably a lot lower than the true probability.
There are A LOT of independent lines of evidence that point very strongly to the conclusion that humans are causing a massively disruptive change to the earth’s climate. This heatwave is not the nail in the coffin, it’s just (small) data point. Trying to oversell it like you are only serves to entrench deniers who will assume that you are making an intentionally misleading argument.
While the data presented here only goes back to 1979, I seem to recall that some scientists worked out global average temperatures based on coral reef core samples and ice core samples. I think there were some other samples too but I can't remember what they were. So they are the hottest ever
I can't find any indication that 1979 had a 36-day heatwave with anything approaching the temperatures we're seeing.
I think the significance of 1979 is that's when we started keeping track of an overall global temperature day by day...
Not terribly significant. The length, number of heat records broken, and sheer catastrophic scale of this heatwave is unprecedented. We don't have any reason to think anything remotely like this has happened in human history, and the fact that we didn't have the means to track the entire planet's average temperature prior to 1979 doesn't negate that.
Hawaii is on fire. Oregon is on fire. Canada is on fire. California is on fire. The winter in the southern hemisphere is unprecedentedly warm, and much of Australia burned over their summer. It's going to burn again.
This is an emergency.
Yeap, agree
For the hell of it, I checked the list of hottest temperatures recorded and the top for the US was in 1913, Sweeden 1933, Russia 2010, and Germany/France 2019 (for just a small selection of countries). Very few were from this year and many weren't even in the last half century.
https://en.wikipedia.org//wiki/List_of_weather_records#Highest_temperatures_ever_recorded
You're downvoted because you're comparing one day record temp to a full month of record highs.
Also, a large part of the reason the global average temperature is high is because the Southern hemisphere is having a very warm winter.
Comparing global average to local max temperatures is also wrong.
Much of eastern North America is having a relatively cool summer thanks to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Temps in my area have barely broken 85F/30C all summer
Oh good, maybe the smoke from everything being on fire will cool us down!
/s
Here in Minnesota we've gotten plenty of heat, humidity and smoke, which has been just super fun. The entirety of the last month has felt like living in a pack-a-day smoker's lungs.
Also, a lot of people doubt that 1913 record's authenticity.
This morning my lights went out and had to sleep without AC, I sweat like a pig.
Pigs don't sweat, hence why they roll around in mud
well there was where earth was young
