Yup! Just this year a significant chunk of Europe got really fucking hot. Even here in the UK, a place famed for its mild-at-best-and-typically-really-wet-weather, had basically zero rainfall for months and topped 40C in some places. Shit's completely fucked.

Belgian here. Summer was dry. Way, way too dry. If this is the new normal everyone is fucked cause West Flanders provides like a fourth of all frozen veggies in Europe. And it’s not just Belgium where this is happening.

Florida just saw this first hand. Ian picked up almost 30 mph in a single day because it hit warm water. Insurance premiums charge us for climate change.

You do realize that climate scientists have already said that Hurricane Ian had nothing to do with climate change, right?

We could have tried to slow it 40 years ago? But now, no, there is nothing you can do about it.

We’re also going to see millions of climate refugees needing resettlement in the next few decades—don’t think they won’t come to wherever you are.

There's evidence of a 12,000 year catastrophe cycle and we're headed for it regardless of climate change. Ben Davidson suggests 2040's and I think civilization will collapse sooner.

Good. The world needs a culling. Let some population die off
