Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (2 children)

which state if you do not mind me asking?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 93 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Florida. Can’t talk about climate change.

Aren't they drowning and insurance companies there aren't covering flood damage?

What's the explanation for that?

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (4 children)

CLEARLY the intensifying hurricanes and rising water levels are the work of THE WOKE LEFT and their EVIL WEATHER WEAPONS powered by JEWISH MAGIC SPACE LASERS!!!

/s

Florida is falling apart and sinking into the ocean, and it's their own damn fault. Insurance is no longer covering storms and flooding because both are getting SO common and SO extreme that by the time they've finalized payment for one case, the same party has filed 3 more. This is further exasperated by the rampant suburban sprawl Florida is known for, as they bulldozed and developed the coastal flood zones (read: the everglades, the swamps, the coves and inlets, all the little islands and water features that help mitigate storm damage) in order to build more fucking McMansion neighborhoods for retiring Boomers, only for them to get washed away in the next storm. Add on to this an openly Fascist and anti-urban development/public infrastructure (except highways, always more money for highways! Just one more lane bro, we promise!) government, and you get Modern Florida.

Honestly, the best thing that could happen for Florida is if everyone left it, and they ceded it back to the wildlife. We failed, give it up, and move on.

It’s the “globalists” with their weather machines, obviously.

The measuring station in question is at the Mo i Rana airport, which is at Røssvoll, not Storforshei.

As someone from the village of Røssvoll who's biggest enemy is Storforshei I am very offended by this misattribution! There's almost 3 whole km between these two places!

Also tfw the first time my random small area of middle of nowhere Norway is mentioned is when I'm dying from overheating.

[–] vodka@feddit.org 54 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nevermind, I looked into this. It is some unofficial measuring station and not an official station (which the one at Røssvoll is)

[–] topherclay@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I like that when you come back with more accurate information it's to dunk on the illegitimacy of your rival towns weather station.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Mo I Rana doesn't exist. It's a fasade put up to hide the government facilities from people on the train. I only knew one dude from Mo i Rana and he was definitely a robot.

Every single metric that was laid out decades ago has not only been reached it has been surpassed. We're so fucking fucked on an unimaginable scale and it's honestly terrifying how no one seems to care.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Humans are remarkably good at not caring about something until it affects them personally at which point it's too late to do anything about it

[–] ZMoney@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don't care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.

Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you've conquered nature, too.

the part of scandinavia north of the arctic circle can get crazy hot in the summer, because the sun doesn't set. i think norway has a cooler climate than sweden overall due to the scandes, but when i lived up there my 60s concrete apartment building started heating up so much due to the midnight sun that inside temps didn't go below 29 degrees for like half of august. the walls were literally radiating heat.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

It isn’t just that, there’s also a massive ocean current that brings warm, tropical water up there. It’s also why Atlantic Europe is so warm despite being generally as north or more than frickin’ Montréal where last winter we got 70-80cm of snow in 48hrs.

This is still a massive problem, of course.

Man, those libs are sure working overtime selling their hoax.

Tell me about it. Do you have any idea how high the specific heat of water is? George Soros must be running those space lasers 24/7 to make such a convincing show.

It’s a conspiracy I tell you, the operators of all 250,000 worldwide weather stations are in a coordinated effort to misreport temperatures

Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.

I used to ski every year since i was a child, but i took a good 10-12 year break. When i went back in the region i usually went skiing, the glacier was pretty much gone. At least compared to what i remembered. It was quite shocking.

One of my favorite copes in the USA is that all this weather data is faked by Democrats / leftists, so no need to worry about it.

Another popular take is: "China is really filthy, so why should we try to be clean?"

"By the time things go really bad, I'll be dead, so who cares?"

Basically selfish people being selfish. I'd like to leave the world better than I found it, not worse.

This is why we can't have anything nice.

Those who have money to do something about it but aren't doing anything about it should share the consequences... No Air Conditioner for them..

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Oh, they're absolutely doing a lot about it. They're funding climate change denial lobbyists, selling land that's vulnerable to climate change, and buying land that will improve with it. The working class will be left holding the bag...again

I think it ironic that the South europeans have started coming here for "coolcation" only to find it almost as hot as down there.
