This is one of the big ones. It also drives the airstream and has been the reason weather was so stable and predictable for the past few 100 years. Things are going to get crazy out there!!!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

We had a Little Ice Age in the past, When the average global temperature is around 0°C
Now, if we look at the chart of average global temperatures based on ice core data...
The little ice age also coincided with, and exacerbated, various crises within feudalism, that eventually led to its collapse, and replacement with a different political -economic system.
Just a little fun fact, unrelated to anything currently ongoing in the world
Oh one of my favorite movies is coming true, too bad it's The Day After Tomorrow. Is all that talk about the Democrats having weather control machines just getting ahead of this?
no no no. it's the Jewish space lasers that did this!
Gotta admire the ability of the Jewish people to construct innovative lasers in space. I've always had so much respect for that
S'about time. I am sick of 100 degree (F) days while living in Oregon... I can always put more clothes on, but only so much I can take off. /s
yeah... you can keep adding layers if it's too cold, but you can't go less than naked if it's too hot
You have skin, don't you? Don't be a weasel!
Wouldn't Jetstream collapse make the US (especially east coast) warmer and Europe colder?
Most of the US is like southern Europe and northern Africa latitude
Effrey Jetstream?
Don't panic, northern Europe will be like Russia. Not politically, just the climate will be similar to Russia's.
Could we reverse this with global warming?
I'm not a climate scientist, but this is my understanding: the Earth doesn't heat evenly, because most of the sunlight falls in the tropics. The ocean currents are an important way that heat gets redistributed. If the current collapses, the temperature difference between the equator and the high latitudes will increase, because heat will travel more slowly. Trying to fix this by adding more greenhouse gases would result in the equatorial regions becoming uninhabitable before it thawed out Europe—kind of like how if you microwave a Hot Pocket and it's heating unevenly, you can't fix it by microwaving it more, that just makes the already-hot parts scorching.
YES!
For about 4 hours. And then we're good and truly fucked.lol
At least the parts of Europe that rely on it for warmth and to moderate the polar cold.
Upside, if you drive more diesel trucks there won't be an polar cold! One problem solved. Whew!
I knew we were gonna get an ice age.
We're technically still in an ice age.
Do i have time to finish watching the Witcher? because that is what's important.
The witcher's only season is not that long and finished airing long ago. You have time
