the point is the picture shows zero loving snow anywhere except on the ski slope. that's why it's posted in biosphere collapse. winter is vanishing before our eyes

we got any 'things arent as bad as expected' tweets to balance it out a bit?

Yeah. Water influx from glacier to ocean will be roughly 10% less than we projected, so of the disastrous 65cm(2.1') from Thwaites it would really just be 58.5cm(1.9')
which is less bad and therefore fine

less bad = fine

the camp sites we used to visit as kids would run fluorescent lighting in the bathrooms and at night the windows would literally hum from the all the moths flapping their wings against the windows trying to get to the lights.

the theory is the lights distract them from the moon which they used to navigate to the alps, then bats etc eat them. I have seen this in practice - moths gather around street lights and the bats hang out nearby and just fly through the cloud of bugs like a whale shark on a school of fish.

the last time I was there during this period, maybe 10yrs ago, I saw maybe 2 moths total.

Yeah I used to go camping at various state/national parks/forests etc as kids and campgrounds would have like lovely green lights outside bathrooms or w/e and there'd just be constant swarms of bugs non-stop. last time I went to one there was nada, not a bug in sight. i mean excewpt some lovely ants and maybe some mosquitos. all the moths/etc seemed long gone

It's kind of crazy to think that people looked at the massive swarms of insects gathering around our lights, which are literally everywhere and on all the time, and honestly thought "this isn't affecting anything and it doesn't matter."

there's snow here (and there's supposed to be snow here at that!) except we keep getting blasted with these heat waves that melts all of it, then it all re-freezes when the temp drops 30 degrees overnight and now there's several inches of solid lumpy ice everywhere and it sucks rear end

last week iirc it was almost -30 and now it's +4 and tomorrow it's supposed to rain

The arctic is in relatively reasonable shape compared to the past couple of years. I wouldn't expect a realistic shot at a BOE until 2028+. Systems are getting Very Weird so I guess it could all collapse in the next few months, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.

Expect the narrative to really quickly switch from "we need to do what little token gestures we can to avoid the worst of locked-in climate change" to "well it's here, suck it up, we might as well take advantage of it while we still can because if we don't China or Russia will"

No one is going to ever take this seriously.

Life sustaining poo poo will continue to stop getting to poor people, then to less poor people, the rich will try hermetically sealed dome life, that will fail a la Zardoz/Logan's Run.

We will have the tracer tong ending at best, the alternative is lights out.

It's amazing how in 20 years I've gone from viewing the condition of humanity in the matrix as a horror to viewing being in a pod to a not so bad.

Just crazy poo poo.

I am unable to contemplate existence outside the frame of trash sci-fi, apparently.

you're right but the craziest thing about this post isn't that our world is crumbling around us while all we can do is watch and do nothing and old dystopian fiction is now almost-utopian, it's that apparently i'm not the only one who's watched zardoz
