Rime posted:I experienced 50 degrees Celsius last year in southeastern Turkey. It's hard to put that kind of heat into words: the air hurts to breathe, it's hard to stay conscious in the shade, entering the sun for just a minute is like stepping into the flame of a BBQ. You can't even swim in rivers, because the water acts as a magnifying glass and cooks you. By 8am it was over 30 degrees, and it was still over 22 at midnight. I was in Turkey/Armenia/Georgia last August. When we landed in Yerevan, it was 48 degrees. Unfuckingreal. The entire meteorological summer (June - August) last year was absolutely ridiculous in northern Italy. Every day had a maximum temperature between 37 to 41 degrees C, while it cooled off to 30 by dawn. My unair-conditioned apartment was generally 32 degrees when I came home from work each day. This is with the shutters shut during the heat of the day and opened again at night. No breeze, except for the odd thunderstorm that would temporarily produce one. Italy is only going to get hotter as well. There was a ridge of high pressure over northern Africa which was mainlining Saharan heat directly into southern France, Italy, Croatia, etc. My Italian friends told me that they can now grow apples and grapes at elevations that have never been used for agriculture before. Sicily is in big trouble, since it is so reliant on agriculture and the rest of Italy on agriturismo.

I lived in the apple producing capital of Europe (Bolzano IT). A couple of the researchers I worked with told me how climate change had already resulted in apple orchards being located at altitudes that have never produced apples in all of agricultural history.

I apologize for posting that with no context. It was posted by a meteorologist that is a member of the American Weather forums. I am a novice at best and defer to their knowledge, especially when they preface an image like that with a "Holy poo poo".

Good times. As Beijing Joins Climate Fight, Chinese Companies Build Coal Plants quote:These Chinese corporations are building or planning to build more than 700 new coal plants at home and around the world, some in countries that today burn little or no coal, according to tallies compiled by Urgewald, an environmental group based in Berlin. Many of the plants are in China, but by capacity, roughly a fifth of these new coal power stations are in other countries.

It's weird, most vegetarians/vegans I've known in my life are chubby/fat. Myself, I've been on the keto diet for awhile and don't weigh much more than I did in high school. I rarely eat beef or pork, generally eat fish or chicken (which has the same CO2 equivalent as tomatoes/potatoes per calorie) for protein.

my local paper posted that coral reef story. one of the always angry right-wingers stated that "... and elsewhere, coral reefs are forming in brilliant colors because the zooxanthellae occasionally migrate and abandon the corals they live with, causing the corals to lose their color. What you’re not being told is that warm ocean currents do not swirl along the same path forever. Ocean reefs transform as part of how the earth works since the earth was formed." lol
