Couple a 30 mega-ton nukes to kick-start a nuclear winter no problem. Its all about pitting our problems against each other. Fuck now im sad

It's almost like we're a footnote in the history of the planet. These events has happened before, and will happen long after we're gone.

Love Manbiot but people can laugh at idiots and think about the shit state of the world at the same time.

That's because Pepol news sell more than news with facts and figures. The world population is dumb that way....

Maybe it really is about time we try if that nuclear winter joke works...

It was on the weather next to the news here a time ago on prime time television and main channel. Just depends what shithole country you liv
IHaveABoneToPickWithDeath
86 and 104 in Fahrenheit for anyone wondering. That’s crazy AF.
LieutenantCorporalFakename
No. It was 30 and 40 over their normal temps, which is still really bad.
IHaveABoneToPickWithDeath
Ooohhhhh got it. I didn’t know anamoly meant that above their temps. I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying instead of downvoting
LieutenantCorporalFakename
More info is always better. :)

I am trying to make plans on how to maybe survive the warming but everyone around me thinks I'm being "extreme". Then I read this!!

If you’re not worried then you’re not paying attention. And most people are not paying attention

Ok so we just have to dye the ocean and part of the poles in white and problem solved.
fogdart
Article states 30 and 40 degrees "higher than normal" temps. Still... not good.
Zahnradfee
That is what "anomaly" means. Though, scientifically, one should use Kelvin to signify a temperature difference.

That's 86 and 104 respectively in freedom units. No idea how many washing machines that is.
AtLeastImWearingUnderwear
Sorry. Those aren't the temperatures. The temps were 30 and 40 degrees over normal. Still very worrying. Ice shelf the size of Rome 1/2

Idiocracy wasn't a prediction of the future because in Idiocracy the people in power respected intelligence. (Once they recognized it.)

The dumber the population gets, the less the important things matter, and the US population is already so very, VERY, mind-numbingly dumb.

TsubakiTragic
As an Aussie, that +40 degree Antarctic temp got my attention lickety split. Screw the oscars, the planet is crying/dying FFS.
Zahnradfee
Actually it's "only" a 40 Kelvin anomaly, meaning 40 Kelvin above the normal value, not 40°C. But it's still bad.
TsubakiTragic
The Kelvin and Centigrade units are identical, just a different 0 start point. Hence, a 40 degree increase in either is the same thing.
Zahnradfee
I know they are the same, but in school we learned that Celsius is to be used for absolute temperatures (relative to when water freezes) and
Zahnradfee
Kelvin is to be used for temperature differences. Though I doubt that those who missed the "anomaly" part would know the other thing, so it>
Zahnradfee
might not have helped in getting across that the headline was about temperature differences.
iimplodethings
I'm a physicist who works on nuclear weapons. The climate crisis scares me.

Maybe get a job that doesn't involve planning mass murder and annihilation of the human species.

Climate crises could push desperate populations into nuclear war.

Well nuclear winter would cool down the earth.

Maybe "Don't Look Up" did deserve Best Picture after all....
Idontneedrealfacts
Not best picture, a fine movie, about an hour longer than I felt it should be... but Spiderman should have been best picture...
OuchMouse
Problem is that it was in the wrong category. Should have been in Best Documentary instead
TheLilBee
Movie came at a perfect (or deliberate) time in which nothing can be done to stop it
raknor88
It's kind of terrifying how accurate that movie is and would likely be.
ontarioOT
Best documentary.
StarrBK201
Just beat out "idocracy"
RydWolf
The flaw in Idiocracy was that the people in power were far more well-intentioned than they would be in reality. Too unbelievable.
StarrBK201
Bot that I disagree but I feel it could be seen differently as the people in power were bought off by brawndo
bricklips
That movie honestly fucked me up, i couldn't sleep that night, i felt so hopeless
TheobromineAddict
I think "Don't Look Up" made all it's viewers very uncomfortable.
DankBot69
Don't look up is very similar to Idiocracy, I highly reccomend that movie as well.

Now, would nuclear winter help the earth? Or make it worse? I don’t mean for humanity.
4Astaroth
Clouds keep the heat of the earth in, but the earth doesn't give off a lot of heat, so it would get cold very fast. So global ice age.
AlwaysUpvoteBeerCigarsWhisky
Lump of rock don't give a fuck what temperature it is.
neonoptic
The Earth is gonna be around regardless. The Earth isn't sentient and isn't capable of thought. We however, are doomed as a species. 100%
dashcan
Humans are fucked regardless, unless they get their head out of their ass and get to the other planets. As for the Earth, we'd have to >
dashcan
effectively sterilize it from Pole to Pole to wreck it to 'dead planet' status. Lotsa layers of life, and even Chernobyl has organisms >
dashcan
that have adapted to the radiation. Cuz life... uh... finds a way. Humans are just the smart supermonke with anxiety issues out the whazoo.
lurkingandsmirking
Just FYI. It was 30 and 40 degrees hotter than seasonal average. Not +30 and +40 degrees recorded. Still bad news but the latter would 1/2
TK421isAFK
I was trying to imagine how it could possibly have been 40°C (104°F) in Antarctica, like...ever. Maybe 5 billion years ago.
AmealsOnWheels
Thanks for clarifying. I was bordering on dubious thinking it was 30-40°c. Still horrifying

Important to note that temperatures were also still below freezing for the most part

Let’s not forget temps going from 70s to 30s at the ass end of March & random flurries in NYC area

Sometimes it snows in april . . . https://youtu.be/ikZgBhSMSUM

Ugh, today was brutal and I’m so tired of being cold ?.

I'm in south central pa and the wind today stung bare skin. I'm right there with you, and under a heated blanket.
canadianreserve
And -40 on the prairies.
InfinitusEquitas
I'm fucking freezing right now.. A week ago I installed a window fan because it was getting warm. Today took it out.
Lionskull
we had random flurries in NC with a very similar temp fluctuation.
RideTheStimutacs
As someone from upstate, that's been happening for decades. New York weather does whatever the hell it wants.
PeeterGrant
I'm from CA spending time here on "spring break" and it's like the arctic. What the fuck? Never again. Though, it is raining in LA. Odd.
Unprofessionalphotographer
Bruh it was just 70 last week ?
MrKomisiripala
It’s gon’ be 70 on Thursday again bruh. But it gon’ start at 32
PectorialMuscles
Whole east coast, not just nyc.

Can’t speak to that. Haven’t followed the weather on the seaboard. Just kept walking outside into whatever tf this is
secretoaster
DC too. Hail
BungusAmungus
It's gonna be high of 70° this Thursday with a low of 35°. Winter isn't "over" until around Mothers day in NY.
PhillyPumpkinBaron
Yea, this isn't anything unusual for the NE. Hell I was down the Jersey shore in July and it stated snowing (96/97 IIRC).
TheRealKevinL
Seriously. I remember sitting in Yankee Stadium on opening day and it was snowing.
GrimblGrombl
It was 19 degrees this morning! Down from 71 like three days ago.

It is currently 18 degrees here in North Central CT at 2:30 AM, March 29.
