This explains why our electronic devices are hot to the point they cannot charge.
43 ºC in my town today. Now we are at 32 ºC and is 23:00.
This is hell.
Actually, some of us didnt
Yeap, every day people die
Again, you’re not being very helpful. Take your weird existential nihilism somewhere else, please
On sorry, I thought no people die when “the pmanet was not hot” lol
It is totally terrifying but also very strange to read about the record heat everywhere while we here in Germany had probably the coldest July in a decade. We had 16C where we should have had 30C. And we had rain, a lot of rain.
Still, I’m terrified.
I saw hail in fucking July in the Netherlands…
Also lots of rain of course.
Shit’s getting crazier and crazier.I was in Germany in May and it was very cold as well but I guess more normal for that time of year. I was wishing I had brought my winter clothes!
Also, the week I left (June 1) Europe had a heatwave.
The world average temperature is up. Locally this puts more energy in weather
Taller storms, bigger hail, more cyclones/typhoons/hurricanes earlier and later in the season
Yeah where I’m at in southwest Ohio in the US it has been one of the coolest, wettest summers also. So in order for the average to be the highest ever, other places had to be extra, extra hot.
Jup, my “Summer Vacation” is now over. Very pissed off about the weather
Apparently the average is up in Germany, you just haven’t had any extremes this year.

Yeah July was basically November

Oil barrons merely see global warming as yet another catastrophe to take advantage of for power and profit, they will have their companies pump oil til there’s not a single drop left to pump anywhere, using every excuse they can find to keep pumping and polluting while evading taxes and regulation as much as possible. They are evil scum and belong in jail for their lies and behavior.
Drug dealers are arguably pretty evil…but there is undeniably huge demand for the products. And getting rid of a dealer won’t solve addiction itself.

Fun fact: All this probably happened because we stopped to geoengineer by outlawing ships blowing sulphur into the air which created additional cloud cover. That is, this year isn’t really exceptional climate-change wise, it’s just that we could witness, by fortuitous natural experiment, how much worse it actually already is… as well as that we can limit the impact by geoengineering. It works, and without wrecking havoc on the overall system.
And the good news is that we don’t need to blow sulphur into the air to generate clouds, the same effect can be had by blowing salt water into the air, just strap a couple of water cannons to every cargo ship. No I’m dead serious.
Tldw: Hank Green video.
Thanks for this info. Really enjoyed learning something hopeful

You have your causality running backwards… this was already here, and the sulfur was masking it. This happened because we put so many GHG in the air.
It works, and without wrecking havoc on the overall system.
Europe is the one that initiated the sulfur reductions. With the additional dimming data now available, they reviewed it to determine how much damage had been caused. The conclusion? The benefits of reducing sulfur actually outweigh the damage of unmasked warming. The plan for further reductions was upheld.
If we mask radiative forcing, we don’t want to be doing it with sulfur. That leads to acid rain, ocean acidification, and asthma and other diseases. CaCO3 is a candidate. The long-term consequences of any candidate is unknown. Except that we know that the less sulfur raining down on us and the fish in general, the better.

Which is what I said?
It was probably framing it like

Instead of something like “we noticed the effects of climate change exceptionally this year because we stopped blowing sulphur (…)”. Yes, this is probably pedantic in a room where everyone understands anthropocentric climate change. Still, I can understand why some people might want to be extremely clear with how we use language regarding this topic, given… Everything that’s going on.
Lemmy is acting weird so I can’t go back and quote, but no, you phrased your attribution in reverse at least once.

Couldn’t the massive fires (energy and compounds generated) exacerbate these values?
Don’t make me say what I didn’t say.
No actually fires have an overall negative (lowering) effect on temperatures, because the smoke reduces the sun energy from reaching land over large areas, it’s been well established that areas affected by smoke will have lower peak temps than they otherwise would have. Except it can cause temps to stay higher overnight by preventing the heat from escaping into atmosphere.
But in terms of highest temps ever recorded… it doesn’t seem fires would contribute to that at all, more just a consequence of the high temps (drying effect).
Thank you, but I was talking about heat generated by the fires and compound build-up (eg: co2), while the last one might bring its effects later.
Just to be sure, I talk about these figures, not the global climate deregulation.
This graph is the most damning. We’ve made zero progress according to the only metric that matters.Why does the graph begin at 1959?
When should it begin?
I believe that’s the NOAA data source and they started measuring this in the late 50’s. The direct measurement data doesn’t go further back because the technology to measure and or concern wasn’t there.
That said, people have been able to extrapolate past carbon ppm through means other than direct measurement.
Lets go for more!!! (China says)

…since 1979
Edit: not saying there’s not a climate change disaster happening, but some of these analyses are a little misleading.
I can’t find any indication that 1979 had a 36-day heatwave with anything approaching the temperatures we’re seeing.
I think the significance of 1979 is that’s when we started keeping track of an overall global temperature day by day…
Not terribly significant. The length, number of heat records broken, and sheer catastrophic scale of this heatwave is unprecedented. We don’t have any reason to think anything remotely like this has happened in human history, and the fact that we didn’t have the means to track the entire planet’s average temperature prior to 1979 doesn’t negate that.
Hawaii is on fire. Oregon is on fire. Canada is on fire. California is on fire. The winter in the southern hemisphere is unprecedentedly warm, and much of Australia burned over their summer. It’s going to burn again.
This is an emergency.
For the hell of it, I checked the list of hottest temperatures recorded and the top for the US was in 1913, Sweeden 1933, Russia 2010, and Germany/France 2019 (for just a small selection of countries). Very few were from this year and many weren’t even in the last half century.

You’re downvoted because you’re comparing one day record temp to a full month of record highs.
Also, a large part of the reason the global average temperature is high is because the Southern hemisphere is having a very warm winter.
Comparing global average to local max temperatures is also wrong.
Much of eastern North America is having a relatively cool summer thanks to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Temps in my area have barely broken 85F/30C all summer
not saying there’s not a climate change disaster happening, but some of these analyses are a little misleading.
Except that to only say “…since 1979” is to comment in either ignorance or bad faith (your pick). We maintained record breaking temps ALL above the prior record for 36 is the damn point, and to miss that is to miss the entire thing.
There have been 44 years since 1979. Lets say the probability of getting 1 day above the 1979 record in a given year is 1/44 (uniform). The probability of even getting a week of the hottest days in one year would be (1/44)^7, would be a one in 300 billion chance. There are some issues and some assumptions I’m making for convenience, but its not ok to make idle comments with no comprehension of the scale of extremity this event represents.
As in, do you have any fucking idea how unlikely that is? This isn’t an ‘oopsie poopsie’ funny record event.
Not to be too pedantic but your back of the envelope probabilities are based on inaccurate assumptions and probably several orders of magnitude off. Specifically, your not just assuming uniform but also independent from one day to the next. A more accurate treatment would be to assume conditional dependence from one day to the next (the Markov property). Once you have a record hot day, you are significantly more likely to have another record hot day following it.
That said, it’s still low probability, just not as low as what you’re saying.
Any thoughts on how I could incorporate that for a better back of the napkin?
If we stick with your 1/44 assumption, we can then assume 50% chance that the following day will also be a record setting day (probably too low still but the math is easier). Your one week estimate would be (1/44)*(1/2)^6.
While the data presented here only goes back to 1979, I seem to recall that some scientists worked out global average temperatures based on coral reef core samples and ice core samples. I think there were some other samples too but I can’t remember what they were. So they are the hottest ever
Hottest so far.
36 days… July 3rd to August 6… is
3435 days.I find it very hard to believe anything that makes such a simple mistake doesn’t have other mistakes.
Hm, I’m counting 35 days
You’re correct, still not 36 though.
Still not 34 either. Where’d you learn to count?
It would actually be 35 days, since it is inclusive of July 3rd. Maybe simple mistakes are equally simple to overlook, sometimes. :P
Meanwhile in germany: 13°C and endless rain.
Extremes getting more extreme.
