What are we talking about when you say extremely sub zero. As in -20c or colder?

Let's just put it this way. It is what was thought to have triggered previous ice ages.

Very serious topic about dying earth, climate change, etc

"yo we have the same cake day!"

Idk why, but this made me laugh too much

A little whimsy to make the world more bearable. Idk where I heard the advice, but:

When you walk past a flower, stop and appreciate it. The weight of your worries will wait patiently, so take your time.

Has an ice age ever started during a current ice age before?

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

There have been many interglacial periods.

[-] GelatinGeorge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Exactly that, yes. We rely on the Gulf Stream for our mild climate so, if that goes, we get the extremes in both summer and winter

I was flabbergasted the first time I realized just how far north Europe is, compared to North America.

Paris is at 48° 51' N, significantly further north than Toronto (43° N), Montreal (45° N). London is at 51°N 30', which is further north than Vancouver (49° N), and just slightly further north than Calgary (51°N).

Even southern European cities like Ibiza (39° N) are at comparable latitudes to northern American cities like Philadelphia (40°N) or even New York (41°N).

If Europe starts seeing climate comparable to similar latitudes in North America, that would represent a huge change from the recorded history.

-20c is nothing. It'll be a lot worse than that.
