Weird that you're all calling it "Earth's summer" when it's only been summer in the Northern hemisphere.. Not arguing the point, just saying it sure hasn't been summer down here in Australia

88% of all humans live in the northern hemisphere.

And yet human pollution affects everyone

Summer "this year" started for the southern Hemisphere last December 21st. So minus those 9 days from the previous year, it doesn't seem odd to say "Earth's summer", no?

Snow seasons here in VIC were super short this year.

Almost makes me wonder if I wasted my mountaineering training at this point.. Glaciers probably won't be around for long..

Did the Southern hemisphere have a summer this year?

2 months of a La Nina Summer. Definitely not the hottest.

Edit: Downvoted for a factual statement of the weather in January/February of 2023 in Australia. Welcome to the new Lemmy.
