You know what would help this situation?
AI
Lots and lots of AI.
Also more religion.
You know what would help this situation? AI
Damn snowflakes. In our days we would have fixed that with a photoshop.
AI will totally develop to a point it comes up with a miracle solution that needs no change in lifestyle or social system. /s
Unironically yes. AI would help us to change the climate
How?
Make it hotter, duh
When 10k more data centers are built, the climate will be way beyond the tipping point
So, helping for the worse?
I haven't said helping people, I said helping in changing the climate, or helping increasing shareholders' value or whatever
Oh, thank the merciful lord and saviour.
I was a bit worried that we were actually going to have to do something meaningful there for a second, phew!!
Anyway check out my new truck "the gas guzzler 4000"
Also let's concentrate most of the world's wealth into the hands of a handful of creepy psychopaths. That would probably solve everything.
Conservative politics: apocalypse any% speedrun
You’re not wrong, that’s literally their goal.
I'm from Spain
I didn't know Spain is Middle Earth!!!
This Summer for sure
Well hung & dessicated.
explosive diarrhoea? or hung like a horse ?
The ballsack just expanded to evaporate more.
Mordor In The Middle is my most anticipated new Frankie Muniz project.
This is also how I see the movie Idiocracy vs Reality. Reality is plain worse
Helps that Europe is warming faster than the global average. Karma, I guess.
Karma for what?
Europe (alongside the USA and other countries of the "western world") has been releasing disgusting amounts of climate change-inducing gases since the 18th century, and they (alongside the USA) were the main profiteers of climate pollution until the latter half of the 20th century. Arguably still are, though other countries like China and Brazil also play a part now.
Granted, this treats nations as monoliths, it's not like the population of most countries really had a choice for the most part.
The fact that Aviation and Maritime transports are visible, alongside large countries and continents emissions, is absolutely nuts.
Yet those most affected by heatwaves are elderly and chronically ill people who can‘t afford proper cooling technology.
It‘s not hurting those in power, it‘s hurting those already marginalised.
What do you mean by karma? Europe is doing the most to stop global warming.
Source? Not to say they aren't putting in a ton of effort and making great progress. It's just hard for me to see them as the biggest force in stopping global warming when China built an entire Germany of electrical capacity last year and almost all of it was renewables
Their manufacturing leadership has brought solar and wind down so cheap that it's no longer economical to use create non-renewable generators in most cases. They're also doing a fantastic job producing new electric cars and industrial scale batteries
China is still massively polluting but they're showing a kind of leadership on climate change that I wish I saw in America
I'm curious to hear your take on why Europe is doing the most on climate change
China is polluting because they produce the European and American stuff over there. On their own they'd still pollute but much less.
There are probably still plenty of people knocking about that will tell you “China is building a coal fired power plant per week”.
Data centers are fast tracking climate change
Don't blame everything on the data centers. Everything else is doing its part in contributing to climate change.
Apart from that data centers, at the scale at which we seem them pop up now, are way too young to have a considerable effect on the current heat wave. Which doesn't mean that they won't in the future. Climate change is, after all, a decades long project
Its a millennia long project.
This is another reason why geoengineering is such a bad idea. Even if you stumble onto something that works without killing everyone, you have to consistently do it for many centuries.
Well, it's enough to work on the project for decades, the effects will be felt for millenia though.
That bottom image is, like, the most aggressively chic weather forecast I've ever seen.
le weather
"I feel better!"
"Shutup, you're dead."
cat in background, being swung, yowling
"Actually, might go for a walk."
"I feel happy!"
"You're not fooling anyone."
We are all gonna die!
But at least we generated value for the shareholders.
Scorchio!
