Did you turn your thermostat off and sit in the dark? Otherwise you're the real problem. Not us.

    Is this a global heatwave now?

    Super El Nino not just a heat wave. The last time something of this magnitude hit the world there was a record famine and mass death in India, and the monsoons were mostly or completely dry (depending on where) for 3 years afterwards. That's why people are joking about it being the last cool summer for 5-6 years... It's just going to be hotter and drier...

    Other areas are going to get hammered with rain. I live in Canada and the prairies of Alberta and foothills east of the Canadian Rockies got hammered with record rain that's drowning crops. They got an entire year's rainfall in 1 month.

    I'm in California. Normal el niños give us moderate flooding. I'm tempted to stock up on sand and sandbags this summer, before the rush

    Probably a good idea... The irony is the Colorado River is so low a lot of southern Cali and Nevada might run out of water.

    Funnily enough, Arizona has been taking this way more seriously than California. Probably because California has multiple water sources.

    I know you're joking, but my uncle had a goal of visiting every continent. He hit Antarctica by signing onto a research vessel or something. A few hours of work a day, then whenever they stopped he got to go diving.

    Ok, but what sucked about it because surely there was a catch? 🧐

    i'll be honest, he never said.

    there was that time that everyone got out of the water and he didn't know why, until he was like 5 feet from a leopard seal. He sold that video to National Geographic and it was the clearest, closest video someone's gotten of a leopard seal until this one. pure accident on his part. i've been looking for his video on the youtubes but i can't find it.

    It's not just the short term profits, it's the power. It's much harder to control places that don't rely on fossil fuels

    Some cool cats right there! I thought, if you're us-american, you might not be familiar with ceramic roof tiles

    Buy an AC unit, even a small one that cools one room is life.
