Sitting here and it's March 6th and I hear the spring birds outside and it's been raining. Now the months are even getting bumped up.

It was spring in mid February here. Also a few roses were still in bloom at the end of OCTOBER

where I live this year it snowed on Halloween and also yesterday

Robins and red-winged blackbirds have been back in my neighborhood for a couple weeks, and we're hearing spring peepers every night. If it keeps this up, we will have a very early morel season.

Luckily the rate at which things worsen will never change and everything is very predictable and the experts are in charge.

Good news: We've removed February

Bad news: We've replaced it with Mega-August

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

The months/seasons in Rimworld are Aprimay, Jugust, Septober & Decembary and for whatever reason this has always tickled me.

lousy maugust weather…

I wonder if the release of more Methane than any event in recorded history between September and November of 2022 had any connection to this.

Probably not. Similar to the way that it takes a minute to warm up after you put on a blanket, there's a multiyear lag on the order of 10-20 years between emissions and warming impact.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Methane only stays in the air for about 12 years, but it absorbs more energy than carbon emissions, so it's impact would be seen quicker, wouldn't it?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Good point, consider me owned by facts and logic.

NATOPEDIA:

Andrew Baxter, director of energy strategy for the Environmental Defense Fund, said he estimated that about 115,000 tonnes (250 million pounds) of methane had been released into the environment. To date, this may be the largest gas leak in human history. According to German estimates, about 300,000 tonnes (660 million pounds) of methane, which is one of the most potent greenhouse gases (more potent than CO2), was emitted into the atmosphere. This amount of gas is enough to affect the environment for another 20 years, with an annual gas emission capacity of 5.48 million combustion-engined cars.

Certainly a disaster but a pretty small contribution in the grand scheme of things.

It very well might but I can't find any global concentration data that recent.

It's fine, we're going to do carbon credits (which have been scientifically proven to not work) and try for net-zero by 2050 (two decades too late). biden-troll

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

capitalist-laugh Gonna invest in a tree farm to grab up some carbon credits, and when it burns down in an inferno I can collect insurance.

Warmal, even

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

Well the fun thing about this is the temperature of the north Atlantic influences the rate of melting of the Greenland ice sheet, and scientists are predicting that if the ice sheet collapses, that'll blow the AMOC, and if the AMOC goes, the mean temp in Europe drops 17 C. Winter in Western Europe would start looking like winter in Scandinavia.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Nice. Maybe I'll live, unless I die soon.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Hope you prosper despite the times, comrade.

yeah amoc collapse will make frostpunk happen in the uk thank god

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

So, you're saying global warming isn't real?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

What's happening right now is that the AMOC helps balance out heat between the high latitudes and the tropics, so if it stops, that heat just gets stuck at the equator. Which is bad for a lot of people in a lot of ways. Mexico City dries up, the Amazon flips to savanna, monster hurricanes for the gulf and Atlantic coasts. General meteorological chaos and anarchy.

I wonder if all the bombs, mortars, and tanks that have come in to use in the previous year have anything to do with it? :(

The U.S. military alone creates emissions on par with Sweden.
