another heatwave in Europe

We can wait a long time for industry to do something for the climate. Money is more important than something like climate.
So damn true!

I’ve never believed the trendy stories going around these days about the link between human activity and global warming either. As a friend mentioned earlier, there are documented cases of extremely hot, dry, and prolonged summers that happened centuries ago and even in much more distant times... That said, right now I myself have basically melted into a puddle of flesh, bones, and blood...
Well, it is true that climate changes have always occurred: glaciations, warming, rising and falling of the seas, etc., have always been part of the natural planetary trend, but they occurred over hundreds or thousands of years and then stabilized. Since humans began to put carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and all the known waste into the air, that balance has been lost in just 100 years or so. The earth is a CLOSED SYSTEM: the atmosphere serves to protect us from external factors, but it also serves to CONTAIN what the entire ecosystem needs (oxygen first and foremost). Imagine being in a completely closed environment, for example a room without doors and windows: if you continue to put hot air and waste into this room... what do you think will happen?

You seem to be assuming that the natural stabilized balance puts an end to the planet changing its climate by itself, why?. It needs proof to connect that "since humans..." and "the balance has been lost in just 100 years". Could very well be the planet starting climate change by itself.
I think we have to tread carefully in this topic, crazy laws could be enforced in the name of something that is not, and since this enters the political sphere science proved to be a whore many times: you can find research that suits your narrative; recent example: covid.
 
Its hot as fuck outside but I feel pretty comfy here in my living room.
Because I have air conditioning. Because I dont live in THE DARK AGES.

JK I love you Euro bros

i was gifted a small, portable air conditioning unit. it was given to me as the medication i normally take increases my body temperature, so i think they were concerned i would melt in the humid season, and i have no air conditioning. with this portable air conditioning unit, the temperature in my room went from 32 degrees to 25 degrees, and now i am very comfortable
 
the only european language i speak is english, which i think is a common language in europe. i have never been to europe, but i think that is somewhat accurate
 
Sorry, I was just kidding around.
I was referring to the Celsius degrees you were using (I am accustomed to Fahrenheit because I'm American)

Well, I know what you mean, and I can partly agree.
The point is that it can't be denied that if a variable is added to an equation - which already has its result - that result will inevitably change.
As I said, climate changes have always happened, then stabilized and then happened again.
But if in the last few centuries the planet was in a period of relative stability (i.e. the equation that already has its result), when the variable was added (i.e. all the various human activities), that result began to drastically change...

Obviously, it's just my opinion.

I understand you, but again one will have to proof that variable is not zero or one(depends the operation) or significantly enough to alter the result in such magnitude.
And again its the same problem, I see you put that relative stability as the end of the equation, the result and that's it. Whether there are humans or not, the equation can continue and the result as in the past can vary from stability to instability and vice versa.

What I mean is that everyrhing in the universe starts, lasts for a certain period, then ends and stays quiet and stable until it starts again: it's part of that balance I told about. But, when it all restarts, if a new factor acts, then the whole system could change for worse (or even better, it depends)
Think of something like, for example, I don't know... fire: it burns and burns and eventually goes out, or it could even start again if there are still embers burning under the ash. Anyway...
At a certain point, the variable that modifies everything comes into play, which could be water or gasoline: it goes without saying what the respective results would be...

Hmm, it seems to me we're saying more or less the same thing, but on parallel lines... 🤔
 
A few years back I was talking to an English streamer who was worried about the predicted 42ºC days he was about to suffer. Stuff is getting serious over there. Well everywhere. Speaking to the Finnish Quake bros, it seems like it hasn't quite reached them yet.
 
All my European friends complain about the "heat" when it hits 27, it annoys me to no end. It gets to 46 where I live and stays around 37 for 6 months out of the year.
 
Everyone in Europe don't forget to sign and share:
I think we should strongly remind it to people in Cyprus, Malta and Luxembourg, as they don't seem to care enough.
That is literally extrapolable to every single measurement unit US people use.

37 degrees for half a year sounds one of the worst countries in the world. But at least you have the rest of the months with a nicer weather, isn't it? I live in Spain most of the time and I can assure you that complaint is well shared. I despise mediterranean weather and anything that goes over 22ºC, I consider it one of the worst weathers in the world, only surpassed by tropical countries where all the year is summer. I love Philippines so much, but next time I go for long I will stay most of the time in Baguio lol.
 
I'm on the northeastern coast of the US. We tend to run a tad bit cooler than everyone because of the lakes. This past Tuesday was 90+ degrees, though. Terrible.

I think climate shifts happen. Big corporations are mostly responsible, not little people like us. What can ya do?
I grew up near Buffalo on Lake Erie and I remember having awesome summers where you didn't need AC and could just sleep outside to keep cool. Now 12 years later when I go back in the summer I'm always sweating my butt off. It's crazy having multiple 90°+ days in a row.
 
woke up 7pm in the evening i successfully slept through the whole thing ::dkapproves ::dkapproves ::dkapproves

(not really its still hot i'll probably break into the vacant apartment downstairs (always chill there) and wait until temperatures are bearable again)
The only way would be if the entire world in unison shut down all the factories, stopped using internal combustion engine vehicles, in short, return to the pre-industrial era in one fell swoop... 🫤
i'm all-in for world-wide preindustrial lifestyle as long as i get to keep one netbook with a solar generator
(actually i'd probably just starve to death if that happens but whatever)
it is so hot that I stop using normal consoles and switch to portable ones
i do kind of the same i only use laptops or N100 mini PCs instead of the powerful desktop
 
40C also today here, with the add of two hours blackout in the burning afternoon of the entire zone, probably due the exponential AC consumptions
 
Northern Ireland has felt like an oven at times this summer pollen season is here so im barely out that long. Managed a trip to the game shop last week probably venture out on the 11th as ill paid we have mad bank holidays here in july.

The highest temperature in Ireland is the coldest temperature during winter where I live.
 
Wasn't there a game called " Trails in the sky "? Maybe the trails in the sky have something to do with the weather being a bit stranger than usual. I never remember contrails having such long tails in the past.
 
sorry, my friend is a pilot and he took me on a ride on his personal biplane and the industrial tanker of pesticides i brought with me was leaking

Lol, you do seem to get around a lot.
