    Strangely, North America often seems to dodge the worst of the heat on these maps. I feel this is actually somewhat unfortunate on a global scale, sound we have a lot of power and tend to be a substantial obstacle to energy policy change.

    I've lived in Texas for twenty years, and this summer has been the most unbearable.

    Yeah I live in Ontario near the great lakes and our last 2 summers have actually been relatively cool and we've had lots of rain too. I bet there are a lot of boomers that live around the great lakes that think climate change is complete horse shit, just because we've barely experienced anything negative yet.

    But we also had all the smoke from the wildfires this year, we had a crazy snow storm the last 2 winters and last spring we had a wind storm that did tons of damage and knocked out power for days. So there are some negative things, just depends on if people believe it or not.

    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

    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..

    Wait until next year when it becomes even hotter because republicans refuse to admit man made climate change exists and therefore wont allow anything to be done about it.

    I'm sure continuing to subsidize fossil fuel industry is going to make things even better going forward.

    My guy I just peeped ur profile. All u do is tell people they're unintelligent or how they're spreading propaganda.

    Not once have you made an actual intelligent point or thoughtful comment that adds to a discussion. Not once have you showed how what you're responding to is propaganda. Not once have you actually attempted to reason with the person you are responding to.

    If you smell shit everywhere you go, check ur fuckin shoes.
