Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.

    Aren't they drowning and insurance companies there aren't covering flood damage?

    What's the explanation for that?

    CLEARLY the intensifying hurricanes and rising water levels are the work of THE WOKE LEFT and their EVIL WEATHER WEAPONS powered by JEWISH MAGIC SPACE LASERS!!!

    /s

    Florida is falling apart and sinking into the ocean, and it's their own damn fault. Insurance is no longer covering storms and flooding because both are getting SO common and SO extreme that by the time they've finalized payment for one case, the same party has filed 3 more. This is further exasperated by the rampant suburban sprawl Florida is known for, as they bulldozed and developed the coastal flood zones (read: the everglades, the swamps, the coves and inlets, all the little islands and water features that help mitigate storm damage) in order to build more fucking McMansion neighborhoods for retiring Boomers, only for them to get washed away in the next storm. Add on to this an openly Fascist and anti-urban development/public infrastructure (except highways, always more money for highways! Just one more lane bro, we promise!) government, and you get Modern Florida.

    Honestly, the best thing that could happen for Florida is if everyone left it, and they ceded it back to the wildlife. We failed, give it up, and move on.

    The measuring station in question is at the Mo i Rana airport, which is at Røssvoll, not Storforshei.

    As someone from the village of Røssvoll who's biggest enemy is Storforshei I am very offended by this misattribution! There's almost 3 whole km between these two places!

    Also tfw the first time my random small area of middle of nowhere Norway is mentioned is when I'm dying from overheating.

    Every single metric that was laid out decades ago has not only been reached it has been surpassed. We're so fucking fucked on an unimaginable scale and it's honestly terrifying how no one seems to care.

    I'm really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don't care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.

    Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you've conquered nature, too.

    the part of scandinavia north of the arctic circle can get crazy hot in the summer, because the sun doesn't set. i think norway has a cooler climate than sweden overall due to the scandes, but when i lived up there my 60s concrete apartment building started heating up so much due to the midnight sun that inside temps didn't go below 29 degrees for like half of august. the walls were literally radiating heat.

    Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.

    We’re so fucked

    I used to ski every year since i was a child, but i took a good 10-12 year break. When i went back in the region i usually went skiing, the glacier was pretty much gone. At least compared to what i remembered. It was quite shocking.

    One of my favorite copes in the USA is that all this weather data is faked by Democrats / leftists, so no need to worry about it.

    Another popular take is: "China is really filthy, so why should we try to be clean?"

    "By the time things go really bad, I'll be dead, so who cares?"

    Basically selfish people being selfish. I'd like to leave the world better than I found it, not worse.

    This is why we can't have anything nice.

    Those who have money to do something about it but aren't doing anything about it should share the consequences... No Air Conditioner for them..

    Oh, they're absolutely doing a lot about it. They're funding climate change denial lobbyists, selling land that's vulnerable to climate change, and buying land that will improve with it. The working class will be left holding the bag...again

    I think it ironic that the South europeans have started coming here for "coolcation" only to find it almost as hot as down there.

    Real estate investment funds are scrambling to pick up coastal acreage of Norway's hottest new vacation beach front property.
