      No, there will be colder summers in the future. And people will remember those summers and postpone action. Climate change is not always up. Just the general trend is up. Each year varies a lot.

      Pointing that out so that stupid people do not invalidate climate change when next years will be colder once.

        Yeah, in 2022 we had 40°C in my city, altough that was in July, not in June. The expected peak for this heatwave is tomorrow at 36°C. With climate change we’re getting more and more volatile weather, but that didn’t just suddenly start this year.

        Yeah Europe will have more volatile weather in the future. Swinging from freezing cold spells in the spring, to heatwaves in fall.

      And yet (most of) our leaders are ignoring it in order to make more money for themselves and their kin.

        Do not forget abour your neighbours and relatives that vote for these leaders again and again. They are adults and have multiple ways to get trustworthy information yet they decide to ignore that.

        And spending money to maybe be able to get off the planet and claim another as their own. (For humanities sake “of course.”)

      The German onion equivalent published an article a couple days ago: “Children will remember the summer of 2026 as the coldest of their lifetime.”

      Funnily enough, when the AMOC stops because of climate change Atlantic coastal Europe will receive a strong drop in temperature, so we are gonna go back to colder temperatures.

      This is a bad thing though, obviously, all that heat will accumulate in Mexico and Brazil iirc, and the marine impact will be huge, but brace yourselves for stupid people claiming that things are getting back in track.
