I see you and I hear you. I get why you would consider this unfortunate. However responsible leaders have to take all considerations into account. We can't just stop climate change without being aware of the consequences. And the truth is that reducing emissions would simply be too expensive.
We must also consider that the jury is still out on whether climate change is man made, whether the climate really exists or indeed whether material reality itself exists.
Instead of jumping to rash actions on climate change we should reduce taxes on businesses and job creators, thereby incentivising growth and creating the economic surplus necessary to eventually handle climate change. It could very well be that cooking the planet is the fiscally savvy thing to do.
Have you considered climate change is the devil tricking your senses?
No! Be materialist! There is no better world, but the world you and me, the working class creates. This is our ultimate task.
We ran out of reds, so we had to start using black and purple like it’s a wasteland. Now we’ve run out of wasteland and have to jump to the other end of the color spectrum.
Aus had to do that for the UV index a while back
Edit:
Sun protection measures are recommended when the UV Index is 3 and above. Remember you can still get burnt on cool or cloudy days – so think UV, not heat.

The present index goes to 14+
half the state is a desert, it gets pretty hot here. Most people don't know that though bc it's very rural
Shit, East Washington counts as a desert? This place has a rainforest, desert, and an active volcano. Wack
yeah, if it hasn;t been turned into farmland all you see is sand and sagebrush, it's one of the reasons I love this state so much. I love camping/backpacking/outdoors stuff and it's great bc you can literally go anywhere. If I wanted to go summit a mountain, go sailing, go to a rainforest, desert, etc I wouldn't have to leave the state. Here's a map of the whole PNWs level iv ecoregions, there's an insane amount of variety
According to the same tweet, it will reach 121 the day after (on Tuesday). :grillman:

Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.
I don't do well in the heat. I am uncomfortable at around 75 degrees. I have lived in a desert my entire life, I hate it so much. I never just "got used to it". This summer has been especially miserable, I hate it so much
Best thing I ever did was leave Phoenix, AZ behind and move to Norcal then Oregon.
My skin is not made for sun. I'm Irish, Swedish, and Icelandic. If you cut my skin off you could probably see through it.
Its Pheonix temps in Oregon rn
Not if you live in your basement since Jan 2020, like me.
I have my covid bunker.
as the whitest person alive, im meant to live in an area that is dark 90% of the time, perhaps a cave, or ireland
fr the only person whiter than me irl that i met was literally on their deathbed
whenever i go to the docs office theyre like 'oh my god youre so pale are you sick' and im like 'no im just pale lol'
But I live in an air conditioned house that I only leave in my air conditioned car which I drive to my air conditioned office and air conditioned stores and air conditioned restaurants so everything is fine :this-is-fine:
I recently saw an article about how californians are being driven back to the office to be “freezing again”
Except this is the PNW where houses aren't air conditioned because that's not sustainable and it never gets up past 100, so these people are all sweating like hominids
Heatwaves are in fact the deadliest natural disaster, last I checked.
We're definitely heading that direction. Shit is gonna get real bad over the next 10 years. Crop loss, inhospitable summer heat, potential internal climate refugees.
If this is the trend, that means by 2030, most of the USA will be uninhabitable.
Forget balkanization. The end of the USA means it's gonna get biblical. Real Babylon Has Fallen hours, who's up? :amerikkka:
EDIT: "Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her." ~ Revelations 18:8 NKJV.
It will still be inhabitable, just not to the current degree. People will have to cut down on water use. That or there's an effort to spread desalination and pump fresh water across the continent.
The thing is it isn't all doom and gloom. It's just pretty bad.
It takes a lot of energy to desalinate the water and pump it inland though.
Hydro is out - look at the levels for Lake Mead, it's struggling with the Federal Gov't about to declare an emergency. Solar and Wind could do it but it would need to be a massive coordinated effort. Not enough Geothermal plants in America. Nobody wants to deal with Nuclear. And yes, I'm leaving out the one energy that got us into this mess, Fossil Fuels.
Yeah, desalination would need new technology, but it's really the best option I see.
Unironically if a lot of AZ commited to that I'd be much better for energy costs.
pump fresh water across the continent
i sense an imminent return of NAWAPA posting
If this is the trend, that means by 2030, most of the USA will be uninhabitable.
Honestly thank fuck this isn't over AZ. We already have a few wildfires threatening communities. If this were here there'd probably be half a dozen more.
Weather folks say we are getting some monsoon rain on Tuesday or Wednesday, but then it's back to hot as fuck the rest of the week.
Boy, I love it when it rains really briefly in the summer. Just long enough to make it humid without cooling the temperature down at all
The western half anyway. The Eastern half is going to be like Florida
East has remained wet and cool so far this year. It was 55 this morning in Michigan and we've been getting shit loads of rain.
Nah. Here in Virginia it's only been in the low 90s the past few days and there's been at least one thunderstorm a week. But it's onkay it won't be that way for long cuz I'm in the will-be-submerged-in-the-future area :agony-deep:
Like I said earlier, most of America will be uninhabitable, between frying in the West and flooding in the East, by 2030. This shit is accelerating.
:amerikkka: delenda est
Ehh, 48C is enough to melt the road, shit sucks. Dry is easier to handle than wet, but doing anything except nothing while it's 48 out sucks no matter what
very strange colors tbh,
i think i should associate reds and oranges with heat but theyre representing the most reasonable temps on this map
maybe they had to add new colors since 80-90 is usually the "high". Then it went to 115 and they're like "fuck it purple"
