will smirk and clink wine glasses about this happening to undesirables, but then get really upset when Napa Valley is on fire again."I just read an article and I'm so worried about climate change!"
"You seem really upset. What did the article say?"
"Climate change could disrupt wine production."
"Oh my god!"
I guarantee I will hear about it soon before I even hear about the fire itself. I live that close to Bazinga Unimatrix Zero.
God what I would give to live in the white area rn
yes it may seem bad now but have you considered how good this may look in the future
You made me actually laugh out loud. Oh fuck - it's too true.
This is Boston erasure. Shit is hot as fuck outside.
Be careful and remember to stay hydrated, comrades.
My buddy made the comment the other day that "florida will be moving north" and people will still just tank this and yeah probably. Tanking it includes dying of course.
Meaning like Florida's climate and coast will just move and the south will kinda scrunch
I've been trying to convince friends and family in Florida to move north and they're just not acknowledging the danger. Just like with masking and covid, they can't grasp that "normal" comes with a price they're gonna pay. Future dangers aren't worth worrying about when "normal" life already requires so much denial.
I am evacuating the only person I know there at the end of july 😎
Piss on Jacksonville on your way out.
I've never been and don't plan to, but it seems like the kind of place that deserves it.
I managed to convince my mom to retire in Chicago near my sister. She was going to stay in south Florida. The more I think about it, she definitely left at the perfect time
It's almost shocking the amount of people moving to Florida in recent years, but then I remember the kind of people who want to move to Florida are the same kind of people with their heads stuck in the sand...
It's not even just Florida, almost all of the fastest growing cities in the US are places that are going to be hit hard by climate change (Florida, Texas, Arizona). To be fair to people though, I don't think it can just be attributed to people sticking their heads in the sand (although I won't say it's not a component), as I think a fair amount of this has to do with cost of living issues as well.
My partner has one more year left on her PhD and then we’re getting the fuck out of here. It can’t come fast enough.
Edit: has not had
No doubt. Mindblowing to me that homeowner's insurance companies are jumping ship and people still aren't getting the urgency.
No doubt. I don't know them, though. Sadly, I'm surrounded by MAGA and Blue MAGA.
lol, yeah. I am them, but I'm trying to get my friends and family out before I leave.
I have family down there and I doubt I'd be able to convince the to move back up north. I still talk to people that want to move down there because "everything is cheaper", which sure it is, but pay is also shit. I just hope they come to their senses before it's too late
A million Americans could die tonight and it won't be in the media for more than a day or two.
Americans do not care about the mass deaths of anybody, including other Americans.
Conservatives will refuse to acknowledge it because it suggests climate change is real.
Liberals will openly cheer for it because surely everyone who died was a republican.
And then Kanye will announce he's Jewish now and that will get more attention than a million Americans dying.
America isn't real - it's just a death cult of people who paradoxically think they're immortal and who also can't wait to die.
I made that mistake and collapsed from heat exhaustion. And it wasn't as hot as 119° either.
When the water springs dry up from the mountain glaciers around the world there will be millions, sadly. Then I do wonder if we'll see a war over water in the next 10 years.
Nature to
science denying states of Tex@$$ and Floriduh...
Wildly inaccurate map. Anchorage isn't in that dot on the Alaska map. How can we trust anything on this when it can't even get basic geography right?
I guess the Washington Post needs to hire the weather grifter in my other post to "conduct weather advisory" - https://hexbear.net/post/274895
Fairbanks and Anchorage flipped locations, as a goof
It WOULD be you to notice that. I straight up do not look at Alaska on most maps. It seems more like a neck tie to me - useless but pretty to cover the empty space.
Very funny that they got that wrong, though.
My cheap method of cooling is having a spray bottle in the fridge and a couple of damp towels, always having a fan pointed at me, and kinda rotating wet things onto my body and into the fridge. Focus on head and torso.
It works less well in humidity, but it can still be quite humid and work on a hot day.
