    Can’t believe there are idiots that still deny climate change. Here in the MENA (Middle east + North africa, basically arab world) it’s been brutal, frequent droughts, dangerous air quality and insane levels of heat in summer (and average days too, but it’s only 33 celsius right now so not too bad). 1,300 people died last year in my city alone

    But yeah… climate change is a hoax. 🙄

        And the most common sentiment about climate change right now among KTU civil engineer students is “oh stop shoving this climate bullshit down our throats” and it isn’t even exclusive to the fucking students.

        Makes me mad listening to it.

        I’ve gotten used to 30+ degree weathers, but i’m especially concerned for the coming summer/next years.

          We had 2 snowfalls this winter here in Austria and summer regularly hits 30+ for multiple weeks. No snow = no melting water reservoir… Yet our people vote for a Partie that still calls it a hoax. We’re so fucked.

      Yep. The signs are all around us, even in Northern Europe. Not so far north that melting glaciers are a thing, but shorter and warmer winters, earlier spring, burnt grass in summer (this has never been a thing in Finland), disruption of long-standing weather patterns…

      Most “sensible” deniers nowadays claim it’s not human made. For them I always keep this xkcd handy.
