    Horrendous to think that this might be the best summer for the next 200 years.

    Once the AMOC collapses, you can also add arctic winter temperatures to places like London. From -35c to 35c each year will be the norm.

    It’s amazing that this is still not treated as the existential threat it is.

      What you gotta remember is that fixing the environment is not profitable. No self-respecting venture capitalist is going to invest in that. On the other hand, things that actively accelerate the destruction of the planet have massive ROI potential, so we’re going full steam ahead on those.

    We haven’t been serious about climate change and platformed way too many science-deniers up until now.

    I found an interesting article on Climate Obstructionism in my country (Ireland). There are many individuals and sectors to blame, such as agri-food, aviation, haulage, and the media. https://doras.dcu.ie/30072/1/Climate-Obstruction-in-Ireland_Kelly%2C McNally%2C Stephens_ 2024.pdf

    I imagine a similar article exists for your country. Feel free to share a link.

      There’s also an organized and well funded misinformation campaign across all media. Right wing oligarchs.

      It’s very ironic how many of the sectors pushing for climate obstructionism are among the ones to be most affected by climate change

        Absolutely. Farmers and haulers protested in Ireland over fuel prices. Those two groups have spend years opposing alternative energy sources that could have helped them today. Plenty of other examples.

          Aviation as well. The more unpredictable the climate becomes, the more complex flying with safety will be

    I feel bad for all the native animals and plants that aren’t acclimated to the warmer weather. Also, am I reading that correct? 18°C? That’s mild where I live lol.

    Edit: Or is it saying +18°C? Confusing map

      The tiny text above the map explains the map. It’s the temperature anomaly, so how much warmer June 21st 2026 was than some ‘normal’ level, with the normal level presumably based on historical June 21sts or historical June days at each point of the map.

        I saw it, it just was a little confusing to see what the data was trying to represent. Anomaly makes it seem like the temperature itself was the anomaly. It would make more sense to just say Temperature Variance to me.

      Yep, agreed with the previous commenter. +18 means that temperature is 18°C higher than the norm for June (in that area) Ireland swelters under 26° and full sun, which is definitely unusual here, it should be 15°C and rainy.

        Damn, that is bad then. I’m very sad to hear Ireland is getting so hot. That flora is beautiful there. Also, 26°C is crazy. That’s a nice summer where I live, but I live in a subtropical climate.
