Look on the bright side: it's coolest summer of the rest of our lives!

I am so done with it. I would like to stop melting please.

[-] angelsomething@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago

And it’s always with pictures of people near water fountain.

I really fear that most people will just get to winter and stop thinking of climate change at all, way too many people just completely ignore problems they aren't directly affected by

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It won’t be long before it affects everyone and you won’t have a choice but to think about it. I’ll give it 5-10 years.

I live in Australia and don't have air-conditioning. I'm scared I'm might die this summer.

[-] MediciPrime@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I have had that same fear since air-conditioning is useless w/o electricity. Although heatstroke is largely painless, you kinda just fall asleep.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Well, that's alright then

[-] Lycerius@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It was 103°F at 7pm this evening 😔

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It was 91 F at 7:45 pm at my place. I hated it

[-] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Can't wait to read this exact same headline every year until I die of heatstroke

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Hottest summer on record so far.

They made changes to emissions rules for ships that caused less cloud over the ocean, which increased temperature.

The good news is that we can make clouds other ways, and now know how much cooling it takes so we can do it in a controlled manner.

Doctor, are you saying I don't need to change my habits and stop my alcoholism in order to help my dying liver? I can just eat painkillers and will feel like normal? Cheers!

It’s more like a heroin addict taking methadone instead.

[-] TruTollTroll@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Which is not as successful for most... but hey a few got clean from it, so it's must be efficient

[-] mranachi@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago

Yes, but the estimated effect on global average temperature this change imparts is 0.05C by 2050

And whilst we could add more, I'm not convinced acid rain is the winning trade of for controlling global warming.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago

We don't need to use sulfur oxides to do it. One strategy I saw was to send seawater through misters that will aerosolize the salt and seed clouds. And now that we know how much that effect is, we know how much cloud seeding we need to do.

Who's paying for it?

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
