The Guardian: "‘Simply mind-boggling’: world record temperature jump in Antarctic raises fears of catastrophe... An unprecedented leap of 38.5C in the coldest place on Earth is a harbinger of a disaster for humans and the local ecosystem " https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/06/simply-mind-boggling-world-record-temperature-jump-in-antarctic-raises-fears-of-catastrophe

@ai6yr this statement evookes so many emotions in me:

“No one in our community thought that anything like this could ever happen. It is extraordinary and a real concern,”

climate scientists have probably had to be relatively cautious to reach such a massive consensus. but there are clearly unknowns in this system. no one really knows what we're messing with

@ai6yr This is not the only recent bad news #climatechange article. There are many. In fact, I can’t remember reading anything positive for a long time. Sure, lots of talking and pledges and schoolchildren planting trees and people giving up meat. Get real! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE! 🔥 That is where we stand today. All of us. There is no fire department! Our house is going to become increasingly uninhabitable if there is not immediate action and massive change on a global scale.

@ai6yr Sorry for the yelling. I should really stop reading the news and just putter about with my retirement hobbies and watch the daffodils come up. My family says I make them all anxious when I talk about the climate.

ai6yr,

@meltedcheese Agree with you on both posts (house on fire, but the giving the family climate anxiety thing). Be well!

@meltedcheese
Don't have to look to the news, just have to glance out my window and listen, to understand no one takes any of this serisouly.

Cars, meat eating pets barking loudly, jet contrials, logging trucks rumbling past from logging on the hills.

Even when offered a choice, people vote for the same politicans who they know will do nothing but reinforce the orthodoxy.

@ai6yr

ai6yr,

@largess @meltedcheese We only know how to react to saber tooth tigers... Anything that requires thinking beyond tomorrow, we struggle with.
