June 2019 was hottest on record for the globe

July feels way worse, almost every day is like living in a fucking furnace

Well, here where I live, it felt like last month for early and mid July(which was pretty decent temperature wise) but since roughly around the 20th of July, it really is beginning to boil. Also damn, it looks like a 2nd heatwave of the summer is about to hit Europe again particularly France and Spain and the Benelux countries.

[Lanoraie II]

Thank God it was actually really cool here for all of June. We had one of the coldest winters in the past 20 years where I live and our summer started off very cold and rainy, and even though it got up to 90F (EW) it was followed by an intense, long thunderstorm and tons of rain. Actually, we had a weird thing happen where I live. Nearly every day from mid June to mid July we would get 3-7 mini thunderstorms. Seriously. It was so weird. There'd be 1-3 claps of thunder, then it'd go away, the sky would be clear again, and then 20-40 minutes later another entirely separate one shows up. I hope it stays rainy the rest of the year because this whole edging the 90s shit ain't cute.

The excessive focus on climate change is a mistake TBH. It is clearly not working.
Millions die from air pollution every year. Climate change is a big environmental concern but hardly the only one.

It’s hardly a mistake, climate change is the most real and biggest threat to us a species compared to anything else in human history. You can’t really trivialize climate change like this.

You are missing the point.
Pragmatically it is obviously a mistake. Because it is not working.
It is too abstract to really resonate.

The current strategy is not working, so we need a new one. Saying we should frame it in a different way is not trivializing it. Just playing it smart.

If taking a different approach gets us the results we want, it is the better approach.

This is not about which is the greater threat, this is about what will get people to take action.
I never said we stop talking about climate change, but stop talking ONLY about climate change.
Keeping climate change for the people it works with, but for those it does not work with focus on a different aspect that resonates better.

Like dying of cancer from air pollution. It is more immediate and easier for a layperson to understand.

The worst thing about summer is that it tends to bring all the most unwelcome out to play.

A mammal species became extinct. That is destruction.

One, single, minor specie. Not what I call "destruction".

You realize we're in most practical terms, in another extinction?

But yeah, just minor stuff right.

That's cause no one knows about it or we don't have enough knowledge about it to actually measure the damage until it's in our face.

I think its a good reminder that even in our current day, as we just celebrated the anniversary of the first moon landings. We still don't know jack about much of this planets ecosystem.

Hard to say exactly since there are more than one species. But considering every species has a role in our planet, probably not the best thing for them to go extinct, especially if we don't actually know much about its role (for all we know, it could have been incredibly important). If you actually care, I guess you could look up the Wiki for each and everything listed on the site.

[Te Netherlands]

In the Netherlands we also have extreme heat today and tomorrow, tomorrow the temperature will be 39 degrees Celsius

People tend to protect the economy more than protect the ecosystem, so it’s not really a surprise. I doubt this will stop, since we get huge financial benefits now.

It’s safe to say that a steep incline in average temperature may affect species who may not be given time and space to adapt to the ever increasing heat.

Butterfly effect, my dear. Never is it more noticeable than in the food chain.

the very hot sause

Mother Earth worked up a major sweat last month. Scorching temperatures made June 2019 the hottest June on record for the globe. And for the second month in a row, warmth brought Antarctic sea-ice coverage to a new low for June.

Here’s a closer look into NOAA’s latest monthly global climate report:

Climate by the numbers
June 2019
The average global temperature in June was 1.71 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 59.9 degrees, making it the hottest June in the 140-year record, according scientists to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.

Nine of the 10 hottest Junes have occurred since 2010. Last month also was the 43rd consecutive June and 414th consecutive month with above-average global temperatures.

Year to date I January through June
The period from January through June produced a global temperature 1.71 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 56.3 degrees, tying with 2017, as the second-hottest year to date on record.

It was the hottest first half of the year for: South America, parts of the southern portion of Africa, Madagascar, New Zealand, Alaska, western Canada, Mexico, eastern Asia, the Atlantic and Indian oceans, and the Bering Sea.

More notable stats and facts
Sea ice keeps melting: Average Antarctic sea-ice coverage was 8.5% below the 1981-2010 average – the smallest on record for June. Average Arctic sea ice coverage was 10.5% below average – the second-smallest on record for June.

A slightly cooler year, so far, for some: The contiguous U.S. and southern Canada had year-to-date temperatures at least 1.8 degrees F cooler than average.

More proof on top of the insurmountable pile of proof that Global Warming is fucking us up big time.

All of mankind needs to drastically change our ways now.

We need more fission plants and dams. We need fusion.

We need electric cars.

But what say you NSG?

It's part of a planetary terraforming from O2 to CO2 conditions. Hot temperatures from Venus and weather from Mars. Just that the life on earth suffers. It's reverse terra-formation.

Do you want electric cars? Bad news: companies didn't empty the oil sources.

Nuclear Power plant? Ok, just make sure to keep them safe. You don't want another Chernobyl, right?

Plastic replacement? sorry, nothing yet to replace the Oil sources.

Need Oxygen? We found chemicals to produce it, so humans continue cutting trees.

Recycle needs? We've got lot of garbage to check for.

Need clean water? Buy it! If prices raise higher then work harder and more till you can buy enough.

Need food? Buy it! We've got industry for that.

Too old to work? None will spend his money for the unemployed in a dying world.

No more resources on earth? Don't worry, the Elites will move with their loyal workers to another planet to consume its resources till emptying that same.

Oh, forgot, you may not be part of the Elites working soldiers. Don't worry, you'll get a desert planet to rest your bones if the acid rains don't touch.

Do you want a better world than such a future? Then move from the couch and take actions to save the world you live in. Nobody else does that in your place. Later won't exist.

[Ayissor]

Can I turn this into a rant against capitalism, please?
The sad part is, we cannot do anything about it without dethroning all of the oligarchs, they don't care how they make money, even if it means the world will literally burn.

One, single, minor specie. Not what I call "destruction".

That one specie is now dead.

That is destruction of an entire animal specie. Quite literally destruction.

I still think that is too abstract and probably too late.

Instead of trying to explain why they need to care about the extinction of these species, I think it is more effective to say “air pollution is literally poison and kills millions via lung cancer and other disease”.
