The Weather in Europe

[MikelArteta]

Extreme weather: Roads close, 'frightening' fires break out and drought sets in as Portugal's temperatures climb towards 46C

Vegetation is being turned to kindling and firefighters are battling to stay in control with the help of locals as a dangerous heatwave scorches Portugal.

A week of (very) hot weather for France ahead

Temperatures of almost 40C are expected from next week, starting tomorrow and building to a peak come next weekend

Met Office says extreme heat will end next week but we're in for a hot summer

This heat wave feels never-ending, but temperatures will drop soon

we really have destroyed the climate

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

The resource wars to come in the future



shyt only getting warmed up.

Also, the state water wars west of the Mississippi due to drought. We have failed our children and grandchildren.

How do you fail something that's by design.

TO PUT IN PERSPECTIVE

40 CELSIUS IS 104EGREES FARENHEIT
30 Celsius IS 86 DEGREES FARENHEIT

ANYTHING over like 33C to them Europeans cacs is damn near death....they not built for that heat.


Meanwhile being born in New Jersey you expect Temps to be atleast 80F or 30celsius from June to September atleast.


In the south?




Texas brehs see 40Celsius..100F from like MAY TO OCTOBER

This shyt is not sustainable.

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Cacs have destroyed this planet in less than 100 years

 

[IIVI]

Would be nice to crank the AC over the summer and heater in the winter, except:






Them going full on Republican coming back to put that country and their allies around them in shambles.

 

[Windows 91]

Only 100F?

Just kidding, probably awful over there since alot of folks don't have A/C. Reminds me of the crazy heatwave up in the PNW last year. These places are not supposed to be seeing temps like that.

From an engineering standpoint, i find this all silly. We couldve solved this problem a decade ago by setting up solar shades or by using chemical means in the atmoshpere.


As for the shades, We dont need all the light from the sun, we are currently able to filter out a great deal of infrared light with a relative cheap, thin atmospheric film in geo-orbit. With the chemicals, the aim is to just replicate the effect of volcanic ash (with non toxic particles) by reflecting sunlight off of sulfate particles. Either of these measures could solve global warming in less than a year.



These arent even that costly, as far as scientific measures go. Global govts are being short sighted in my oppion. And of course the same group of conservative anti-science weirdos that were against the covid vaccines will also throw a tantrum for this.
