@dirkhh I know and you're right. I'm just being sarcastic. In all probability and these heatwaves continue for the next decades, the warm gulfstream will collapse due to melting glaciers on Greenland adding to much fresh water to the AMOC.
In that case Western Europe will get the same climate as Canada. Much dryer and colder...But the heat as a global energy will stay on the planet. Nothing will be cool anymore, even without the golf stream.
And yes, I "joked" (despite apocalypse not being funny) with a colleague that even regarding temperatures "40 is the new 30": when I was a kid, we talked about 30°C as we now do about 40°C.

@dirkhh @glynmoody is it a rhetorical question?

@dirkhh I'm a little confused. The black and grey parts in the image extend all the way to Ireland. While it's warm here, it's still just the mid twenties here on the East Coast, maybe pushing 30 in the center. Nowhere near the horrific 40 degree heat as seen in France etc.

Black should be reserved for Exxon Heat, that killed 600 in Canada and 1500 in Mecca.
India has thousands of unreported deaths, kept secret by Trumpist Modi government, if you have access to Indian, or any country's Exxon Heat Deaths please reply.

@dirkhh
I think the burned ash tone is very apt. -
So far, scared.

@dirkhh ah yes:
Blue = cool
Yellow = warm
Red = hot
Grey = ahhhhhh, I am burning 🥵, why the fuck did I go outside. -

From a distant perspective: yes. Because there is now an obvious reason to do something that this doesn’t happen again.

@dirkhh They have more colors there but you can’t see them because they’re in the infrared part of the spectrum

@dirkhh we sotheners can now call you laidbacks and criticize your supposed midday nap habits? https://amp.dw.com/en/climate-change-heat-wave-costs-the-german-economy-billions/a-77694558

I hear you. As I said, there are fairly simple limits to what A/C can do.
But with the difficult choice of "promote the essential-to-humanity unlimited growth of AI data centers" and "do the absolute bare minimum to try and slow down climate change", it's obvious that a well bought politician needs to accept option 1...
@dirkhh @etchedpixels Pfft, whatever A/C’s restaurants in the US south use could handle it. When you roll up to the parking lot and the windows are all fogged and dripping with condensation, you know you need to go back home to get your parka.
