It can't be that cold, they're naked except for the hats!

Temperature translation for non-Americans:

70°F ≈ 21.1°C
50°F = 10°C
20°F ≈ -6.7°C

I can't remember where I first read it but I've agreed with it ever since: "My retirement plan is dying in the potable water riots."

Great. Thanks. Now I can't get the image of Kevin Costner pissing into a funnel out of my head.

You do realize that we won’t be free of the effects, right? Where do you think all the climate refugees are going to go?

But this is clearly written from the perspective of someone who lives in a climate that used to be solidly below freezing all through the winter months in the northern hemisphere. Now snow seems like a distant memory from childhood.

21°C/70°F is a normal winter temperature where I'm from in the southern hemisphere 🥲

And right now it's summer... let's put it this way, lately it's been over 40°C/104°F for so many weeks in a row that, when temperatures dipped to 33°C/91°F, it felt cold... and to think it's only going to get worse going forward @_@

The crazy part is I have friends who are well aware that the world is completely fucked and they are still making new children.

The German equivalent of JustStopOil is called the Last Generation (or letzte Generation). The official name is like the last generation that can hold up climate crises, but the implication is clear

Ah, being intentionally obtuse.

Yeah I never expected a nice day in December to bring such existential dread.

You should look at the winter that recently ended in the southern hemisphere - record ice shelf losses during winter, record high temps in Rio and other cities. In winter.

And it's just getting more and more brutal.

"The slowly comprehending of the ending of it all."

It was okay at best lol.

Was it?
