Ignore the Heat [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-04-02 Have you heard that boring drone of doomer news…. “It’s record breaking heat” day, week, month year … again.. San Antonio Texas can expect to hit 100 this week … so what, we don’t want to know. People do not want to read about it, so it won’t get coverage. It’ll be HOT Monday. Temperatures will approach 90 degrees in San Antonio and near 100 degrees along the Rio Grande. https://www.ksat.com/weather/2024/04/01/a-few-storms-possible-late-monday-evening/ They are not alone in the heat https://dailynewshungary.com/four-categories-broke-the-heat-record-on-1-april-in-hungary/ https://time.com/6554830/2023-hottest-year-ever/ https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/06/climate/hottest-february-climate-copernicus-record-intl/index.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/germanys-warmest-ever-march-follows-114611325.html https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/met-office-speaks-out-over-28926560 https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/considerable-pendulum-temperature-swing-expected-in-alberta-as-april-begins And then the flash droughts and the fires will come. The poles will take a beating .. maybe they will be ice free? Watch for the ever elusive “ WITHIN ” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/weather/2024/03/05/arctic-ice-free-within-decade/72843353007/ Could https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240305134203.htm When it comes to an ice free pole, the reporting of false hope is greatest. Why? well — once we get to a “blue ocean event” we are done for as humans in very short order. A year, maybe 2 for the lucky If you follow climate reporting to any degree you will be familiar with false calm. The headline will shock you — just enough — to click. the author will calm you down telling you “within the next ____ years” it will be really bad. Typically — the more popular the source the larger the window of time, and the greater the illusion. If I drop dead tomorrow — i will have died within the next million years. I could be dead in the next century. If i don’t change now there is a chance i will die younger than i expect… etc… I could post 1,000’s more links that couches the impending increases and inevitable extinction of humans in literary cocoons of “ within” “may” “could” etc… Do you really need some a-hole on KOS telling you that we have crossed the tipping points? Turn your head, change the channel. Don’t let it bring you down, we still have time. Humans are resilient……. real problem solvers — 8 billion of them. The mythical “science” will save them.

Do you really need some literary panache to get the medicine down? The dashboard is not turning down. It tells the tale. Just look. It’s very simple — like the heat indicator on the car dashboard — do you really need to know the exact temperature of your car to know it is overheating? https://www.climate.gov/climatedashboard If this article gets 100 clicks today — none of the angered doubters will look at the dashboard. so go ahead and work that elfin magic on yourself and convince yourself that the reality you wish you had is in fact the one you do have. … [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/4/2/2233013/-Ignore-the-Heat?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=more_community&pm_medium=web Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
