South Atlantic tropical cyclone Iba has formed because why not. SHem Atlantic tropical cyclones are uncommon but not unheard of. Overall the SHem tropical cyclone season has been wild this year.

Cyclone Idai death toll passes 750 with more than 110,000 now in camps


cool now that the #russiagate poo poo is done, the american mainstream media and cable news will surely pivot their breathless coverage to climate change...

also haha it's going wreck the cruise ship economy (good riddance - they are loving horrible). That Norwegian one just got wrecked by 26 ft swells and 500 people had to be airlifted off. Last week, we had a couple of people come into our ER after a "rogue wave" tilted a cruise ship and got badly injured. Nothing like getting broken bones, head injuries and cuts days out from the nearest hospitals.

You seem to be very new to the american political scene. It's going to be wall to wall Russiagate and House circuses until the primaries start heating up (Democrats remember Benghazi yo). Then it will be wall to wall primaries. Then wall to wall election horseracing. Spring 2021 for a pivot at the soonest.

hot take

most of the american public probably still thinks "2 degrees" is measured in fahrenheit, and/or don't understand the conversion

Thinking to myself: I actually don't know what 2C is in Fahrenheit.

*Looks it up*

Oh gently caress. 35F is waaay more more than I thought.

We're all gonna die.

edit: oh wait no it's 3.6F. Thanks education system

and yeah mosquitos are doing pretty well out of climate change so far. I've seen pictures of old uni friends going for hikes in scotland last summer. they're dressed in what look like full body beekeeping suits because otherwise they would be eaten alive

Look at it this way: If progress on climate change is at all possible, someone will need to contribute to it. Aren’t your potential children among the most likely people to do that? If nothing else, they have an above-average chance of voting for political remedies for the problem, given how you will raise and instruct them.
flawless reasoning imo

the boomer solution to climate change is literally "have a lot of kids and hope one of them solves the problem", it's probably the most boomer thing: create a problem then hope your kids fix it

like first of all any kids born after that article was written have to go at least 18 years before they even might get the chance to vote on climate-related policies, and lol just lol if your plan to survive climate change is "do nothing for the next 18 years and hope my kids vote to fix it"

Climate reform could have happened if it had public buy-in like the pro-gun and anti-abortion causes had. Ultimately, the public was indifferent and voted against any kind of policy that would be inconvenient.

Climate reform could have happened if Obama hadn’t intentionally sabotaged it to get some ego boosting headlines about bipartisanship.

And he still literally demands we thank him for doing it.

we came real close in the 80s to having actual buy-in on climate change policies, especially after the relative success of getting everyone on board the CFC ban. then the money started flowing in
