Also lol gently caress, suddenly realizing the destruction of fall peak color season is up there with "Hey remember how you used to have to scrape bugs off your windshield?"

Minenfeld! posted:It's really hit certain types of trees in New England harder than others. Sycamores in particular seem hosed up. I remember Halloweens in NE OH being sleet and snow through the 90s but a couple years ago before we moved, it was just light jacket weather every year. Also the leaves in our yard in WNC basically went from green to fallen in a week without any color changes. Now the woods is just half green and half bare. It's bizarre when you take a step back and actually remember the details. On a related note, I've had surprising luck when talking to boomers about climate change by asking when the last time they had to clean bugs off their car. I remember having to scrape that poo poo off my parents' cars as a kid but don't think I've had to do it once as an adult. edit: you fucker

Aaaaahahaha lol you loving assholes, I just did this today and then I come in here and you're all talking it up. Came home for my brothers birthday, looking out over the lake, "holy poo poo dude, the fall colors are gross." Everything is muted and brown-grey-green. Nothing is safe. Every bit of reality cries out for attention and I'm like wtf how are we not all insane like dogs subjected to constant whistles. AHHHHH LOL

It's also worth noting how completely hosed the minimum daily temps are. That's where huge amounts of warming has been taking place.

Yeah that poo poo feeds back into itself too, without these temperature swings stuff never gets a chance to cool off. It's super noticeable if you live in a well-insulated place that happens to get a lot of sunlight, it takes like 5-6 hours after sunset before it finally finishes off-valving all the heat buildup from the day because the temperature difference is much lesser than it used to be.

For as long as I can remember during and after summer when the ground has had time to dry, sunset across California's central valley always has this beautiful orange and pink dust induced spray of color across the horizon. I wonder how much topsoil blowing away each of these pretty evenings represents.

Stereotype posted:apparently Europe is having a huge gas shortage right now. Russia also isn’t selling them any since the EU is insisting on short term contracts because they want to think they are successfully transitioning away from fossil fuels. so now they are burning a ton of coal to make up the difference, lol. huh drat I wonder if there was a clean* energy source they were using without issue that suddenly got phased out after 2011 * not perfectly carbon neutral but you know, much better

Super stoked thinking about what winter is going to be like after losing my electricity for a week last year since Texas has done gently caress all to get ready for the next round. Especially during an energy crisis. Lmao.

SKULL.GIF posted:We're seeing exactly the same issues up here in the Great Lakes. Right now looking outside my window like half the trees are naked after having a 10-day peak color period about 2 weeks ago and the other half are still green, though a dull dark green instead of vibrant. I think it was last year, here around Chicago we had half the trees with most of their green leaves maybe into November. Then there was a really sticky coating of snow that hit us and they all basically dumped their leaves below them in a sad pile overnight when the snow melted off the next day.

SKULL.GIF posted:Also lol gently caress, suddenly realizing the destruction of fall peak color season is up there with "Hey remember how you used to have to scrape bugs off your windshield?" Yep. At least around here, this has actually been a slow, ongoing process for a while now, although this year is really noticeably bad. I know a lot of the bigger maple sugar shacks up in MA, NH, and VT rely on fall visitors and they've been posting messages for a few years letting people know that they should expect peak color season a few weeks later. The problem is that peak color is all about timing and it can't just keep getting shoved back towards November forever. Trees "expect" the temperature change to come with the change in light levels and freezes will usually cause them to just drop, so the whole thing is a bust without a consistent cool period between summer and winter. climate change killing the best season is really rather unsettling imo

I've a feeling that the first toxic algal bloom that results in a mass casualty event will be met with  because we've already normalized mass death with COVID.Or, it'll be answered by formally declaring nature an enemy of mankind, instead of an occasional hindrance to The Almighty Number. Can't have deadly algal blooms if there's no organic life left in the oceans!

A bit more bittersweet now that we've learned planting trees isn't enough. Even if we had some magic wand to grow/mature them more quickly, it's almost like the planet wanted certain/specific trees in certain/specific places for a reason and merely replacing them, even sometimes with the same species, doesn't/won't fix what's broken.

I'm not a climate scientist or anything, but another problem seems to be, the CO2 in the air isnt just from cut down forests, its from fossil products we dug out of the ground. Even if we did roll back society and reforest the world, there'd still be a well over baseline amount of CO2 in the air right?
