global warning
The meme is technically correct then.
What?? We’ve had many global warming warnings…. Globally!
Nah I think we’ve had the warnings and the is the “find out” part
Well at least they're consistent.

How dare you, have some compassion, now is NOT the time to talk about Global "Warming" or whatever conspiracy you're hawking today. Our thoughts should be with the people, we should be sending thoughts and prayers, and you just want to make it all "political".

OBVIOUSLY THEY DESERVED IT BECAUSE THEY'RE A BUNCH OF HEATHENS
Oh yeah. We're doing fine as a country. The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified. We're stupid dumb monkey brained though and can't think of anything beyond "I got mine"
The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified.
Unified? With those disgusting foreigners? The degenerate leftists? The weird religious wackos? The MAGA chuds? The neoliberal shills? The Tankies? The know-nothing hoy paloy? The Epstein-loving bourgeois? The Hollywood sickos? The losers? The haters? The freaks? And some, of course, who I assume are nice people?
There's a lot of natural social divides that are difficult to surmount. But more frustrating and complicated than that, we have a certain number of scammers and opportunists who will step in and seize the banner of a popular front for self-promotion.
We saw this during OWS, during BLM, during the Climate marches, and during the Tea Party protests. Lots of would-be celebrities simply rush in and start hawking their brands under anything with serious mass appeal. Whether its a Sanders socialism or a Trump fascism or a Buttigieg radical centrism, I regularly see media jammed up with the same clown car of Hawk Tuah Girl promotionals that quickly drown out any kind of serious organizing.
This, combined with the heavy hand of corporate/political censorship that lands on the back of the more sincere and credible activists, disrupts the organic popular movements and obscures them with layer after layer of scam. AI is supercharging the process.
Case in point, any time I say something positive about Gaza or critical of Israel on Bluesky, my mentions fill up with generic 2-day-old accounts showing vaguely Arab-looking profiles asking for donations to relief organizations I've never heard of. Organizing in an environment that's overflowing with these kinds of scams - and, consequently, cultivating a ton of cynicism in the audience - is very difficult.
BLM is a great example. I remember being so mad, and wanting something to change, and there was a huge, massive cultural shift for it. I remember thinking how if everyone would unify behind one thing, we wanted one systemic thing to change - demilitarization of the police as an example, we could probably have done it. Everyone chanting and demanding the same one thing. Then we move onto the next, and the next, and the next.
Instead we got a list of like, 24 things that random people collected from chat rooms and online forums that they demanded. There was no way anyone was going to see a list that large and just say "Yup okay we're on it". But people wouldn't budge, their thing was the most important, it was all or nothing - and so that's what we got. Nothing. We could have had some huge systemic change there and instead nothing happened.
Occupy, BLM, protests, they're all well and good but they depend on people unifying. This here, this is the thing we want. Make it a bill and push it through now. It won't encompass everything. It won't be perfect. But it's progress. Instead we just go back and forth, and they know all they have to do is wait out the outcry until people get bored and they move on, so we can keep the status quo.
Cultural pollution. We are losing the ability to agree and act, piece by piece.
I dislike misanthropy, so I don't think there's no hope left, but climate change shows us how we built claims of self-autonomy, equality and compassion on a foundation of fake-it-till-we-make-it, thus on a foundation that is, simply put, not up to the task of our times.
As MAGA/ADL would say it is "pro hamas woke climate alarmists supporting DEI" that make Jewish Space Lazers cause all of this.
You won't convince people if you use the term "warming" and then present them snow in Texas. Climate change is the right expression.
The Guardian now uses "climate crisis".
Warning*
You forgot the smelt.
Well, you know... you can't attribute any one event with certainty.
Only 9 of the last 10 apocalypses were caused by global warming, and we can't really tell you which ones...
I talked with friends in the midwest after the 3rd consecutive year with worst storms on record. "Yeah okay they're bad, but there's not a pattern or anything, it was just a bad storm." THREE. CONSECUTIVE. YEARS. People for fucks sake maybe, just maybe this stuff is connected?!
This isn't global warming this is just .....
God, can we please get an intermission?
the picture on the bottom right is from a water park for cars, it is NOT global warning
Top right looks like my bedroom. Also, not global working.
top left is from like Europe or Africa or one of the other snow countries, also not global warming
I liked yesterday's picture of the Titanic nosing deeply into the water and somebody up on the stern end saying if we're supposedly "sinking" how are we up so high? Classic denialist mentality. Unfortunately also typical of the meme-level thinking people do on most issues now.
Oh, I need that pic.
They voted trump back in to the white house, there's no hope for them.
As an American trapped inside with these proudly ignorant fuckwits, can confirm.
Good luck when climate change makes us desperate though. There's literally only one thing we are genuinely very, very good at, to my shame; mass production of the means of mass murder. It's pathetic how many of my fellow Americans take a perverse pride in this.
I genuinely fear for the rest of the world when the water wars start. We're idiocracy with a cartoonishly big stick we're absolutely dumb and petty enough to use.
Once we smash enough stuff the stick will start smashing us too, don't worry.
By a much bigger margin than the first time. After seeing what he did the first time. Triple wham.
Agent Smith (the Wachowskis) had us dead to rights.
We are a macro cancer of the natural world. You can point to our supposed good works, but from the perspective of most surface life, well... the surface life we haven't yet exterminated in the name of glorious economic metastasis, we are a fucking plague.
Metastatic tumors refuse to stop too. It's in their nature.
I find consolation in knowing we aren't the first macro cancer Earth has survived, see the trees of the carboniferous period, and life will survive our species' very loud, eager murder suicide.
We really did peak in 1999. Too bad that was the year I was born…
Good thing we kept out BluEMaGa guys!
Lol what happened to the bluemega guy? He was in every political thread until recently. Hmmmm
Ikr, and there was def more than one, suspiciously silent after November lol
Sigh. I have nothing to say to you guys anymore. Just sigh.
Did we change the term to "global warning"?
That was a previous term for climate change.
No, the term was "global warming"
Didn’t notice until you pointed it out
global warming is the raising of the global average surface temperature. This causes climates of many regions to change. It wasn't renamed, it's just two connected phenomena
You didn't read my comment or the post?
Woosh
most recent interesting news i heard was it being attributed to some fancy "DEI" term.
if anybody can give more clarity on what the fancy term is and how, if even, remotely it is to said disasters, i'd appreciate it a lot.
DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion. They are basically saying that the fires are so bad because they hired a bunch of women, black and gay people. If they had only hired MEN (TM) to the fire departements, they would have it under control by now!
Thanks for the clarification! Very well explained!
They are saying that the fire department, city, and state leaders were focused more on diversity than on the responsibilities entrusted to them to prevent fires, and ensure adequate water supply in case of a major fire. Someone also said that their intentional exclusion of white men from firefighter candidacy pools led to their lack of manpower to effectively fight the fire.
I believe the fancy "DEI term" is the N word, unfortunately.
The great thing about the palisades fires, they increased police presence and cut fire fighters so you know there was 0 homeless presence. Only rich bastards that can either afford it, or deserve it.
But it's cold where I live! /s
Well, yeah. Hehe. The first image with a plow in the snow is very normal where I live. And there are millions living with this. It doesn't convey the meaning of snow where it doesn't normally snow, or bigger snowstorms when they happen, to people living where it snows regularly for a big chunk of the year, but I understand the spirit of the whole anyway.
Or places that normally get snow are getting less and less.
Drill babbbyyyyy drill.
Evacuation drill?
There's a lot of shame being an American these days..
But, like, at least we can spell.
'you speak English because its the only language you speak, I speak English because it's the only language you speak. we are not the same.'-some random guy some time ago
Color is not a valid spelling
If you speak English everything you spell is objectively wrong to its phonetically correct counterparts you are just following culture rather than being 'correct'
If you wish to be correct develop a method of writing that uses English's fuck load of hidden vowels and consonants to have a 60 letter long alphabet which is also phonetically correct!
Americans are actually a bit closer than the rest of us, e.g. erbs is the original pronounciation of herbs with the H being picked up in the UK initially by the upper classes and eventually everyone else, literally just because it sounded more grandiose, though the root latin word does include an h. (the presence of an H in english has been intermittent)
Aluminum is also closer to the intended pronounciation at least by the guy who came up with the first decent process for refining it.
IT'S THE LEFT
Deregulated weather
Privatize the weather!
I mean yes, but also
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_greenhouse_gas_emissions
The US by far gets the most press, and has some of the most braindead responses to the climate crisis, but it’s a big club of assholes, and America is just a part of it
Now show us per capita
How does this change my message that the US isn’t the only player in this game?
Edit:
According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_greenhouse_gas_emissions_per_capita
By percent of global average
I seriously thought they were talking about giving out a global warning or something and scrolled by confused, scrolling Lemmy again and seeing it once more I realized they were talking global warming
You've been warmed about this warning
Ez fix, just get Nuclear Winter to counteract it
Well the first one is just a normal Tuesday. Still likely effected by global warming, but not really disasters like the other three.
Well the first one is just a normal
For folks in the south?
Well it is now.
As more and more of the US economy is dominated by energy extraction (O&G sector consistently has some of the largest margins and highest pay rates in Red and Purple States) and energy consumption (AI data centers are electricity hogs, automotive/airline industry is a voracious petroleum consumer, real estate HVAC hits the grid hard during heat waves/freezes) it becomes difficult to convince people of a thing that they are paid well not to believe.
The risk of a natural disaster obliterating your livelihood in an instant is much lower than the prospect of a creditor foreclosing on your property and savings if you're unemployed for too long.
wasn't it called climate change?
Nah now it's climate exchange
We might be at climate conundrum, survival of life as we know it or more short term profit for the few.
global warming is the raising of the global average surface temperature. This causes climates of many regions to change. It wasn't renamed, it's just two connected phenomena
The post says "global warning"
The Bush administration coined the term climate change to try and soften the urgent or legitimacy of the issue, Bush at one point owned an oil company.
The Bushes owned fucking Texas, and expanded into Florida.
