Wouldn't say so, Elninio was this year as well, there is a decent chance that next year gets more tame.

But your spirit isn't wrong.

Strangely, North America often seems to dodge the worst of the heat on these maps. I feel this is actually somewhat unfortunate on a global scale, sound we have a lot of power and tend to be a substantial obstacle to energy policy change.

I've lived in Texas for twenty years, and this summer has been the most unbearable.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Texas and Mexico did experience a very hot summer but you can see from the rest of the map that other parts of the continent did not.

Do you think we'll see a lot of people moving north due to this?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Can only think of one comparable summer about a decade ago.

I'm so sure that unfortunately some people would still point to record low weather when winter comes and say that climate change is a hoax.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah I live in Ontario near the great lakes and our last 2 summers have actually been relatively cool and we've had lots of rain too. I bet there are a lot of boomers that live around the great lakes that think climate change is complete horse shit, just because we've barely experienced anything negative yet.

But we also had all the smoke from the wildfires this year, we had a crazy snow storm the last 2 winters and last spring we had a wind storm that did tons of damage and knocked out power for days. So there are some negative things, just depends on if people believe it or not.

Florida could use a few extreme heatwaves.

Weird that you're all calling it "Earth's summer" when it's only been summer in the Northern hemisphere.. Not arguing the point, just saying it sure hasn't been summer down here in Australia

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

88% of all humans live in the northern hemisphere.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

And yet human pollution affects everyone

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Summer "this year" started for the southern Hemisphere last December 21st. So minus those 9 days from the previous year, it doesn't seem odd to say "Earth's summer", no?

just saying it sure hasn't been summer down here in Australia

Your turn's coming up. homer-bye

Did the Southern hemisphere have a summer this year?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

2 months of a La Nina Summer. Definitely not the hottest.

Edit: Downvoted for a factual statement of the weather in January/February of 2023 in Australia. Welcome to the new Lemmy.

This arctic melting season has been weird as hell, too

Below all expectations basically all summer and then mayhem those past two weeks - went from a "not that bad" year to "third lowest on record" (and possibly second, because it's September 18th and it's still melting yet)

With El Niño picking up, 2024 will most likely be hell

Sad part is it was hot AF this summer and my area isnt even in the red shaded areas.

I'm sure continuing to subsidize fossil fuel industry is going to make things even better going forward.
