And the melody is based on a Soviet march song. (Link leads to YouTube song)

So far the only users I block are bots that post from reddit. Annoying stuff that is.

Damn, I should have invested in that stock with the strange name "Atlantic sea surface temperature"! /s

There may be a fourth or more factors contributing. This article mentions global warming, el niño and dust particles, in other articles scientists speculate also that reduced shipping emissions may have lead to a weakening of a cooling effect in that area.

A VPN is not necessary for torrent usage.

But if you live in a country that enforces copy right etc online, it's highly recommended, as a VPN will make it almost impossible to track you down.

A VPN is like a costume. You don't need to wear one to do something illegal, but wearing one will make it much harder for authorities to identify you.

I found the game controller thing strange at the beginning, too. But then I heard that the Us Navy is using them, too. Although not for steering but for their periscopes.

What I find really dumb is that the crew is bolted in from outside and there is no mechanism to open the vessel from the inside.

Not that it matters much when you're drifting on the open ocean.

And not painting the thing yellow or orange or something that pops, especially when it's not connected to a ship via cables and when the crew can't open the hatch themselves.

What I found kind of amusing is that people pay a quarter million and then have to take turns looking out a small window.

You are right, of course they are doing things. But as you said, it's not even close to being enough. And I know in politics one must find compromises etc, I also understand times are rough with crisis and wars and whatnot.

Meanwhile scientists are "shouting" we have to get together, now, everybody, full effort and I just don't see this happening.

It's not like we'll get a second chance.

Bla bla bla. The time for words is long over. I want to see governments getting their shit together and actually do something rather than writing fancy letters.

This is hilarious and amazing at the same time! Thank you for sharing!

No worries, just wait for the ice to melt and the gulf stream to stop flowing. It'll cool down in no time! Maybe a disrupted polar vortex will then change from Siberian winters to Sahara heat summers and back every few weeks. While groundwater might be just as scarce as in the desert.

Anyway, don't touch the economy or do you wanna end up in jail like other climate terrorists?

(Obviously sarcasm)

Edit: Regarding the "positive note":

But, in one positive sign for the future, the report noted that wind and solar power generated 22.3 percent of European Union electricity in 2022, overtaking fossil gas (20 percent) for the first time.

Keep in mind that electricity is only responsible for a part of emissions. Even with 100 % green electricity one would be far from reaching net zero. Other big emitters are industry, transport and heating.

I'm not from here, but I like k-beans.

(I don't wanna be offensive)

Yeah, but I understand that it might be overwhelmed these days. Sorry for the passive aggressive sounding nay on your example list. I really just wanted to give a neutral sounding nay as a parent comment.
