A brief excerpt from the article:
Temperatures in the Antarctic reached a high of 15.4C on 6 June, UK newspaper The Guardian reports. The data was logged by the Argentinian Esperanza base on the Trinity peninsula.
That’s about 59.7F at that base for those that need the conversion, the previous record was 2C [35.6F] 13.4C [56.1F] at that station.
EDITs 1 & 2: I misread so typed the wrong thing, I have fixed it now.
Yeah, it’s been a long time since I studied the various ice shelves in Antarctica, but what I remember is that a mechanical failure on pretty much every identified coastal fault line had a corresponding global sea level rise in the tens of cm over just a handful of years.
If you’re under 50, you’re gonna see tens of millions of people get displaced. This is going to create some incredible pinch points all over the Earth. It’s not entirely our fault but it’s 100% our problem.
Meanwhile lets increase our global energy consumption with a couple of hundred percent for the sake of AI datacenters. It is extremely important we let our trillionaire oligarchs suck out some more stock value before we all drown.
Don’t like immigrants? Stop burning oil.
That’s ok we have a plan for that: we’ll murder them!
