No no, it's fine! Nothing is going on! It's all expected and normal.

Except, you know, it's 90f/33c outside. Two days before November.

That's probably not a harbinger of doom or anything.

80f in New Jersey right now. The northeast.

Supposed to be 85f tomorrow.

82F in Oklahoma! Halloween tomorrow, yeah totally normal. /s

Ladies and Gentlemen we are fucked, and if we let Trump win next week. We can bend over and consider the war against climate change lost.

I think the war against climate change is already lost. But the ride down will be worse with Trump at the wheel.

Where is it 90f right now? Not doubting you just curious.

As I'm sure nobody will find surprising, it's Texas.

I just re-checked the local weather station I have in my back yard and I guess it's not actually 90, but 87 right now.

But I mean, that's more than close enough.

It was still in the mid-90s last week, which is just freaking bizarre since October is normally more like 60s and 50s and somewhat wet and you know, Fall-like. Trees still have all their leaves, and such.

It was yesterday in nebraska, then a massive storm just dumped water on us and now it's 60 something

“This report confirms that the world faces planetary scale challenges ... yet it also provides clear pathways and solutions, demonstrating that with urgent, decisive action, we still can avoid unmanageable outcomes,” the researchers wrote.

And anyone with a modicum of power to make these changes will immediately ignore this report.
