I've been told that AI will fix this

Once and for all

Every single metric that was laid out decades ago has not only been reached it has been surpassed. We're so fucking fucked on an unimaginable scale and it's honestly terrifying how no one seems to care.

Humans are remarkably good at not caring about something until it affects them personally at which point it's too late to do anything about it

[–] ZMoney@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

I'm really looking forward to the deaths of oldest, stupidest, and loudest of the people who don't care. In fact, many of them die every day. As the salt water infiltrates their reinforced caskets and slowly attacks their preservative-ridden corpses, the planet heals itself.

Imagine you were born into a world that just experienced the defeat of fascism, the dawn of the nuclear age, the green revolution, the triumph of fordist production, and Keynesian economics. You might have been arrogant enough to think you've conquered nature, too.

On the bright side we may uncover more Otzis.

Meanwhile in Central Europe there’s snowfall in the alps and max temperatures are below 15C even in the lowlands.

We’re so fucked

I used to ski every year since i was a child, but i took a good 10-12 year break. When i went back in the region i usually went skiing, the glacier was pretty much gone. At least compared to what i remembered. It was quite shocking.

Must be some parallel universe central Europe ...

The measuring station in question is at the Mo i Rana airport, which is at Røssvoll, not Storforshei.

As someone from the village of Røssvoll who's biggest enemy is Storforshei I am very offended by this misattribution! There's almost 3 whole km between these two places!

Also tfw the first time my random small area of middle of nowhere Norway is mentioned is when I'm dying from overheating.

[–] zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago

Crazy, I'm in the Southern California high desert and it's been hotter where you are than where I am. That's not supposed to happen.

[–] vodka@feddit.org 46 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Nevermind, I looked into this. It is some unofficial measuring station and not an official station (which the one at Røssvoll is)

[–] topherclay@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

I like that when you come back with more accurate information it's to dunk on the illegitimacy of your rival towns weather station.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Mo I Rana doesn't exist. It's a fasade put up to hide the government facilities from people on the train. I only knew one dude from Mo i Rana and he was definitely a robot.

[–] vodka@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That would explain why the town has so many people employed by the government.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but skatteetaten is just a plausible cover for what they're actually doing there. All the skatteetaten jobs have been automated for years.

[–] vodka@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

I agree, especially considering how much the government is hollowing out a mountain for Nasjonalbiblioteket. There's no way you'd need that much space just for storing some books.

Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.
