Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hopefully this can accelerate some good anti-heat paint and solar shade projects.

I'm ready for companies to do their ad campaigns about how they are saving the earth with their new policies and products.

Fuck it, please just profit from saving the earth. I dont care if its just doing what we've been asking them to do for the past 30yrs.

Oh, they'll do the ad campaigns and raise the prices in the name of green-ness.

Don't expect them to actually contribute in any meaningful way though.

They know the game over screen is coming as much as we do, they're just going for the high score first.

I've essentially given up that our planet, or the human race is gonna survive another few generations. It literally all feels so empty and I have no desire to have kids who will ultimately have to live through the boiling temperatures. Either population collapse, or the planet dying off will result in society falling apart.

Worse part will be Christmas diner

Well okay, maybe that's not as bad as complete collapse and mass deaths and migrants drowning in the Mediterranean and malaria

But still, Christmas dinner is gonna suck more and more

If this was 20 years ago, I’d have zero kids.

Looks like we've entered a completely new regime now.

Meanwhile, in England, it’s been 18-20 degrees for the entirety of July so far
