Why aren't you telling the politicians?

 

[DeacHead]

I'm sure it was hotter 4 billion years ago.

It always seemed like we’d have more time. Like this stuff was supposed happen, but way off in the future. Like maybe my grand kids would have to deal with all these dire predictions. But we are in it now.

 

[Demonwolverine]

Yeah, but don't you sleep better knowing oil tycoons are still comfortable?

If nothing else, it has helped me move past some life issues I’ve been having. No need to waste precious time being angry at people at this point given what seems like the rapidly imminent collapse of life as we know it.

Thank you for this. I’ve also come to terms with the fact that since my inheritance is all wrapped up in costal Florida property that will be under water and worthless soon, no need to put up with my mom’s bullshit anymore.

US heatwave leads to rising number of burns, medics say

Superheated asphalt or metal seatbelts can melt flesh in minutes, officials warn amid intense heat.

People in Phoenix are getting second and third degree burns from falling/sitting on the pavement and not getting up within a few seconds. Probably fine.

I have no idea how homeless are surviving in Phx right now. The low has gone below 90 once since July 8. Everyone here treats it like any other summer though

 

[bym051d]

So many humans shouldn’t be living in Phoenix, period.
