it’s never a normal temperature anymore it’s always some fucking bullshit
I need you young people to know it was almost never this hot when I was a child. Millennials and Gen Xers are all nostalgic and excited about summer because it was about ten to twenty degrees cooler to experience it back then!
I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.
But any time you wonder wtf the weather is doing- THIS IS NOT NORMAL, NO. THIS IS NOT WHAT IT WAS EVEN TWENTY YEARS AGO.
I've tried to explain to younger people time and time again that what is considered average summer temps in my part of the world now used to be considered a heatwave just 20 years ago. AND we have a lot more heatwaves on TOP of that. (Do not use numbers or some dingus who lives in a literal desert will appear from nowhere to tell you ThAt'S nOtHiNg and ruin the point you're making.)
We did that.
No other force is gonna UNdo it.
