Just don’t look!Ah yes the Florida method.
That’s not scary.
This one is scary:
Who are you gonna believe?? Me, or every climatologist in the world??
These memes are supposed to be funny (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)
Better laugh than cry, I guess
Global warming means thing will be getting worse. Of course it might be nice and cool for a bit, but slowly, these will get more common and much worse. For context, average global temperatures during an ice age are around 4° C colder than 1961-1997 average, and we are quicly going to supass 1° above.
Anyone want to go halfsies on some property near the arctic circle?
I hear Greenland is quite balmy this time of the year
Seriously, at what point is the Antarctic going to be the most pleasant place on Earth to live?
I’ve seen the term misused a lot recently, so I’ll state that a wet-bulb is a part of a measurement instrument. Wet-bulb temperature is a measured quantity (along with dry-bulb temperature, pressure etc.) and an Extreme wet-bulb temperature event is what actually kills people.
Used for humidity measuring instruments primarily, like a psychrometer.
Basically using a wick or wet material and forcing air over the sensor will evaporate the water and lower the temperature reading. Compared to a dry thermometer you can work out humidity.
A very high wet bulb temperature would mean very high humidity, which is dangerous for people as sweating is less effective.
Correct for the most part. You can still have very high relative humidity with a low WBT if the dry-bulb temperature is equally low.
When the WBT gets above 35°C, it’s not only dangerous, but positively lethal when sustained for even the healthiest person as sweating (or any other form of evaporative cooling for that matter) can no longer keep the body at a suitable temperature.
WBT is also not to be confused with wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), which is an index for heat stress that also takes into account the effect of sunshine among other things. It’s much more situational and best suited to judge the heat stress of athletic outdoor activity in sunshine.
Do wet balls count as a measurement of how much hotter it is than the day before?
well idk about you but my balls were really wet over the weekend and not because i spent it with my girlfriend
My balls got really wet on the weekend with her too. That’s called squirting.
What we are discussing here is climate change, and how it affects us.
Just kidding, about the above. I used an umbrella. Didn’t get wet at all.
/S Will I get banned for this? I don’t even know the rules. Just trying to have a laugh.
I’m in this meme and I don’t like it :(
We got our first heat advisory of the year today. We spent the last 4th of July with a broken AC. This one was much more pleasant.
Well my central heating is on along with the fire, good times.
(╥﹏╥)
The good news is that you can replace meat with BEANS
Unexpected actual solution, if we all replaced meat with all types of beans.
Good luck to the firey’s this year
Man I really need to watch Simpsons…
Classic funny because it’s not funny… :(
Hottest day? It was 13C and pouring rain here yesterday.
Was it? I am under some polar rainstorm right now. 12c last night. I am sure catching up on some zzzzs the last few nights.
Local weather variance doesn’t mean climate isn’t changing.
But Senator Imhofe took a snowball into the Senate chambers, thus disproving global WARMING forever!! /s
We’re trying not to do the “/s” thingy.
Why? It’s useful for people who struggle to read the tone of replies, and let’s be honest, that’s happened all of us at some point.
What I want to see die is the ridiculous swapping of letters for symbols in words like r@pe or su!cide. This is not TikTok or Instagram, your Reddit/lemmy posts are not monetised. You do not need to censor trigger or swear words.
It’s messy and dumb. People should be able to figure it out through context. Even if they can’t… who cares. Makes zero difference if people don’t get it. This isn’t reddit. You’re not collecting karma. It’s irrelevant if you get down voted.
It takes a millisecond to add /s for context, and it’s helpful for a lot of people. It has nothing to do with karma or downvotes.
It’s messy and stupid.
That sounds like a great idea!

Are you in the UK? It’s 13C where I am at the moment but my partner and I went to watch the tennis last week and even with factor 50 on he suffered the worse sunburn I’ve ever seen irl. The extreme highs we’ve been experiencing over the last 5-10 years have made it difficult to remember that the average night time temperature in July in the UK is 11C. In June it’s 9C. It is much hotter than it should be.
