i know just what youre talking about. when my gf still had her flat under the roof its days like this when you step through the door it takes about a minute to get naked and lie flat on the floor. and not for any good reasons, its the just for the extra degree cooler air when your face is merely inches from the floor... |

seen a lot of fire in france on the news |

I wasn't directly affected by the fires but I could smell some of the fumes from where I lived and for some reason there was a yellow tint outside. I think it was Saharan dust. At least the heatwave is over now |

glad youre all doing ok. havent heard from our fav italian and spanish folks yet, but they are as tough as they come its better in my area now too, we only got the best of two days of it and a decent shower after aswell. work is a breeze these days due to holidays, went out to shoot some hoops yesterday :) epic, yeah i tried to nail it straight away .-) |

converted to C for you euros. I'm not complaining though I have good ac |
||||||||
|

|

nooooooooo the celsius conversion did not save europe in shambles! anyway its like 40c here for the next two months straight, absolutely no breaks in sight. |
||||||||

thats a meltdown! its kind of exhausting when it gets above body temperature i fear europe going all ac, the energy usage would be monstrous and there still is better ways to keep it cool, like trees, keeping areas free to help ventilating the city, green roofs, green fascades like in covent gardens london etc.. the courtyards of our blocks which are usually gardens keep a couple of degrees cooler than the baked concrete obviously. i understand you live in a different region and climate zone though |

electric cars too. It's still gonna be gas and coal in the end, esp with places like Germany shutting down their nuclear plants etc. People have said we're past the tipping point on global warming. You can put in the most draconian, authoritarian restrictions possible but it's still probably too late, and developoing countries will continue to pump out their noxious fumes at a higher rate than ever before. Nothing you can do about human nature, and "constant growth" seems to be a driving force. Man I'd just like to run a small bait and tackle shop or saloon or something and have a low key life. I don't even fish. Constant growth seems like too much work. It's just inevitable that the costal cities will eventually flood, or make levees that will eventually break leading to flood. Things will never be the same at that point. Our penguin friends will nest on icebergs that detach and head directly for the sun. And the world will find a new equilibrium. Without humans here at all it would completely heal (been more co2 and other greenhouses gasses at other points in earth's history due to meteoric and volcanic activity, it just takes time on a scale humans are unaccustomed to). But in the meantime-- If you gots to cool down you gots to cool down. Being too hot for too long is literal hell, imo. |

(i said electric cars referring to a new strain on the electrical grid itself. That IS something that's coming. I have not researched whether the energy efficacy of electric cars offset the combustion engines just burning gas themselves. It's still gonna be gas and coal regardless tho, as far as the eye can see). |

yeah seems like we/they are doomed to some bigger extent. as we know the need to reforest for decades yet all we do is burn down and the beginnings of climate change accelerate deforestation on a massive scale it feels inevitable to lose large regions of the world and have trouble in most remaining. i saw a graphic explaining how forests carry over the raining cycles from coastal regions to inner continental areas. oh well. i am sad we still use so much coal and gas but, you can forget about the nuclear power plants though. they hardly make a difference as they are one of the costliest energy sources and they need decades of planning and building whereas you could build the same amount of sustainable energy within a decade. now we are shutting down the remaining 3 german reactors generating 11% of our energy. that sounds a lot for just 3 plants but it is estimated that if all of germany shut down its standby when idle, only by using a switchable power cord, it would save 10 billion Kilowatt per Hour, thats about what 1 coal or 1 of those remaining nuclear plants generates. i heard about this but i just checked all the numbers myself with numerous sites and wiki. we spend lots of gas and coal on our industry though making steel, glass and concrete for example. its hard to change that. but lets take a look at france for example as nuclear powered nation. france has 52 plants running and generated just 37% of their energy with it in 2019. thats 52 times the risk of a irreversible catastrophe. i dont want to gamble when the same energy could be built and produced here faster and safely. |

Did you really link to a video of Big Break Bloopers? Did you? |

Imagine buying that on VHS. Imagine... Imagine getting it for Christmas. |

Imagine having someone take it to the charity shop when you've died and them turning it down. Imagine. |
