Ugh! That’s one reason why I left the south years ago. Too many storms and too darn hot! 🥵

[@leviatticus3801]

Once I get a vehicle I'm leaving.

[@ironeddie9917]

This weather is not by chance this is not mother nature. Anybody that hadn’t figured it out yet.. needs some serious psychological help.

[@barberman2737]

There's no such thing as mother nature. God is in control.

[@mastrtonberry2]

Weather isn't climate. You'd think that the intellectual superheros on the left would be educated enough not to conflate the two. Read an actual scientific paper on climate change sometime. You may learn a thing or two. Same goes for all those armchair tornado theorists. Don't cherry pick data from specific events. That's not how any of this works and any climate scientist that doesn't do mainstream media interviews will tell you that.

[@jasonborne5724]

What was it in the 1930’s? The hottest decade on record…..

[@nicc6030]

I think you need the help. You drank the Kool-Aid they told you to drink. 🐑🐑

[@user-vu9dg3lq2i]

You seem to be the one who needs help

[@enriquemireles8947]

Here in Texas we call it pre summer.

[@electricman523]

If you live in the Dallas/Fort worth area, watch the weather report and notice how many record highs were in 1911, and others 100+ years ago. Was in climate change 100 years ago, or just a hot summer, due to solar flares, underwater volcanic activity, etc?

[@kirkwilson5905]

Pretty well accepted that we are coming out of a glacial cold period lasting IIRC 12k years. So yeah, temp rise would be expected. Times in the past have been far warmer than current day, so not really record breaking at all....

[@AmericanPendetta]

Wow summer temperatures in June 🤯

Remember: It's always been cool during summer, and 2+2=5.

[@barberman2737]

It's not record breaking. It's always hot in the summer. And here's the thing, genius... What would you do if it wasn't? Pay more taxes? Stooge.

[@outlawsofvoodoo1331]

⁠@@barberman2737 We built a dam so large that it slowed the earths rotation. We’ve been pumping pollutants in the air for the past 100 years. You can go to a lot of cities and just see the smog hovering above them. The past 11 months have set word high records consecutively. It’s unprecedented. We have seen some of the most unusual wild fires, droughts, and hurricane seasons. The leading world scientist agree it’s expected to get worse over the next five years and is the most imminent threat to human survival on this planet. Individually you can’t do anything about it. It’s so terrifying actually that we can choose not to believe it, not accept the problem, and everything will be all right. Just like when half the world forgot how germs work during the pandemic.

[@I_beat_up_cuckolds]

​@@outlawsofvoodoo1331you are preaching to morons. The entire world is burning with record breaking heatwaves, erratic weather patterns and yet most people dismiss it as conspiracy

Well, I can tell you honey, today is June 10th, 10:50 am in Co.Springs and not even 60 degrees. So, bring the heat.

[@ShootingtheSoil]

Have you sequestered any carbon into the soil this year....? "It'd be a lot cooler if you did!"

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

Carbon sequestration technology will take many years to ramp to provide any significant reduction in CO2. And yes, I know you are being sarcastic.

[@ShootingtheSoil]

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Well it is not for lack of technology, we just need the participation and education. Won't let me link the study from Ohio State... so have to google Dr. Rattan Lal, Ohio State. Would only take 2% increase in soil carbon on our arable land to sequester it all in just a year.

[@ShootingtheSoil]

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Sure about that? 😆The tech is novel, the science to show how significant it can be is pretty recent.

[@Nomad58]

Phoenix gets this heat every year

[@Havenwyck_Media]

Here in MI the temps are far below normal. It's summer though, what do you expect?

[@andrewd7112]

It's early June, not August. Normalizing the abnormal can be a useful psychological trick to help a person cope when they lack the mental fortitude to deal with reality. But sooner or later one must acknowledge the climate is changing and our actions are the cause.

I remember in Georgia in like 2015 ish there was a summer with like alot of days at or around 100 degrees for a hot minute. So this is at least a lie here. I also remember seeing a map of maybe Germany years ago with said temp and the map being green and now it's that same temp but the map is red and orange. Lol pushing climate propaganda is wild.
