We went from “yeah we should expect to see some warmer temperatures in the next 10-15 years” to “heat dome covers the planet in unrelenting 100+°F heat all year round” really dang fast.
@erynofwales global boiling came on kinda quick
@erynofwales @lemay I think “global warming” made it sound way too friendly and hides that it’s also increased chaos.
@erynofwales “covers the planet” - except for us poor schmucks in the UK where it’s been cold and rainy nonstop all summer 😩
@michael Same in San Francisco, bizarrely. I just read an article about 100+ºF temperatures in South America though, where it is currently winter.
