The past week was the hottest ever recorded on Earth

The record for the hottest average global air temperature was broken three times this week, making the past seven days the hottest since instrumental records began in the 1850s

@ketumbra @Thorn you're right! Maybe the meme is...poetic licence?

@Thorn @MarkHoltom we can’t know if it is true or not. There are no ways of measuring short-term temperatures in the past.

But if you said «The last 7 days have likely been hotter than the average temperature over the past 100,000 years, when comparing on the scale of 10,000 year intervals», it would probably be true

@Huubje @MarkHoltom not necessarily. Siestas, dehumidifiers for wet bulb conditions, nocturnal cooking and heating patterns, and shorter working weeks would all help.
Plus, idk... ban most marketing, all fossil fuel industries and derivatives, fossil fuel lobbying, petrochemical influence by any other name, and similar improvements that would have helped any time in the last century, too.

Also therapy! UBI, UBS, and conflict resolution as intentional community planning.

@MxVerda @Huubje @MarkHoltom Siestas, dehumidifiers, nocturnal cooking are not going to help our crops and wildlife

Most plants evolved to survive in a fairly narrow band of temperature ranges. When we get a week of summer conditions in February, all the plants wake up and then have their buds killed off the week after when it freezes again. No flowers = no fruit for that year. Also, the rate of warming is massively outpacing evolution.

All the others things though, we should do those
