#ClimateDiary “Above is a fictional weather forecast for August 18, 2050, broadcast by French television in 2014, intended to warn against the disastrous consequences of global warming.

Below is the weather forecast for June 22, 2026.”

(By @jakubwiech on unmentionable)

This brings out super starkly how #ClimateChange has accelerated so much more quickly than we thought even just 12 years ago.

@andycarolan @pvonhellermannn @jakubwiech But climate change isn't real... 🙄

It's shocking because we're getting ths weather in places where habitation just is not built for it.

Only many governments are doing absolutely nothing about it.

@retrosponge @andycarolan @pvonhellermannn Too many political systems have mechanisms that essentially amount to legal bribery. It puts the politicians in the pockets of the groups with the most profits which, lo and behold, tend to be the ones that do the most harm (morals don't drive quarterly profit margins!)

@nazokiyoubinbou It feels ridiculous that the 1% can have this much influence on the 99%... if only we could do something about it @retrosponge @pvonhellermannn
