#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.

@Tooden
Or 24 years?

I hope 2050 is not 14 years away 😅

@folfdk You are correct. My maths failed me. 24 years. In 10 years time, we will have become underground dwellers. @pvonhellermannn

@Tooden
Don't worry, I'm still trying to convince myself that the end of second world war is 80 years ago and not 50 (what is roughly what it was when I went to elementary school).

So, not so much your math skills as the unfathomable world we live in?
