It's too late to do anything about the extreme heat already here plus a bit more, but we can prevent it from getting MUCH WORSE!
Just make sure to wear gloves and a mask, park way the fuck off site, and leave your phone at home.
Don't worry, once the ocean currents collapse we'll get a nice cooling ice age in the higher latitudes!
Probably. Although there's actually at least a few climate models out there that suggest that things would just start heating up. Because the high temperatures would melt the ice caps.
Let's just try to enjoy the new Younger Dryas while we can, eh?
Exactly
If that current collapses you guys get another ice age, so it won't be so bad!
Population statistics says otherwise. It appears we cannot.
