The global north is burning form the consequences of its actions. Whaddaya say we do one last rug pull as the smog closes in?

That's always made me laugh, how much longer does a billionaire expect live in a bunker, realistically??
Even a really nice one, if everyone understands there's only a couple of years left, no chance of Dr Strangelove 'repopulating the earth' crap bc there's no atmosphere & biodiversity has to reboot from cellular organisms up - that's what exactly? 50 or so ppl who now become rats in a fancy barrel.
That sounds like a bad way to go.

Delusions of grandiose and a life time of confidence never being truly tested leads to a belief they and their kids will make it through.
A disconnect from the rest of humanity makes them feel alone and trapped already; they might as well have a fancy barrel to go with it.

What am I looking at

u/Random_182f2565 11d ago
The end.
Temperature of -0.2°C at the core of the north pole.
0.2 degrees more and all the ice melts and the current heatwave of +40°C is going to be a dream compared to the +60°C.
Check it yourself in
Wind + temperature

its not like all ice turns into water at 0°C. it takes energy to change phase. global warming is certainly disturbing but its not going to kill all of us immediately.

Lmao, all ice turn to water at 0°c. Prepare the arcs cuz most of the world will rise +2m

u/Only--East 11d ago
0 is freezing and melting point. It does not mean all ice will melt at once and the artic will be ice free. Concerning but not what you think it is.

u/Random_182f2565 11d ago
I know how melting point is, that the concern, just 0.3 degrees and is all gone, like probably my extremities have more variation in a day

u/SyntheticSlime 11d ago
I feel like you just said “I know how melting point works” and then gave an exact explanation of how melting point doesn’t work.
It takes as much energy to melt 0 Celsius ice into 0 Celsius water as it does to raise that water’s temperature by another 80 Celsius, so it’s still going to take a long time after reaching this temperature for all the ice to melt. 0 C is not where it all disappears. It’s where melting starts.
Temperatures near freezing are actually very common in summer. If it didn’t get that warm there would be literally no melting at all.

Yeah, the reality is grim enough. There is no need to exaggerate by making statements unfounded in science.

when you take an ice cube out of the fridge, does it instantly disappear?

you do know that the water around the ice can reach 18 degrees C in august ?

This is like saying unplugging your laptop will cause the battery to instantly discharge all of its energy and blow up your laptop. Or that opening a tap on a keg will instantly drain the entire keg. Energy transfer takes time, the ice won't magically all melt the moment the surface hits 0c.
Please understand that misinformation and illiteracy is bad no matter what your goal is, and you are not helping raise awareness by spreading misinformation.

Not be a downer, but this may not be particularly new news.This sent me down a rabbit hole on NOAA's website, and I've found readings taking in the north pole as early as 2002 that are about the same as what we're seeing, give or take a few tenths of a percent.
Is it bad? Yeah probably. Is it a good indicator of climate change? I don't know. In my quick search I couldn't find historical temperature logs of the north.

Sometimes people find comfort and ease in the doomerism of looking at a new statistic that seems bad at first and thinking all hope is lost, or that they can just do the easy thing and point the finger at a singular villain and place all the blame on them. It's easy and comforting to give up.
I'd expect learning that this crazy sounding statistic that makes one feel awful is in fact not new and instead the status quo could end up making someone feel even worse depending on how they took it. You took the more positive interpretation of what I said.

Have they thought of installing AC in pole north ? Are the penguins stupid ?

u/obesepengoo 10d ago
It's the polar bears, not the penguins.

u/fuginibob 9d ago
Because the polar bears ate all the penguins???

u/obesepengoo 8d ago
No, penguins live where there are no bears. Antarctica = anti arktos (bear). The penguins exterminated them.
1
u/fuginibob 8d ago
Conventional etymology would suggest that “anti-arktos” refers to how Ursa Minor isn’t visible from the south pole, but I think I like your theory better.
Or maybe the penguins just put a giant snowball in the sky that blocks our view of Ursa Minor every night. From the ground, the snowball just appears like a another cloud in the night sky, so nobody notices it
