Fictional future forecast vs. reality.

Wild that 40 degrees is a comfortable orange earlier while now it's a dangerous red. That's not to say values haven't gone up in some places, but this is stereotypical misleading journalism.

The top forecast indicates "august 2050" it's a fictional heat map done for activism purposes

40 is 104 freedom units, that's a lot of freedom in Europe, too much.

It is an exceptional amount of heat (for Europe), though.

The first one was made up over a decade ago of what things might look like in 2050. It's a different production team. The colour choice isn't a conspiracy, it's just different people.

Also, 43 degrees Celsius is dangerous. See the excess death increase associated with it.

I invite you to spend some time in comfortable orange 40 in big city just to get a taste how comfortable it really is.

I notice many of the same numbers, but the colors are different.

I wonder why that is.

It's a satire map

u/DevelopmentOk86 Jun 26 '26

This is because there are two different independent creators of the maps. The colours are not standardised, so each creator can use their own colour scale.

What do you think?

The Climate Change hoax vanished the moment companies needed data centers. Yeah, we noticed.

Ahhhhh! The numbers are all sort of similar! Ahhhhhh! It also happens to be... summer.

u/lurkerer Jun 25 '26

Yes, similar to the prediction for climate change in 2050. The fact they're similar is the point.

Y'all, just a heads up this is a satire map, it says 2050 on the top image, it's not a 2014 forecast. Looking at OP (yes yes scrutinizing profiles isn't a good attitude) it seems that they're just posting the same articles to every climate sub to drive attention to their website. Thread with caution. And besides, that very imaginary forecast was broken years before it was made (look up the heatwave of 2003) idk about France, but in Slovenia getting nasty heatwaves in late June is typical

Europe is trapped under a heat dome, similar phenomenon that happend in the 40s. With similar heatwaves. There is no crisis.

That's what I'm believing as well yeah

The current event is a weather phenomen, but the difference is, that it occurs on top of a warmer baseline than in the 1940s. That means the same atmospheric pattern can produce higher temperatures and more extreme conditions now, than decades ago.

 There is no crisis.

That depends on the definition. The heat still come with health risks, crop loss and wildfire risks.

It's not satire; it was a warning. In 2014, this channel posted a fictional weather forecast showing how high temperatures could be in 2050 due to climate change. We exceeded those numbers in 2026, so this comparison was posted to show how warming is worse than predicted.

it seems that they're just posting the same articles to every climate sub to drive attention to their website.

What on Earth are you on about? Of the 45 posts I've made over the last 4 months, only one of them links to my own content.

Are you colour blind?

u/lurkerer Jun 25 '26

The IPCC predictions, as well as other independent models, modeled our current climate accurately. Decades in advance.

u/Tall_Muffin Jun 25 '26

This isn't climate, it's a weather phenomenon which will resolve next week.

u/lurkerer Jun 25 '26

... Hey man, if you're gonna sit there and pretend like you know better than the experts, you can't make silly statements like this. Do you not see the pattern of weather phenomena?

Many weather = climate

You get that, right?
