Crazy temperatures lined up all week too. I'm torn between loving the sunshine and warmth, and feeling a little concerned about the increasingly clear impacts of global warming tbh.

Most of the stuff I have read recently suggests that things are worse than the worst case predictions and accelerating alarmingly. Covid and Ukraine have taken many people thoughts away from the infinitely bigger issue of climate change, and it's beginning to appear that the outcomes are going to be more drastic and sooner than expected.
At least there seems to be very little outright denial now, but there's still little sign of humanity making any sort of change of course really. A lot of greenwashing and bullsh!t from governments and corporations, which will have nowhere to go when the global economy collapses anyway.
Whether we realistically ever had a chance to save our children and our planet or not is debatable, but it seems that chance is very small now. But while there's a chance, we should all do everything we can. |  |

Today in isolation just feels like a pretty normal spring day. |  |

On a day like this the only course of action is to get the mankini out and to be careful around the barbecue. |  | | |

Notwithstanding that it's exceedingly hard to link individual weather events to climate, there certainly seems to be a pattern.
Crazy stuff going on in Antarctica and the Arctic at the moment too, with temperatures 30-50 C hotter than average and Antarctica especially smashing records (on top of a record sea ice season). Both poles hitting record warm spells simultaneously is freaking scientists out.

this is one of the best representations I've seen of temperature change |  |

Yeah, obviously weather does not equal climate change on individual events, it was more an observation on the overall trends even if I didn't really say that. | |

We definitely did have the opportunity to do something about it but the economists got in the way as Ben Franta pointed out in his paper last year.

Whether it is possible to control a system with exponential behaviour (growth/decay) with a satisfactory steady-state solution I think is very improbable so your conclusion of collapse is probably the most likely.
Friday for Futures this week, like you say, we have to keep going and trying to salvage something for future generations. |  | | |
