Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In Germany it’s colder and wetter than usual while in southern Europe they’re boiling. Crazy weather.

I'm not too mad about the colder weather. It's been too dry the last few months anyways.

The weather will be more like a monkeys paw....u wish for a bit more rain....here is some floods instead..

Yeah, I know. But currently I got the sweet end of the lolly.

[–] soEZ 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well the big shaft of the lolly might be just around the corner, enjoy it while it lasts, I'm sure it will enjoy you when the time comes....depressing...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, but what else can I do? Recycle more? I'm almost vegan already, but that won't help much. So I'm enjoying the rain while it falls.

Oh I don't mean to imply you can do or have to do anything.. Haha. Sorry if it came off that way. Just making depressing comments...

The more that climate change continues we will see more and more extremes of weather. So cold places might get colder and hot places hotter, as well as more extreme/frequent storms. It's not a super great time for the environment

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, same here in NL, rainy summer so far

[–] pfannkuchen 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah the problem I have is when ppl say climate change doesn’t exist because today is moderate, meanwhile they ignore the droughts and floods elsewhere. I’m happy for our farmers and our rivers but next year could be completely different.
