A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

As I tell all the people all the time, the Nordics is going to be a real nice place to live, but will also become fairly xenophobic (I mean more so, like maybe even US levels) when the climate migrants come flooding in.
Now we count the bodies that we had to stack so we all could get the bag. People, cultures, civilizations, leveled due to greed and the ignored because of repression.
Ain't we a fine and dandy species?
That's until the Gulf stream collapses anyway, then it'll get really cold really quickly.
Trying to predict where won't be hell in the future is its own hell.
I am sure it is a heaven for some autist whose super duper into thermodynamics and modeling.
Long dark winters, no thanks.
Most of Europe already has long dark winters.
To give you some parallels, at a latitude of 45° N you have Montreal in Canada, which already has long dark winters. In Europe, 45° N grazes the northern Adriatic, which is part of the Mediterranean. Everything else is above that.
The Gulf Stream really does make a difference though. The average temps are a lot more bearable, even in the dark winters, as far north as the Nordic capitals.
Helsinki gets average 25h of real sun in january. Berlin 47 Amstersam 63 Lyon 74 Marseille 150
Differences in avg sunshine within europe are huge, and scandinavia is fucking dark in winter, 25h is really very different from 60-ish hours for how depressed one might get from lack of sunlight. Not for me.
But think of how much sunlight you are getting in the summer!
When the temperature changes that notion is going to be quaint and nostalgic.
They will still be long and dark, that's mainly planetary rotation, just not cold anymore unless the gulf stream stops when they'll be very cold.
Verily, since it's the gulf stream that brings in warm waters and hot air. If it doesn't break, it'll bring a lot of good weather.
Guess it is time to look at wine as an alternative investment.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
NAPLES, Italy (AP) — Europe is the fastest-warming continent and its temperatures are rising at roughly twice the global average, two top climate monitoring organizations reported Monday, warning of the consequences for human health, glacier melt and economic activity.
The U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization and the European Union’s climate agency, Copernicus, said in a joint report that the continent has the opportunity to develop targeted strategies to speed up the transition to renewable resources like wind, solar and hydroelectric power in response to the effects of climate change.
“Europe saw yet another year of increasing temperatures and intensifying climate extremes — including heat stress with record temperatures, wildfires, heat waves, glacier ice loss and lack of snowfall,” said Elisabeth Hamdouch, the deputy head of unit for Copernicus at the EU’s executive commission.
The report serves up a continental complement for WMO’s flagship state of the global climate report, which has been published annually for three decades, and this year came with a “red alert” warning that the world isn’t doing enough to fight the consequences of global warming.
The European report focuses this year on the impact of high temperatures on human health, noting that deaths related to heat have risen across the continent.
“Hundreds of thousands of people were affected by extreme climate events in 2023, which have been responsible for large losses at continental level, estimated to be at least in the tens of billions of euros,” said Copernicus director Carlo Buontempo.
