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.

What’s incredible is that, apparently, about 40% of America and at least some of the world will be convinced this is not happening at all.
As it’s happening.
We have cameras in freaking space, entire institutions dedicated to tracking this for years, basically the entire world networked, and people aren’t going to believe what’s happening right in front of them!
It's not seeing it for them. They think that because earth has ice ages that this is just a "cycle". They seriously believe that even though you can physically see global temps data since the 1800s and it SKYROCKETS in the 1920s and almkst triples year over. Like... It's fucking obvious this isn't a "natural cycle".
The worst argument these idiots spew is: "yeah.. it's climate change... The climate changes, it's not serious" like what!? The fuck!?
The worlds hope is on Asia and Europe's hand. Trump once again just wants to dig for oil and gas on US soil because he's too fucking retarded to read a book once.
There goes Florida
Promise?
Not that big of a loss honestly
I mean.. The US is getting neutered by trump anyway, might as well lose the dangly bits.
Honestly, might be the better future all things considered.
At. Least there's some good news
Waterworld becoming a prophecy.
been waiting my whole life to bag some smokers boys
I was thinking about watching waterworld on sunday
I mean, it would be funny in a fucked up way if Gaza just submerged now that Trump is displacing the Palestinians
When the ice is gone the ocean will boil, rip seafood.
... and the AMOC will break.
The researchers also mapped some of the consequences of AMOC collapse. Sea levels in the Atlantic would rise by a meter in some regions, inundating many coastal cities. The wet and dry seasons in the Amazon would flip, potentially pushing the already weakened rain forest past its own tipping point. Temperatures around the world would fluctuate far more erratically. The southern hemisphere would become warmer. Europe would cool dramatically and have less rainfall. While this might sound appealing compared with the current heating trend, the changes would hit 10 times faster than now, making adaptation almost impossible (emphasis added).
Hope NYC and Boston and DC and Florida are ready for a +3 foot sea level rise in like 5 to 10 years.
3 meters at this ever increasing rate of "sooner than expected" insurance pulled out for a reason , they study the risk data
Not cool
This is why Trump is so serious about taking Greenland.
Here's Paul Beckwith, the guy who coined the term 'blue ocean event', on this news.
Cool 👍
