Hahaha. "Let people gather together in cool places and remove their masks! For God's sake, it's hot and people could die!"
ideally, a rational sense of self-preservation kicks in ... absent the pain and fear you know would be coming if you took no precautions.
Finally! After 90 years of saying “muh global warming”, we finally get some!! /s
But seriously, watch what happens. The usual spoon heads will come out saying that we are “all doomed because it’s hotter than ever OMG climate change!!”
Uh…. It’s summer. It’s a thing.
If you compare it to the previous record for Vancouver ... which was 34°C in 2009. A jump of 7 degrees is more than just "it's summer".
and? it almost fucking snowed 2 weeks ago in Ontario.
also just checked the weather, it says high of 34, fucking fake propaganda shit
Fair enough. So it’s 7 degrees more, and in the okanagan it’s gonna be 46c on Tuesday.
So if it’s more than ‘just summer’ - what is it? And if it’s going to be warmer for whatever reason for the next few years… and? So? That’s always the question that must be asked: “So what? What’s so bad about a warmer earth?”
Some say “the ice caps may melt.”
Ok, again “so what?”
Life thrived on earth without ice caps and during the Cambrian explosion you couldn’t swing a stick without hitting something lush, green or animal. And it was way, way warmer all over than it is now.
So if this is warmer thing is here to stay, good… I’ve had enough of Winnipeg and Lethbridge winters.
It's not a question if the earth will thrive or not. The question is how we will thrive. Imagine the glaciers are gone in the Himalayas and hundreds of millions of Indians lose their source for freshwater. They won't stay in India.
Not worried about global warming ... now climate change. Been happening for millions of years. Not a damn thing any one can do about it regardless of the fear they spew. If its so easy to alter the climate why not test you theory on the moon or mars.
Because neither of these have what would be considered an atmosphere. The moon doesn't have one at all and the Mars atmosphere is almost non existent. It has about 1% of the density of the Earth's atmosphere.
You will be worried when hundreds of millions of Pajeets lose their freshwater source and start moving to Canada.
It is. The temperature record for Vancouver was 34°C before this heatwave.
It is unprecedented for BC. It's not like the temperature records in BC were broken by just a degree or two. On Vancouver Island the previous record was 29.5 degrees. Now they reached almost 40 degrees. There are dozens of other examples like this in BC.
