Yes, every year will continue to be the new hottest year.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 40 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Probably not, there are some short cycles like El Niño that will see some temporary heating and cooling. But the trend will always be upwards.

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

I mean, the ocean temperature is unnaturally high, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. Maybe we'll get a few months that won't break records, but I wouldn't bet on it.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

The predictions take that into account, no?

[–] Tygr@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Until we reach peak and head into another ice age. We’ll have tens of thousands of years in cooler temps though.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 87 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Alternatively, the coldest year for the rest of your life

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

No, we just left El Niño so there is s reasonable chance next year, maybe two years, are a little less warm. It gives the critics the chance to shout at the top of their lungs because we didn't break every record that year, warming is a hoax. To get walloped with a monster of a heatwave in three years of course.

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Also the coldest for the next decades.

Man it’s so great how every year for like most of a decade this happens and we still have reams of dipshits all like “iT’s nOT SeTtLEd sCieNCe”

So great

Well, I'm not heating up the dirt myself. So they don't have to prove anything to me.... They gotta just deal with the temperature death limit. The critical "wet-bulb temperature" limit is generally considered to be 35°C (95°F) with 100% humidity. At 40C humans struggle and a little more and you'll not have to worry about them anymore 😉.

In the long run, nature heals itself 🌳

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Perfect bad example... Dinosaurs. There are no more dinosaurs 🦕😔.

10,000 years later..

People. There are no more people. And the planet seems fine.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Dinos just had bad luck. We did this to ourselves.

[–] cdf12345@lemm.ee 47 points 4 months ago

Hottest year….so far!

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months ago
[–] Squiddly@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

Happens every year.

[–] Wardacus16@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Other places must've been hot as hell as in the UK we actually had a slightly cooler June than normal compared to the average. The world climate is well and truly fucked then.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Western Europe is under the influence of La Niña making it cold. We're sitting here wondering where the summer went as crops refuse to grow properly because too cold and too wet while in other places people drop dead because of the heat.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah my little part of the US has been below average the last couple of years too. It was hot this summer for one week.

[–] Corigan@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's the coldest year for the rest of your life!

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 9 points 4 months ago

Humanity extinction Speedrun any%. LET'S GOOOO!!!

[–] toothpaste_sandwich@feddit.nl 2 points 4 months ago

Interesting choice to wear a black shirt for it, too.

[–] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago

iPhone every year or a livable planet. We can't have both

[–] Potatisen@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago
