    What happened in the 80s? Seems the temps were all sorta within a pretty standard deviation until then.

    Who left their heater running?

        That’s hilarious. I use the phrase “I blame Reagan” all the time. Sorta like how people used to blame everything on Obama as a joke?

        Reagan really fucked everything up for this country and planet for a loooong time didn’t he.

        Fucking Reagan.

          That’s why I feel for Trump. Dude just wants to be remembered. He knows he won’t be the greatest president. So he tries a different angle. He wants to be forever remembered as The Worst President In The History Of The US. Alas, there’s Reagan.

            Time will tell which one has longer lasting worse effects. There is definitely some recently bias with Trump but I feel like Reagan damage has been long and slow.

      That’s when dad’s started yelling a little bit less at kids leaving the doors open in the winter. It’s really gotten out of control since then. Between this and light switches being left on with a thorough shouting, modern Dads are pretty much to blame and not spanking children probably has something to do with it too.

    See, I used to remember being able to go outside and play during the summer when I was a kid. Now days it seems like of you dare go outside in the summer you’ll be a puddle of sweat within 30mins.

    I don’t want to watch this

    Not anymore

    I’ve carefully watched this for decades

    I’ve urged everyone to take action

    I’ve carefully separated my garbage

    For decades

    And nobody cared, nobody cares

    Then comes in trump who just waltzes over everything and aims course straight for hell

    Let the world burn, I don’t want to one about it anymore, I’m done, I’m burned out, nobody who can make a difference gives a shit.

    Unless tomorrow all the rich and powerful in the entire world disappear, nothing will change, so I’m just going to sit here, enjoy the sunset while we still have fresh water and food and I fully expect most or all of humanity to be gone within 50 years

      Why not go out doing something exciting at least?

      It’s easy to make statements like that before desperation sets in. Starving is an awful way to die, death after nuclear fallout is excruciating and slow, you won’t enjoy any sunsets when the smoke from burning cities fills up the sky.

      50 years from now when you’re freezing in a cold muddy ditch, you’ll be wishing you died a martyr taking the 1/1e10000 chance to fix it.

      Edit: I’m legally required to clarify that martyrdom can result from non-violent acts 🙂

      You mean until NASA gets shut down by a man with a vested interest in the space sector?
