Apparently the temperature rises by 0.07 Celsius every year, so that means Earth has risen by over a degree since this site was made

Wow that’s quite some tragic stuff
Here in England it’s kinda the opposite. The highest we’ve reached this summer was 31 in June. This month it’s only reaching around 22/23 in August but last year it reached 38 where I lived (these are all Celsius btw)
I wouldn't mind that kind of weather. Lately down here the weather's so hot it's almost common to get excessive heat warnings(of which there's one right now). Most of next week in Houston the highs are in the 100s Fahrenheit.

Everyone likes making jokes about Brits dying in 25+ weather. It’s quite true (my friends can’t cope in 15!) but I’m really enjoying my cool summer as it really wasn’t expected!

People always say it won’t really matter because it’s only half a degree, but they not thinking how much effect half a degree can have on the eco-system.
Also, did you make that graph?

Well, I'm not one of those people, hence the scare-quotes around the word "only"

Well, considering that the person who made the graph was born in 1984, while the age on my profile is 27…

>0.4ºC in 20 years is a lot and humans have clearly contributed to it. However, I believe that any action taken by common people like us is going to be insignificant against the action that should be taken against those who are really causing the greatest environmental impact (large corporations, private jets, luxury yachts...). Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Also, about what Dave said (remembering to edit

) some of us are also contributing to that by getting their product AND they’ll probably (hopefully

) go out of business when electric gets dominant

That’s what you get for being disrespectful and double posting all the time despite being told not to.

I've been laughing my ass off when I was looking for the cake photo before. I didn't remember about the
activated Santa Muerte I saw in Zaragoza. I don't know if I should publish the photo here but that was probably one of the most random stuff I've seen there
