LAS VEGAS (AP) — Used to shrugging off the heat, Las Vegas residents are now eyeing the thermometer as the desert city is on track Wednesday to set a record for the most consecutive days over 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46.1 Celsius) amid a lingering hot spell that will continue scorching much of the U.S. into the weekend.

On Tuesday, Las Vegas flirted again with the all-time temperature record of 120 F (48.8 C) reached on Sunday, but settled for a new daily mark of 119 F (48.3 C) that smashed the old one of 116 F (46.6 C) set for the date in 2021. Forecasters say the city will likely hit a record fifth straight day above 115 F (46.1 C) on Wednesday.

Hey, corporate news - why don’t you treat this like it’s some kind of outlier that will surely ‘go back to normal’ to tomorrow, and not the first stages of the entire planet-wide ecosystem breakdown because we let corporate news not hold big oil accountable?

It’ll all be fine, we just have to ignore it, right?

Aren't we in the 15th straight month of record global temperatures?

Fake schock is a propaganda tactic

The AP article mentions 12 months above 1.5c and that this is global warming.

Pessimist: this is the hottest summer in 50 years
Optimist: this is the coldest summer in the next 50 years

[June] marked the 12th straight month that the world was 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than pre-industrial times, the European climate service Copernicus said. Most of this heat, trapped by human-caused climate change, is from long-term warming from greenhouse gases emitted by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, scientists say.

Gaia to humans: "Quit fucking around, or I will kill you all."

Big oil is doing this to us though, you do understand that

[–] Nobody@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

True, but nature doesn't have a mechanism to punish oil company executives only.

Harder to get a hold of those assholes while they're not in home soil. They'll flee to [random tax heaven] on their private jets or yachts before we can even properly mobilize, all while drinking champagne.

Last I heard they were going on about debates and being too old

Ah yes. that hard-hitting, timely reporting we've come to rely on.

News outlets have been like: "BREAKING NEWS: Biden is REALLY OLD"

No fucking shit. Is the next story going to be "water is wet" or "the sky is blue"?

[–] Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

It'll resolve itself dw
