Mordor In The Middle is my most anticipated new Frankie Muniz project.
I didn't know Spain is Middle Earth!!!
This Summer for sure
Well hung & dessicated.
explosive diarrhoea? or hung like a horse ?
The ballsack just expanded to evaporate more.
Wasn't Mordor to the south?
Maybe I'm using the wrong compass..

You know what would help this situation?
AI
Lots and lots of AI.
Also more religion.
Also let's concentrate most of the world's wealth into the hands of a handful of creepy psychopaths. That would probably solve everything.
You know what would help this situation? AI
Damn snowflakes. In our days we would have fixed that with a photoshop.
Unironically yes. AI would help us to change the climate
How?
When 10k more data centers are built, the climate will be way beyond the tipping point
So, helping for the worse?
I haven't said helping people, I said helping in changing the climate, or helping increasing shareholders' value or whatever
Make it hotter, duh
Oh, thank the merciful lord and saviour.
I was a bit worried that we were actually going to have to do something meaningful there for a second, phew!!
Anyway check out my new truck "the gas guzzler 4000"
Don't worry, it's super environmentally friendly since it's a hybrid and can drive for two miles on electric power!
AI will totally develop to a point it comes up with a miracle solution that needs no change in lifestyle or social system. /s
Conservative politics: apocalypse any% speedrun
You’re not wrong, that’s literally their goal.
Scorchio!
Data centers are fast tracking climate change
Don't blame everything on the data centers. Everything else is doing its part in contributing to climate change.
Apart from that data centers, at the scale at which we seem them pop up now, are way too young to have a considerable effect on the current heat wave. Which doesn't mean that they won't in the future. Climate change is, after all, a decades long project
Absolutely. It's not something new nor caused by something new.
But trump has cut a lot of green laws for data centers. And power plants.
And the sheer amount of additional heat and power consumption these data centers that are running, are using is insane. Akin to adding another few states worth of power and pollution in a span of a few years.
Of course that much additional heat and green house gasses makes a difference. I mean, my understanding is we are probably already past the point of fixing it.
The best we can do is completely stop green house gasses now and hope the extreme consequences only last a few hundred years.
But trump and these data centers are currently undoing all of the progress that has been made (here in the U.S anyway).
Not that much progress was made. But there were corporate interest efforts.
I mean let's be real. The epa regulations were still absurd before Trump cut them, and they never fine anyone even though it sure seems like literally every company has been lying about meeting those restrictions.
Its a millennia long project.
This is another reason why geoengineering is such a bad idea. Even if you stumble onto something that works without killing everyone, you have to consistently do it for many centuries.
Well, it's enough to work on the project for decades, the effects will be felt for millenia though.
This is also how I see the movie Idiocracy vs Reality. Reality is plain worse

Helps that Europe is warming faster than the global average. Karma, I guess.
Yet those most affected by heatwaves are elderly and chronically ill people who can‘t afford proper cooling technology.
It‘s not hurting those in power, it‘s hurting those already marginalised.
Karma for what?
Europe (alongside the USA and other countries of the "western world") has been releasing disgusting amounts of climate change-inducing gases since the 18th century, and they (alongside the USA) were the main profiteers of climate pollution until the latter half of the 20th century. Arguably still are, though other countries like China and Brazil also play a part now.
Granted, this treats nations as monoliths, it's not like the population of most countries really had a choice for the most part.
Anything is possible when you allocate the impact of commodities to the place where they were produced instead of the place where they were used 🤩
(This is the most common approach allocation, that doesn't make it correct)
(Also this chart is gross not per capita so the fact that the US shows more emissions, even without the offshoring scam, until around 2000, is just w i l d)
The fact that Aviation and Maritime transports are visible, alongside large countries and continents emissions, is absolutely nuts.

That bottom image is, like, the most aggressively chic weather forecast I've ever seen.
le weather
"I feel better!"
"Shutup, you're dead."
cat in background, being swung, yowling
"Actually, might go for a walk."
