    me happy about the cold winter, happy earth can cool down for a moment

    Am I missing something here or is OP not aware that winter isn’t everywhere at the same time, and that tropical regions don’t follow these “classical” (for lack of a better term) seasons at all?

    Obviously climate change is bad and all that, but the upper caption makes no sense.

    I live near the arctic circle… it’s usually -25°C by now… it’s +8° today.

    We’re so fucked 🙃

      And nobody listens. I make point after point about everything and it gets down voted…even here on Lemmy. Yup. So fucked in the entirely opposite meaning of that word. Zero productivity here. Ever again. And we’re talking years, not decades.

        Unless you are advocating striking fear into the hearts of large corporations with violence, what you’re advocating won’t make a meaningful difference.

          We need some “fight club” level of organization and planning, but on a global scale

    Is this Celsius or Fahrenheit? In Brazil it’s late spring now, since it is on the southern hemisphere.

    The comments under this post are a great indicator of how much U.S. defaultism has ruined online conversations. Fucking Fahrenheit weirdos.

      The heat index — a combination of temperature and humidity — hit 58.5 degrees Celsius (137 Fahrenheit) Tuesday morning in Rio, the highest index ever recorded there. Actual temperatures dropped slightly on Wednesday, but were forecast to rise again to 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) on Thursday.

      Yeah, that’s Celsius.

    Brazil is so tall it has like 6 different climatic regions. 5 of them are currently a burning oven and the other one is drowning in constant rainstorms and cyclones.

    I was a bit confused before checking the comments and thought that the meme is saying that 60° F is considered too cold for Brazil. I didn’t even consider 60° C as a possibility.

        Due to humidity, it’s technically not 60 C but feels that way.

        Silver lining, a Taylor Swift fan died from it. We can expect some kind of response from the hive.

    I blame Ryan Gosling.

    Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.

      Late spring in São Paulo is supposed to feel comfortable, at most 30°C and mild rains. We’re experiencing summer temperatures of 38°C+ and torrential storms. We’re fucked.

      Those seasons make little sense here, to be fair. In the midwest, winter is hot and dry, summer is hot and rainy. Autumn and Spring are just inbetweens.

    units would help here, it’s unclear if 60 is way too hot or slightly cold

    Cold winter? We used to get blizzards in October here, now we barely get any snow at all throughout the entirety of winter, and it’s frequently warm enough to be comfortable outside in nothing but a shirt and shorts.

    I swear every single year people forget how actually mild winter has become. It got down to -50F here once years ago thanks to the polar vortex and ever since most everyone starts on how “it’s gonna be a really cold winter this year” everytime it drops to the fucking 40-50F range. When you point out they said the same thing last year and it was even milder than when they said it 2 years ago, they often just double down being willfully ignorant and insist last winter was “soooo bad” despite it being warmer on average than Fall was 15 years ago.

          OP is probably in the northern hemisphere with a colder temp than expected, but then heard Brazil is having an unusually hot day,mean8ng we didn’t buck the trend of average global temp

    I don’t know what you mean. This is a global temperature map and it’s a stretch to say the temperature is above 40C which is 104 degrees There are small sections that 68 degrees Fahrenheit, but it’s not out the ordinary where it happens

      The meme specified “perceived temperature”, which I would assume to mean some combination of the temperature metric with a heat index, humidex, wind data, solar radiation estimates, or something like that

      Temperature + humidity = perceived temperature aka “feels like”. It feels like 58°c in Brazil like a few days ago.
