        We get record heatwaves till the ocean currents change and we lose the warm water coming in. Then we’ll get snow in July and complain about -40 in the winters instead of +40 in the summers.

        Climate change sucks, but 34c is hardly anything to get excited about. People in the US frequently live in temps like that as the norm. Now regular 50c would be concerning.

          We don’t care about regular US temperature. Climate change is all about constant change, that brings damage to people, cities and agirculyures that developed 5°C colder. Every year is the hottest summer ever, all of this is not normal and is pretty worrying.

              If your climate never got up to 29, it does. It’s the same as people and infrastructure freaking out in Texas because they had a couple of cold years. They got some weeks under -10°C and electricity got cut-off, water pipe burst and people died. Are people dying in Norway when you get to -10°C? Absolutely not.

                That sounds like that infrastructure was cost-cut shit outsourced to private profiteers.

                The reason Texas’s electricity collapsed is due to that exact reason. Their power grid is separate from the rest of the country.

          I don’t know where those numbers where pulled from, but that is for sure not the maximum temperature reached. Where you see that wonderful 27 in Italy the daily maximum temperature is already around 40 right now.
