Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Global warming increases the likelihood of the polar vortex destabilizing, which is what caused the last clusterfuck.

I was gonna say: "Yes, but also, no."

This is basically why we abandoned the abstract "global warming" for the abstract-er "climate change". Some places are just going to see amplified extremes throughout the year rather than fewer seasons.
