Warm water breeds stronger hurricanes quicker. This is pretty scary news for any Floridians who are already nervous about hurricane season.

Unfortunate time to lose some of their insurance providers.
They reelected Ron Desantis, fuck em
Didn't you hear you're not allowed to think such things, man. There are INNOCENTS that still live there and therefore we must coddle the whole state that collectively makes bad decisions. /s
I totally get the compassionate idea with that, but we kind of have to live and die as the collective. Seems we've chosen to die, some states faster than others. I'm glad I'm in a slower declining state.
I was born and raised in Florida. I left on my own as soon as I turned 18 and never looked back, that was 24 years ago. I still have people I care about in Florida, but it's a big country and you're free to move about as you please according to your priorities
Holy hell.
The news just keeps getting better.
What do you mean? There's a ton of liberal areas like Miami that nevertheless have to live with 104 degree, 80% humidity. I actively thought that staying outside for more than 30 minutes was a health risk. And even if they're conservative, I dread to think of how the elderly are handling this...
Pretty sure that comment was sarcasm.

- Citizen's Climate Lobby
- 8 Billion Trees
California specific, but it's a cool program so I'm including it:
That can't be good for the fish...
But 100 degrees is boiling! /s
I had hopes that I would not experience US defaultism on the fediverse, but alas.
Edit: to be clear, I did not expect a conversion to celcius, just F displayed as the unit.
You'd be surprised how many people can't read Celcius very well in the US. I'm one of those people and as an adult I'm still looking for a good way to leisurely learn it. My school was never even shown Celcius unless we took chemistry in high school and the teacher had more fun belittling people for not knowing chemistry than he did with actually teaching chemistry.
For a rough estimate, double the Celsius temp and add 32 to get Fahrenheit. Subtract 32 and divide by 2 to go from Fahrenheit to Celsius. If you want an accurate conversion multiply by 9/5 instead of 2.
I keep checking Windy expecting to see a storm spiraling up. I hope El Nino keeps the hurricanes away this year....or Florida is going to hurt.
Will someone please hire me so I can move out of this state, please
Don't threaten me with a good time!
Yikes- like a hot tub minus the chlorine.
So a bacteria incubator?
