A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

We've been breaking the 1.5 mark for some time now. We all have the Luigi mandate now.
Nice. That saves money on heating. Can use it for the ammo I'll need in the upcoming water wars.
Better get ready soon, looks like round 1 is about to happen with u.s. vs Canada once trump gets in.
This is why I don't have children.
This is why I only had one child.
I remember when it was still believed we could keep under 1.5°C if we could hit our targets. But we didn't meet those targets and here we are.
Fuck.
Back then (like, a few years ago, really), the idea was that the tipping point was far off.
When I was a kid (I’m mid 30s), we heard “if we don’t make changes over the next few decades, a couple hundred years into the future the world will start to become more hostile.”
A few short years later, it was “the coming generation will need to make changes or we will be leaving a world much less inhabitable for our children’s children.”
That very quickly turned into “this is happening right now.”
The talk of 1.5c warming was lifetimes off. And here we did it while the fuckin boomers are still clinging to power (in the US anyway).
Whereas now, the changes have already happened.
A decade ago, kinda - see e.g. wildfires in California every single quarter now (since 2014 iirc?), plus just about everywhere else as well like remember when Australia was on fire?
Okay so the 1.5 threshold wasn't reached a decade ago, but who even knows where the real tipping point is, or rather was.
But going along with your theme: it was supposed to be hundreds of years from now when the climate would change, and start to become more hostile. Whereas now, that "start" was a long way back, and some people born since then have already reached puberty.
We didn't even try.
The entire targets thing was a lie. Kinda a soft approach to 'we are fucked'
This just in 2025 is the hottest year on record. Oh and guess what 2026 is also the hottest year on record. Oh and what's this 2027 is the hottest year on record.
This reminds me of Office Space.
"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life"
Oddly enough, Office Space also ends with everything on fire!
But don’t worry, 2028 will only be the hottest year since 2023! (Followed of course by the hottest year on record in 2029 again).
Yep up till 2030 when there will be no one left to report on it. Would the year be the hottest year if there is no one left to report it? Does a tree make a sound if no one can hear it?
Obligatory hottest year so far comment
Our national news service had the balls to end their reporting on this news on a (techno)optimistic note, that everything will be fine if we just make a little effort. Scandelous and willful negligence.
With social media freeks, authoritarian cold war relics, adventure capitalists and usefull idiots (former athletes, musicians, beauty pageant winners, etc) running the show the planet is fucked.
We did it! We're number one (point five)
