      Mate, do you understand what a global average is?

      Imagine if someone said, the average age of people on Lemmy is 22 and you were like huh I’m 12. Yeah, it’s an average, it has a range

        I’m failing to see your point in reference to what I originally commented. last year to the day it was a new record of 40.3°, today it was 19° I was pointing out the stark difference in comparison to what Europe is currently experiencing and to what we experienced last year.

        Yeah and this time last year it was a furnace. I honestly feel sorry for mainland europe inhabitants, I was dreading this summer, my pets nearly died last year.

      I keep seeing people say UK is going to get an August heatwave lasting long into September, if the planets going to lose the ability to host life due to our own greed and opulence we might as well enjoy the fleeting trip through the window of enjoyable weather…
