Are we all fucked?

Similar thing happening here in the last few years. Temps in the summer peaking around 40, whereas in the past it was closer to 30. We had a heatwave of a full week of 40 where it didn't even get below 20 overnight (beneath that temp is what the body needs to fully recover overnight). It was the longest week of my life. I was coming into work early all week because there's AC there, and while at home I could barely move from the couch the entire week. Suffocating.

Yeah, day three with no drop below 20° now: next one scheduled for Thursday around midnight when a storm will hopefully break it. Windows open all night and into the early morning, but by half eight you need all the shutters down until beginning of dusk to keep a manageable temperature.

Where is it you are again?

Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. So these days it's 5 months of winter, several weeks of unbearable heatwave plus hot summers in general, plus usually a month or two of all encompassing wildfire smoke.

Having to close the blinds for most of the day is depressing as fuck, I do that too.

Ah ok. We had friends over this weekend who live in Canada now, Montréal, and when they were showing me on the map where they have a chalet they rent out I was reminded how absolutely huge the country is. You're probably almost as far from Montréal as we are

I use public toilets and I piss on the seat

And I go around in summer, saying "how about this heat"

The Veritasium youtube channel has a couple of interesting recent vids out, one on Monsanto, and this one about PFAS. Both underscore the need for reinforced, rather than deregulated, environmental protection agencies.

Estimated 50-100k globally already have these chips embedded in their skin. Some recent studies suggest 51% of people would consider it...which seems incredibly high. Can't use an MRI if you have one

Tristan Harris is a top man, listened to an interview with him 10 years ago which was a total eye-opener. This is well worth 18 minutes of your time

Lucky bastards, it's rooted everywhere else.  It was that hot today the cheese on the cheese board was melting into goo (still delicious..)
