I hope that wiped the smirk off his face at least.

Ah pre-industrial temeratures, being the bench mark for comparison. These 3 words are usually missed out but make a huge difference in terms of interpretation and understanding.

Thank you.

@HuffPost

There are a lot of LGBTQ+ here on fedi, any chance of adding mastodon to your social link banner thingy on the huff post website.

I am not sure what to suggest but wish the community well, it seems people just need more varied spaces for people to hang out.

@codybrom

I can say exactly the same, the community here is fantastic, people not here are missing out.

That looks like the species from Talos IV in star trek TOS the Man Cage and The Minagerie.

Meme to one side, These aliens had the ability to manipulate the minds of humans so they see what the aliens wanted them to see (kinda like in Bliss ST:VOY) which is why Captain C Pike saw the female ensign as he expected when she was in fact deformed as they had no benchmark to put her back to gether properly (if you have seen the episodes you will understand what I mean)

IIRC they were behind a screen, they used their phasers to try and break through but didn't see it had worked, until later so they were manipulated in to thinking they were still behind a screen wall.

In a similar way, Trump seems to see the world as if he has done nothing wrong. His perception of rality is totally different from the rest of us.

It is not the fault of the taxi, perhaps the people who programmed it.

So in essence as long as the average daily temperature over a year does not exceed 1.5 degrees above average, we will have essentially met the criteria and goverments will say we have avoided a temp rise and everything is OK.

Only it isn't ok

We are expecting 30 degrees in parts of the UK today, amber health warnings, we can't keep trying to use that 1.5 rise as a benchmark over a sustained period. Without rain we are going to have serious issues with growing food / crops, even insects need water at some point.

30 degrees is not normal for June, so what can we expect in august 35 to 40 degrees, will countries like Spain hit 40+?

From what I understand about el-nino it will just make things warmer as we are heading towards that cycle peak of warming.
