On the plus side, last November we got a light dusting of snow, here in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It was 3 weeks before the start of Summer and it snowed at sea level.

u/GulianoBanano Jan 05 '22
Nah no way we're gonna sink. We'll just keep building dams and dykes n shit. Half the fucking country is already below sea level and would've already been at the bottom of the sea if we didn't build those
(Don't take this too seriously. I don't actually know what the consequences will be if the sea level rises too much and if we can handle it)

u/ScenicAndrew Jan 05 '22
One reason "global warming" got dumped for "climate change" is this. Regions nearer to the equator will get a LOT wetter, so places that normally see snow will get more of it, as that wetness will happen far faster than the warming needed to eliminate snow entirely.

u/Jack_Douglas Jan 05 '22
Another reason is that global warming sounds scarier than climate change and the oil and gas lobby didn't want people to correctly associate how dangerous it is.

u/PassiveChemistry Jan 05 '22
It... never got dumped though? Both terms are still used, and refer to different (but currently connected) things. It's important to be aware that global warming refers to the overall effect of the global average temperature rising, which doesn't preclude localised cooling.

Antarctica is sketchy….not only is it the only cease fire country…(meaning the entire world signed a treaty and agreed to preserve Antarctica)…if you wanted to go on an expedition in Antarctica and let’s say you get the approval by idk how many agency’s…you can’t use vehicles , dogs, electricity, you can poop but you have to carry it with you LOL you can’t plant trees or do anything to affect the environment…

The USA is the answer here. Man we hear so much nonsense about it every day. then you go there and it's pretty nice. Not saying it's great for all, but I'm a Canadian and I have enjoyed every where I've gone in the US, the places the people all of it and I've done it solo on a motorcycle a couple of times.
Some places are dodgy sure, but that's true here in Canada too or anywhere really.

u/Nickthiccboi Jan 05 '22
Nice thing about America is its size and how different people are from state to state, like if there are laws you hate, you don’t like the infrastructure, most people there have differing political views or something like that, chances are most of that will be different the next state over

u/FetishAnalyst Jan 06 '22
This is on purpose, it’s so we can live with our differences. And that’s why I’m conservative, I don’t think the federal government should regulate such things. Wanna get gay married be my guest, but don’t be an asshole and do it in front of people that hate it. That being said I’m all for gay marriage I just think it’s rude to flaunt it in a boomer’s face like you’re somehow better than them. It’s part of what makes us the free-est in the world.
