Re #heatwave: I wonder what people think will happen now? "'If it’s like this now, what’s it going to be like in 10, 20 or 30 years?' The answer, of course, is hotter & hotter and hotter." #climatecollapse is like that: it only gets worse, never better. That's why it's so hard for us to grasp. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2531853-if-you-arent-terrified-by-this-heatwave-you-should-be/

@muellertadzio@climatejustice.social It is absolutely not hard to grasp. It's been grasped in the 60s and 70s at the very latest. Everybody knows. I'm going on 50 and was told, fairly accurately, what would happen - almost 40 years ago in school. If anything it's a miracle of how good the human brain is at being really, really suicidally in denial.

@muellertadzio@climatejustice.social my kids already speculated they may need to live subterranean most of the time to bear the heat when they are grown. Interestingly, I haven't seen this idea being picked up by architects and realized buildings yet, because I think they are spot on and they for sure aren't the only ones.
