   With the European elections happening right now: Please think about the climate!

2. Makes me think about [this recently published paper.](https://ecfr.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/A-crisis-of-ones-own_The-politics-of-trauma-in-Europes-election-year-v2.pdf) All the elections in Europe this year, of course including the EU elections, will partly happen on the basis of five different crisis and how people vote does in part reflect which of the crisis that feels most important to them. But yeah, please let the climate crisis be your main, or at least one of your main, crisis.

3. 80s and 90s pls come back

4. I feel that man, I did literary nothing today cuz it’s too hot to move… And I live in Eastern Europe… Idk how people in South can live like this ;_; I’m just constantly sweating. And stupid cities reduce green areas, cut trees to build new housing areas… but don’t take in account, it will be impossible to live in those cities without trees, parks, shadows… It’s madness.

5. For me, this:

   looks like earth has some kind of self regulation mechanism. Independent from mankind too.

6. And still in Sweden, we keep having 12°C and rain. Send some warmth for us please because this is not normal. It should be around 15°C now

7. My brain is fried, I saw the pic and was like

   What stock is that?

8. Please, let June break this trend

9. Don’t worry, we have plastic lids attached to the bottles, we will be saved.

10. In the Netherlands, for a while now, it has been mostly below average with most certainly above average amounts of rain.

    I fear for the inevitable switch to hot and dry weather. Our summers have been getting warmer and drier and I’m sure this summer is not going to be different.

11. And yet people laugh when I suggest riding a bike to work.

12. Let’s all vote right-wing & climate deniers, so it won’t effect us! /s

13. Sun activity correlation

14. My country helped lowering the stats by having a shitty weather since the beginning of the year, we finally did something useful !

15. And, where are the trees and public water sources in t he cities?

    Where is the fully electrified (underground, tram, trolley) public transportation?

    Where is the ban on cars?

    Start doing something and start doing it faster?

    I wonder where are those assholes that were criticizing Greata Thunberg on everything…

16. Interesting.. in the Paris area, yesterday the humidity dropped to 45% for a while with 18 degrees.. I actually felt cold and had to close window..

    In my hometown j. Romania though.. yes we are already at 35 or so… It’s bad.
