I mean, they are eventually killed but not killed for their wool.

Depends on the farmer. Some are really rough with the sheers and end up cutting the skin. Some really throw the sheep about and aren’t really looked after well.

This is great but how will it be enacted. In response Israel cut all of Gaza’s communications and has been bombing all night. I am sick with worry

Isn’t Texas famously very rightwing? If so, this is great news!

While the data presented here only goes back to 1979, I seem to recall that some scientists worked out global average temperatures based on coral reef core samples and ice core samples. I think there were some other samples too but I can’t remember what they were. So they are the hottest ever

Great, but do they emit aerosols? Until we bring down CO₂ levels we need to keep aerosols up for the masking effect.

Every fucking time.

This is a really informative video on it. But essentially yes, depending on where you are, what the jetstreams are doing, depends on how el Niño will effect different regions.

Agree but I do think that our climate and weather systems are so complex that it’s just one big thing. It’s all interconnected. Like the soot from wild fire smoke landing on glaciers and sea ice, reducing albedo, increasing temperatures, making el Niño more hotter, causing more wild fires.

Mine was “Fuckity bye”

El Niño is a major problem. Before it kicked in the North Atlantic sea surface temperature was a full degree above last years record breaking temperature. The addition of el Niño, this summer, could have a terribly effect on Arctic sea ice extent, and potentially catastrophic next year summer.

Also the Antarctic sea ice is freezing at the slowest rate since they started recording in 1979, it is currently 2 million km² below where it should be. As the extent will be so low at the peak of the southern hemisphere’s winter, the melt season in summer, with the sea being hotter due to el Niño, is going to be pretty fucking bad. And with less white ice to reflect the heat, and more dark ocean to absorb it, it will get even hotter!

We temporarily crossed the 1.5°C threshold earlier this month. Next year it is likely we’ll cross is more frequently.

El Niño while it is a cycle, because things are so fucked at the moment, it will only hasten ecological collapse.

Oh and it might finally kill off most coral.

Oh man, reddit is falling apart.

Infinity for Reddit had a message about becoming a subscription based platform. So I closed my accounts and came here.
