Unprecedented weather...my ass. We are just unable to zoom out due to lack of data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_humid_period
P.S. before someone attacks me. I do support green transition, but I also hate hysteria about it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus_on_climate_change
"There is scientific consensus that the Earth has been consistently warming since the start of the Industrial Revolution, that the rate of recent warming is largely unprecedented,[1]: 8 [2]: 11 and that this warming is mainly the result of a rapid increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by human activities."
EDIT: A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that billions of people will be affected by heat unbearable for the human body if global temperature were to rise 2° C above pre-industrial levels.
Not sure why you wrote this?
I didn't write a single thing. I copy and pasted links and excerpts.
That took place over 10000 years, not 100.
Exactly the point.
We are currently 100x speed running a similar change in a densely populated area that has an order of magnitude more people living in it than have ever lived combined in the Sahara region since the start of time.
And while Europe for now seems to be the most directly effected continent, the rest of the world is following only a few steps behind.
This totally is unprecedented.
From the link:
Do you have trouble understanding time scale?
Do you? Ancient Egypt was 5000 years ago not 10000.
I said over the span of 10000 years, not 10000 years ago.
You think ancient Egypt popped up over night or something?
Where??? What hysteria??
Literally what the fuck are you even referring to? It's the opposite of hysteria out here.
Nobody. Gives. A. Fuck.
Wow, 2026 and we still have climate change deniers
Where?
