I think it's actually more appropriate to say that Europe is way further North than most people think based on its climate and such.
The only reason north west Europe's climate isn't more like Canada's is because the Gulf Stream and AMOC drag heat up North from the Southern hemisphere.
For now.
I live in the equivalent of halfway up Alaska. It's gonna be fun when the heat stops coming in
"See, coldest winter yet! Global warming is a myth."
Tbf, "global warming" is a myth. Well, more of a misnomer. On the other hand, climate change will fucking kill us all.
It's neither of those things though.
It is a true and accurate description of the impact our actions are having on the planet. It is getting measurably warmer and faster even than the scientific models predicted when Inconvenient truth came out
The problem is that on an individual, day to day, experience, the "warming" is barely perceivable. Sometimes you'll get record lows and other times record highs.
Climate change is probably a better term for it, because we are changing the climate, and that involves more than just warming (see ocean acidification). But the global average temperature is still increasing/warming.
Sorry for the pedantry. I realise you probably knew a lot/all of that, I've just seen too many bad faith actors in the realm of online climate change/global warming discussion.
Hey, no worries. My comment was not meant to be dismissive or fuel for climate change denial, more just a silly joke. I agree with you completely across the board. Honestly, over explaining in a context that can potentially be taken either way like my comment is completely understandable and welcome. Pedant away :)
Yeah most is above Toronto and Toronto is cold as fuck. If a good portion is above that, it's more like Alaska or Siberia
Most people meaning Europeans, from my experience.
The rest of us understand why we have things like air conditioning. Only Europeans seem to not understand they are from the north north.
don't forget the ~30 degree tilt of the earth's axis..
Does that make a difference? I feel like that wouldn't make a difference since the earth rotates?
Not in this discussion, since Canada and Europe are both in roughly the same latitude on the Northern Hemisphere and thus tilted by the same amount relative to the poles.
