Nah, just racist brainworms. How climate change will affect each country is hard to predict, but I'd guess (worst to best)

  • south and southeast Asia will be the worst affected due to heatwaves and famines
  • Meditteranean Europe will become hotter and drier
  • Atlantic Europe will become very cold as the Gulf Stream weakens.
  • eastern Amazon turns into a grassland or even a desert, causing droughts in Brazil
  • north america moderately affected
  • southern and western South America, and Southern Africa, moderately affected
  • northern Russia might benefit but southern Russia and Central Asia would become too hot and dry
  • China will figure out something (assuming no WW3)
  • north and West Africa could benefit from increased rainfall and the greening of the Sahara.

Obviously, this is not ecological advice; don't trust anyone who thinks they can forecast climate change, etc.

Even this isn't true. Areas closer to the poles are warming (and will warm) faster than ones close to the equator. And Atlantic Europe will cool as the Gulf Stream weakens.

Isn't it one Iron Dome unit that got hit? I'm assuming there are multiple sites.

'Lie detectors' don't even work. They just measure how stressed you are and assume that stress = lying.

Boeing paying racist bot farms to go around claiming Indians are too subhuman to properly maintain their totaly not faulty engines.

From Wikipedia, Air India's last flight loss was 40 years ago, in 1985 (to a terrorist attack). On the other hand, Air India was sold by the Indian government to a private company in 2022, so yeah.

Also, forests do not keep accumulating carbon forever. At some point the system reaches an equilibrium where any new carbon trapped is offset by an equal amount respired out.

For some reason the solution is restart the laptop with its actual power chord unplugged.

Microsoft creates weird issues no one else can even imagine. At this point I'm no longer pissed, I'm just curious how they did it.

In Oliver Twist, the workhouses abuse the children in their care by not giving them enough food. Now we've somehow crossed even that line.

US: moves Bishop to Rome

UK: moves King to Canada

Wonder what US will do next.

 

Reminder that Luigi Mangione, the handsome young man most unfairly accused of murder, is a Catholic. He is also white, Italian and vaguely paternalistic. Finally, he has been compared to Jesus and various saints, and is seen as a champion of the sick and the downtrodden.

All I'm saying is, the College of Cardinals has a chance to do something very funny.
