it's cool
Sitting here and it's March 6th and I hear the spring birds outside and it's been raining. Now the months are even getting bumped up.

It was spring in mid February here. Also a few roses were still in bloom at the end of OCTOBER
where I live this year it snowed on Halloween and also yesterday
Robins and red-winged blackbirds have been back in my neighborhood for a couple weeks, and we're hearing spring peepers every night. If it keeps this up, we will have a very early morel season.
Jesus that's not good.
Yeah I'm going to start looking for ramps in the woods this weekend, about a month ahead of "normal" schedule
Luckily the rate at which things worsen will never change and everything is very predictable and the experts are in charge.
In this house we believe in Science
Good news: We've removed February
Bad news: We've replaced it with Mega-August
The months/seasons in Rimworld are Aprimay, Jugust, Septober & Decembary and for whatever reason this has always tickled me.
lousy maugust weather…
Can't we just add ice cubes?
Thus solving the problem, once and for all
ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
Push Antarctica in
I wonder if the release of more Methane than any event in recorded history between September and November of 2022 had any connection to this.
Probably not. Similar to the way that it takes a minute to warm up after you put on a blanket, there's a multiyear lag on the order of 10-20 years between emissions and warming impact.
Methane only stays in the air for about 12 years, but it absorbs more energy than carbon emissions, so it's impact would be seen quicker, wouldn't it?
Good point, consider me owned by facts and logic.
owned
It very well might but I can't find any global concentration data that recent.
NATOPEDIA:
Andrew Baxter, director of energy strategy for the Environmental Defense Fund, said he estimated that about 115,000 tonnes (250 million pounds) of methane had been released into the environment. To date, this may be the largest gas leak in human history. According to German estimates, about 300,000 tonnes (660 million pounds) of methane, which is one of the most potent greenhouse gases (more potent than CO2), was emitted into the atmosphere. This amount of gas is enough to affect the environment for another 20 years, with an annual gas emission capacity of 5.48 million combustion-engined cars.
Certainly a disaster but a pretty small contribution in the grand scheme of things.
do you have a source for that (not doubting just wanna read more)
I genuinely don’t know, probably not.
I know the 2022 ICCP climate report stated methane mitigation is vital to stopping rising temps.
Then we blow up Nordstream and it create a methane plume in the Baltic that created an energy crisis in the highest consumption continent. Now gas is being moved by tankers from south and east Asia, and North America into Europe.
The point someone made earlier about the short “earth time” being too fast to notice this type of change.
I don’t think it helped the ocean
It's fine, we're going to do carbon credits (which have been scientifically proven to not work) and try for net-zero by 2050 (two decades too late). 
Gonna invest in a tree farm to grab up some carbon credits, and when it burns down in an inferno I can collect insurance.
Totally Warm and Normal
Warmal, even
The new warmal 
more like exis-temperate
Not good.
life on earth shouldn't have voted for jill stein in wisconsin in 2016
I wonder if all the bombs, mortars, and tanks that have come in to use in the previous year have anything to do with it? :(
The U.S. military alone creates emissions on par with Sweden.
It will in a couple decades
It's a good thing the revolutionary French calendar never caught on or we'd have to start renaming the months

Literally praying for one of those now

Sometimes I wonder how the people in charge look at themselves with a straight face and call themselves Christian. Like, do they seriously think the Christian God would just let them get away with this? There's only so much they can lie to themselves about.
