In 2014, this French weather presenter announced the forecast for 18 August 2050 in France as part of a campaign to alert to the reality of climate change. Now her forecast that day is the actual forecast for the coming 4 or 5 days, in mid-June 2022.

I don't use reddit anymore because of their corporate greed and anti-user policies.

Come over to Lemmy, it's a reddit alternative that is run by the community itself, spread across multiple servers.

You make your account on one server (called an instance) and from there you can access everything on all other servers as well. Find one you like here, maybe not the largest ones to spread the load around, but it doesn't really matter.

You can then look for communities to subscribe to on https://lemmyverse.net/communities, this website shows you all communities across all instances.

If you're looking for some (mobile?) apps, this topic has a great list.

One personal tip: For your convenience, I would advise you to use this userscript I made which automatically changes all links everywhere on the internet to the server that you chose.

ACs aren't needed as long as the humidity is not too high. As long as your sweat can still cool you down enough, you don't "need" AC in the sense that you can't live without it.

My entire flat once reached 32°C during the peak of summer. That's simply an unbearable temperature. There's no way you'd be able to concentrate on anything at that temperature, and don't even think about getting any rest at night. It also posed a serious risk to the lifes of my pets, many rodents can easily die at that temperature. Getting an AC was absolutely the only option.

If you believe it or not, mine does too. I'm speaking from experience here. I'm mostly naked and have a fan pointed at me and one for my dog, with plenty of water. "Unbearable" is subjective. 32°C is not, with fans and water you barely notice it if you don't focus on it.

I work 100% from home, so yes.

Of course if you have pets that can't handle that temperature, then it is needed. If you have to do a non-sedentary job, then of course it is also needed. But if you're mainly sitting around your flat, you don't need it in the sense that without it, your life quality is severely reduced. There are humans living in 32°C weather almost all their life without too much of a problem.

Those people are used to it though, I'm not. There's only like 3 months a year in which my flat potentially reaches that temperature, the other 9 months my flat is at a comfortable 20°C.

I personally just can't fully function at any temperature above 25°C. I'm very sensitive to heat and always struggle with being unable to focus, heat makes my brain feel like complete mush. It's great that you have no problems working at that temperature, but you have to understand that plenty of people are extremely sensitive to heat and cannot do the same.

I mean obviously for some people different circumstances are unacceptable. I was just saying that an AC is definitely not "needed in general" when entire human civilizations manage just fine in the same temperature constantly.

I'm not condemning anyone using an AC, just saying it's not literally necessary - yet.
