Trump’s first term started in 2017. This warming effect first became visible around 2013-2014. As much as i hate that orange menace, this thing was already happening before him. It’ll take several years, if not a decade for his actions to show their effect on the climate.

From the article:

Across all of the datasets, the acceleration started to become visible in 2013 or 2014. The researchers describe the broader shift as beginning around 2015, when the evidence became clearer.

Further in the article they point out, that they don’t have an explanation yet, but they do mention that the models occasionally show that kind of effect. So it’s not entirely unexpected.

The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015

The massive AI data centers are too new to have an effect yet.

Well, can’t expect much growth if every major sub is turning into a christo-fascist cesspit, boosted by bad actor AI bots.

lol, what a read

I’m just waiting for the “too big to fail” excuse

Now i feel poor

Oh, i know a few here in Germany, specifically rural Lower Bavaria. But i’m not surprised by that, since these idiots are also voting for AfD, and love to eat up Russian propaganda.

“Land of the free”

Oh yeah, i certainly can believe that he “studied” boy dick quite closely…

Suspiciously often with a “.ml” domain ending for whatever reason

History be like:

Yes, for most airplanes that is indeed the case.

Only if they’re lucky

They’ll just tell you that the US is a “Republic, not a democracy” without even understanding what either of these words mean.

“If you keep doing what i don’t like, i’m gonna shoot my own foot!”

Actual mainstream Democrats are not doing “purity tests”, a lout, super left wing branch is.

Yeah, i’m not talking about democrats as a whole, they’re not “left” from a European perspective, i was talking about those who are quite a bit further left of centre. The people who “taught the Dems a lesson” by *checks notes* hiding at home, writing performative bullshit on social media and are dogpiling on anyone who dares to cast a shadow of a doubt at their imaginary moral high ground. As i had the pleasure of experiencing first hand, when i dared to question the decision of some random US non-voter commenting on Bluesky…

The point is, that pretty much every party can be changed from the inside, if people are persistent enough. Change never happens on its own. At least not for the better. And if you want to help people in other countries, you first need to make sure your own country stays safe. Sadly, the US is a two-party failed state, and in my opinion, the only realistic peaceful way to change that, is to join the lesser evil of the two parties and force the change from within. The other option is to just burn everything to the ground and start from the beginning.

The fun part is, that the Republicans didn’t even start out as a Maga cult party. They got infiltrated. Not just by rich people, but by people from all sorts of backgrounds, joining or voting for support. Nothing is stopping the left from doing the same with the Democrats. But for that to happen, they’d need to stop with the constant purity tests…
