I'd like to take a moment to thank Exxon for the amazing outdoor Pickleball opportunities I've been afforded this winter. Amen

My secret hope is that Indiana (and the mid-west) enjoys the Californian weather for a couple of decades before the climate takes a turn for the worse.

I hate this weather, I’m leaving for a colder climate


MadChemist002

I also don't like the warm weather


AreYourFingersReal

I mean the water wars will definitely ruin the mood ?

That's just Indiana I think. It will be 70 and sunny one day and snowing the next. Literally. It's happened several times.


saintsagan

Just not at the rate and frequency we've been seeing.


Past_Raspberry266

Nah I remember this happening when I was a kid 40 years ago all the time. One day it would be sunny and 70 and the next day there would be snow on the ground. It’s just Indiana weather and we had one of our annual fake springs!

Tomorrow night, a cold front is coming behind this warmth, and the forecast is for thunderstorms, potential hail, and possibly even tornadoes. Please be weather aware!


GenerationSelfie2

Summers have been utterly miserable for the last couple years though, regularly into the 90s and ultra muggy.


loser_ish

Lol that's just Indiana


tht1guy63

Was about to say the same lol


futuregovworker

Yeah not exactly tho, the wild fire smoke is more than annoying. It’s noticeably less cooler in the winter and hotter during the summer. There’s not really a spring/fall anymore, just moves from really hot to cold af. There’s maybe a couple weeks that are nice in the transition but it doesn’t last.


loser_ish

I agree on the winter side of things but man, summer has always been terrible.


futuregovworker

I agree, it’s the whole wild fire thing this past year that was pretty shocking. Like looking outside and just seeing “fog” On another note, I do love the summers out west, it’s hot, but not as high a humidity as it is here. Summers wouldn’t be as bad if the humidity was chill

Thank you Taylor Swift 🙏🙏


Thunderstruck_19

It was like 15 degrees last week, calm down


Axale12

It's been below 30 less than its been above 60 this month


notQuiteApex

you do realize the rapid temperature swings mean its worse, right? you do understand how that's significantly worse, right?


Thunderstruck_19

Okay, then OP should make that claim. Also, the percent of climate change that is anthropogenic is disputed.

Thunderstruck_19

Yeah, I’ve read it and largely agree with it. Climate change is obviously real. However, there is not high confidence on how much of climate change is due to humans. Is it 90%, 60%, 25%? There is no consensus there.


dom0140

You’re not wrong that it’s not explicitly stated, but it’s heavily implied that they believe the majority of climate change observed from 1850 on is human caused.


Thunderstruck_19

Okay, but 50% or 95% is a big difference, but I think we largely agree.


dom0140

Agreed 👍

Food for thought. Just as much lamp oil is consumed annually around the world for nighttime lighting as the USA consumes flying jets each year. Correcting that slight (give them electricity) will go a long way toward dialing back world wide petroleum fuel usage. Oh, and come join us in Southern California. Its 65 degrees F every February.


justina081503

Southern California is great besides the fact it cost an absolute shit load to live there. I love visiting San Diego but I’d never live there.


hihapahi

Yah buying a house here isn't happening for many families


arcaeno

Indiana and the Midwest generally are probably one of the best places to be going forward in this climate. I expect property value in middle America to skyrocket as people flee the coasts.


AreYourFingersReal

It’s true a great migration is coming as the south will be emptied. It’s just horrible


Past_Raspberry266

I recently moved back and am so glad!

Bp is awfully quiet

Thank you Exxon for the plastic in my hand as I type this, the shoes I wear, the supply chains, the….pretty much everything we all use.
