Current models point towards a max ~6°C anomaly for the pessimistic (and, imo, most probable) scenarios where we continue acting as we are now.

In the future, computers will do all our art and entertainment for us so we can concentrate on making rich people more money. Yay!

And how likely is it that a conservative majority SC will stand up to Trump?

Men are going off the deep end

I just remember news about Germany planning to halve military aid to Ukraine from the summer, but honestly I haven’t been keeping up with the situation

But considering that Ukraine has been facing consistent shortages of materiel – including things like various kinds of artillery ammunition (although part of the problem especially with shells is that production is still ramping up) – that really doesn’t seem to have been the case. A lot of the equipment they’ve been given has just been token amounts that are clearly not enough but makes it seem like at least we’re doing something.

And none of that necessarily translates to a sufficient will to help Ukraine. Germany has already been making it clear they want to scale down support

While allies of US President-elect Donald Trump insist that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may have to cede territory to bring the conflict to an end, Sir Tony insisted that Western allies would be resolute for “as long as it takes”.

Let’s see how long that resolution holds once the US stops aid and starts blackmailing other countries to do the same by eg. threatening to cut NATO funding

That’s too many nuts. The recommended maximum amount of nuts is 2

Absolutely, but at least in many countries people understand that – here people love to pretend that there is no corruption here at all and that we’re good, honest folk all of us.

Finland is surprisingly corrupt (it’s just not the sort of corruption where you bribe cops) and Finns are generally stupid and gullible enough to think we’re not corrupt

“Understandable, I hope you have a better one”

Surprisingly few downvotes so far.

Lemmy stalinists are going to enjoy this one

Oh yes it makes absolute sense, I just find it hilarious that reich-wingers will say “woke leftist commies are pro-Russia” like they think it’s a bad thing while simultaneously idolizing Russia and Putin. I’d hate to drag 1984 into this, but it’s just such a classic example of doublethink that it’d be amazing to behold if these fucks weren’t in power

Yeah the democratic socialist party here in Finland that I vote for (The Left Alliance) has had some of the most vocal opponents of Russia for years now, even before Russia’s invasion of Crimea way back when. Funnily (?) enough the right wing extremists currently in government say leftists are pro-Russian like they think it’s a bad thing, while at the same time being explicitly pro-Russian – some going as far as visiting “Hitler youth camps” organized by Russia some years ago and claiming they were doing super secret spy stuff when questioned about it earlier this year.

What really baffles me about some self-described leftists is how can anyone look at the shit Russians do on a daily basis and go “yes, this country seems nice and progressive and very anti-imperialist.”

And the whole time Russia has been saying it’s a dangerous escalation, and that sending weapons to Ukraine is tantamount to participating in the war.

Remember, if “the west” so much as sends letters of warm regard, let alone troops, to Ukraine, Russia will feel like that’s justification for starting WW III. They can naturally do whatever they want, because Russia.

The only other sources I could find for this with some quick searching were other rags like Express. It’s all based off some Russian Telegram channel, so the reliability is questionable at best
