Floods, Fires, and Heat Domes (the climate change thread) (Part 1)

despite the propaganda ala

edit/ can please somebody explain to me whats up with NYC?!? I was going back the data several years and it seems that NewYorkCity is the worst manmade permanent single-sourced emitter of CO and CO2 on the whole fucking planet?!? it tops LosAngeles by far and every city in china or india or fucking elsewhere. ze fuck?!?

you cant make that shit up; its just rush-hour. seriously.
