A heatwave continues to grip large parts of Europe, with authorities in many countries issuing health warnings amid searing temperatures.

Southern Spain is the worst-affected region, with temperatures in the mid-40s Celsius recorded in Seville and neighbouring areas.

A new heat record for June of 46C was set on Saturday in the town of El Granado, according to Spain’s national weather service, which also said this month is on track to be the hottest June on record.

    You’re using a phone, which not only uses energy and petrochemicals to make but sometimes even slave labor.

    We’re doomed because of idiots like you lmao. How does it feel knowing you’re responsible for the end of humanity?

        1. You’re the guy in the well. That’s why I quoted you.

        And 2:

        •I also used a second hand phone until it couldn’t be repaired anymore.

        •I avoid taking planes but very rarely, maybe every 4-5 years take one because even by plane my family lives about 20 hours away, since people still want me to visit them, which I’m getting the feeling might not be your case.

        •Don’t drive, don’t even have the train or electric bus much, since I can walk/bike most everywhere I need.

        •Don’t have A/C

        •I live in Finland

        •This whole posting and thread is about Spain, not the USA, so presumably most people talking about installing an A/C are in Spain or the EU, which makes sense since it seems nearly all of the USA has A/C already.

        1. Since you’re keen on purity tests, even the potential detriment of people’s health, it’s fair to call out your hypocrisy. You probably still have polyester clothes, use plastics of some sort, have a computer, etc. Hence why you’re the guy in the well. To the point I was going to use that comic as my original post.

        Then again, you’re a baby account made today meaning you’ve probably already been banned somewhere multiple times before for simply being an unlikeable asshole and this is a new alt for you.

            You know without quoting there’s no context right? Just makes you sound a bit mad being this off topic. Especially since the majority of Lemmy is against the Palestinian genocide.

            I should add a point 4:

            You’re a privileged commentariat who lives somewhere that hasn’t been hit so hard by climate change yet to the point where A/C is needed for health reasons, and you lack the self awareness to know of that. That’s why you’re the person in the well.

            You didn’t offer the person who needs A/C a better solution, like a heat pump; you didn’t ask if they use renewable energy (I don’t know of Spain but here in Finland we can pick what energy company we use, and me and my wife have one that is 100% renewable/nuclear); you assumed they weren’t from the EU.

            That’s why you’re the person in the well. You never offered or discussed potential ways to improve things, or even if they need the A/C; you merely criticized someone who exists in society for partaking in society ie trying to survive the heat waves.

                I grew up in El Salvador until I had to go to school, and then summers were in El Salvador. We traveled by bus. That is until the gang wars got too dangerous. My parents are from El Salvador and had to leave because of the civil war that the USA meddled in because the revolutionaries were “scary socialists”. At home we only spoke Spanish, and watched and listened to Spanish media like Univision and Sábado Gigante.

                Español es mi primer lenguaje, that’s why the second half of my username is in Spanish (sal is salt in Spanish, lumi is snow in Finnish).

                Growing up in poverty, most of my life without A/C, and from a time when plastic wasn’t as common because I’m older, and tech was expensive and uncommon, I’m pretty sure my life time pollution output has been lower than yours, too.

                I’ve taken that long travel journey of Finland / USA only twice, once to move here, and the second time because I have family that actually cares about me to the point they bought my plane tickets that second time. I’m sorry you don’t know that feeling.

                But go on, do keep speaking, letting any doubt about you being the fool be removed.

                Oh, btw:

                You’re a idiot that cannot comprehend anything but burning more juice to solve all your problem

                Literally makes you the guy in the well depicted as the asshole no one likes, especially considering there’s literally no other way to visit family.

                You were talking about Eterra originally. I apologize, didn’t realize you had memory health issues as well.

                Clearly not talking to me since I don’t have, or need, A/C. Since you may be geographically challenged, Finland is very very far north.

                    Gee, I wonder why you were banned before lol.

                    I really wonder what level of self hate you must have to be this much of an asshole. And that’s coming from someone who was already almost killed by racists twice. I’m not surprised you’re yet another person itching to kill a minority from an originally poor background.
