Those footprints are on land, and we were the only people out there who actually attempted to fish. NM mountains

Northern Italy here. We are having the coldest winter in 10 years. At my house, I live I the countryside, we had - 8°C for quite a few days this week, and also in November a streak of unusual cold.

While I can feel the global warming, and I think climate change is a reality, this doesn't mean that we won't have anymore frozen lakes...

Maybe less, indeed, and I wouldn't invest in a frozen lake fishing enterprise (nor skying in the Alps for that matter), but don't consider a locally warm season as the last good winter is gone forever... :)

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

It's not so much that climate change means an increase in temperature, that's why we kind of stopped talking about global warming, and used climate change instead.

The overall average temperature is steadily rising, but the bigger everyday issue is that it leads to wilder fluctuations in frequency and intensities of weather events. Hurricanes are more frequent AND more intense, tornados are more frequent and stronger, heat waves are hotter and last longer, cold snaps are colder, etc.

So a record cold snap is not proof that climate change is a hoax, it's proof that it's true.

Central Italy here. For the first time in this decade I found ice on the windshield. I remember in the 90s it was thick ice for 3 months and I was always late for school because it took too much time to scrape it

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 22 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

It means extremes for sure. It's why the hurr durr it's cold out people are morons, our climates are changing. Warming causes global changes.

Some areas get drier like California. Some places get colder. Midwest of the US gets more intense and frequent tornadoes and extreme storms. My area is getting more rain.

Take what you already get in terms of extreme weather, dial it up to 11.

Yeah, if it warms enough that the gulf stream goes poof, Europe will get much colder winters.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Isn't the amoc pretty much stalled out already?

[–] cazssiew@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

And the gulf of Mexico will be a fucking cauldron

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 2 points 18 hours ago

My areas weather is slowing improving a lot. Much drier and much less humidity is good... Not for agricultural and tourism (skying) but for actualiving here yes.

Granted, I had to install AC for that time in the summer (2 days 7 years ago, 2 weeks nowdays). And winters are still cold... But being overall much drier I love it more.

So is that a good thing? Nope. But you need to adapt I guess, not much hope in us fixing it.

We had -13 a couple days and yet our lake has not frozen in about 15 years. Used to freeze every year. People used it as a shortcut for hauling lumber for gods sake.

Climate change is real.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 2 points 8 hours ago

Yes I fully agree...

"We get record temperatures every year, its nothing new"

[–] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 15 hours ago

Northern Italy here. We are having the coldest winter in 10 years.

Idk where in the North are you, but around these parts the "exceptional" cold just means it's been a winter like the ones we used to have in the past, young people just don't remember, or, no discrimination intended, they're not from around here.

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago

In our area, this winter has been wild. It's thawed completely twice. We were at +13C on wednesday and now its back to -5C today. You guys with your consistent weather through the season are fortunate. I've seen two days where the daily temperature kept rising until after midnight and didn't get cold until about 2am. Now what the hell is that?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 15 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Okay and for those who live in places where ice and snow don't happen, what's the image supposed to be explaining? I believe you that there is something wrong here, but I've no idea

[–] TastehWaffleZ@lemmy.world 26 points 20 hours ago

The lake is frozen over with ice but it’s melted. This winter has been setting heat records where I live so I assume it’s the same where OP is trying to go ice fishing and they’re saying that due to climate change they probably won’t get a chance to go ice fishing again

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It's January, you should be able to drive a truck on the ice. Climate change

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 3 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Not really here... You need to be a 1000km further north, maybe 1500km. And we have below freezing winters usually....

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 8 points 20 hours ago

From OPs anger I think we can assume he may live 1000km further north

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Honestly I wouldn't know, I live in Los Angeles and am just going off things I've seen in the past about ice fishing shacks in like Minnesota and Canada. Meanwhile I've got flowers blooming in my garden on plants that have had enough water for the first time in their lives.

Century? Fish? I like your optimism.
