A hypothetical weather forecast for 2050 is coming true next week
Two years ago, forecasters in the UK conducted an interesting thought experiment: What will our forecasts look like in 2050?
The climate crisis is pushing weather to the extreme all over the world, and temperatures in the northern latitudes have been particularly sensitive to these changes. So meteorologists at the UK Met Office -- the official weather forecast agency for the UK -- dove in to the super long-range climate models in the summer of 2020 to see what kind of temperatures they'd be forecasting in about three decades.
"Not actual weather forecast," the Met Office's graphics said. "Examples of plausible weather based on climate projections."
Well, on Monday and Tuesday, the "plausible" becomes reality -- 28 years early.

SAS unit repeatedly killed Afghan detainees, BBC finds
SAS operatives in Afghanistan repeatedly killed detainees and unarmed men in suspicious circumstances, according to a BBC investigation.
Newly obtained military reports suggest that one unit may have unlawfully killed 54 people in one six-month tour.
The BBC found evidence suggesting the former head of special forces failed to pass on evidence to a murder inquiry.
The Ministry of Defence said British troops "served with courage and professionalism in Afghanistan".

- hey! it's that successful guy that didn't work a day in life because he did what he loved AND still committed suicide. #goalsimbecile
- the queen is a guy who committed suicide ?neverscared
- If you're thinking about killing yourself just don't.palimpsest
- Eh, I'll get around to it when I'm good and ready.garbage
- @imbecile Implying that Bourdain wasn't a notorious workaholic? He ran several restaurants then penned several books while juggling countless television shows.garbage
- (shit I didn't see the "because he did what he loved" and had a kneejerk reaction. My bad)garbage
- Yeah, you don't know what struggles a person is going through. And if anything, the fact that he was successful, despite his struggles, is even more admirable.mort_
- stupid fucking responsesimbecile
- Indeed.palimpsest
- huh?mort_
- Yes.palimpsest
- Just too quick, I thought he was talking shit about AB.garbage
- Yes.palimpsest
- What restaurant(a) did he run?monospaced
- No offense intended not disrespect, because I loved the guy, but he worked at Les Halles for a few years but never ran a single restaurant in his entire career.monospaced
- He shouldn't have killed himself either way.palimpsest
- What does that even mean "he shouldn't..." ?mort_
- He should have not.palimpsest
- He did. So what does that mean?mort_
- "I am sad that he killed himself" or "the world is worse off because he killed himself" - is that what you're trying to say?mort_
- Or that he had a choice and he chose wrongly?mort_
- Didn't say founded, but he was head chef at a few spots before Les Halles. Head chef is head chef.garbage
- And everyone has the right to kill themselves if they want to. I didn't want to be 30, and I'll be damned if I turn 50. Unless I change my mind.garbage
- Yes, he made the wrong choice. He did what he loved AND still committed suicide. The right choice was to not kill himself. Read third note.palimpsest
- The only qualm I have about Bourdain's exit is that he had a daughter. He probably had his reasons, but he'll never be able to explain them.garbage
- I think he probably didn't feel like he had a choice. Leaving a daughter behind makes that all the more heartbreaking.mort_
- He had a shit ton of demons. NPD, severe depression, addiction, etc. I think it's a little grey to say he made "the wrong choice".garbage
- I'm bipolar, and have wanted to kill myself since I was in middle school. I haven't, because I have work to do.garbage
- It might have been selfish, but calling his choice wrong is a bit weird. We in America are all in a riot about bodily autonomy right now.garbage
- So what about the autonomy of the soul? He probably couldn't stand being alive anymore, regardless of his success. Or he just had a bad day.garbage
- Pray the depression away.palimpsest
- lol, and here I was thinking you were going to have a serious conversation.garbage
- There's not much to say, really. If you're still here then you're doing something right.babydick_
- I'm just saying that I'm blessed with a certain genetic harmony that all but guarantees that I will forget myself and everyone I love at a young age.garbage
- So yes, I will off myself when things go dim and I don't recognize the man in the mirror. When I'm no longer me, my loved ones will not be burdened.garbage

Kemi is out.
Dammit. Makes me want to kill puppies.
Who is the least woke person among Rishi, Liz Truss, and that other lassie?
I need to know who to support now. This is serious bidness.
- They're all as bad as Boris in their own uniquely shit way. I support none of them as I didn't or can't vote for any of them. The sooner the Tories fuck off...Ianbolton
- End of the day they're all tories so fuck 'em all, but Liz is probably the best of a bad bunch :-/lemoucheron
- It doesn't matter, they all have the same corporate masters. Rishi will get it.Chimp

- No one ever thinks of the gingers. except the new father who wasn't expecting a ginger child and is now full of questions.Nairn
- Fawking LOL
That sounded like it hit too close to home.palimpsest - So you just choose to identify as ginger?
To keep appearances?palimpsest - Do gingers count as POCs? Or are they people without colour? Anyway they deserve some kind of flag a day to make them feel special.Chimp
- i wonder how dense the urban area is comparing 1976 with 2022. also how many death in 1976. instead of one line saying "everybody loved it"pango
- I'll post this, because I'm not sure everybody gets the difference between 1976 and 2022. I read the post as dark British humour and not serious fact.uan

- Sadly, uan, I think whoever made the graphic made it sincerely.Nairn
- The joke is that people in 2022 are throwing a fit over less extreme weather than in 1976.palimpsest
- as deadly as it comes https://twitter.com/… be happy johnneverscared
- It’s not less extreme. It’s more extreme in general and as the norm now and that is undisputed.monospaced
- Surely it's all Thather's fault, and in 1976 we were still high off the '66 WC win.MrT
- ohhh the good old days when people complain but nobody hears about it.pango
