Seems as though pretty much every dark cloud has a silver lining:
Europe is in the throes of a late-autumn heat wave, easing pressure on gas stocks as the bloc braces for its first winter without Russian fossil fuels.
Though Europe has seen milder-than-average temperatures for much of October, the late-autumn heat wave peaked this weekend, bringing temperatures as high as 35 degrees above normal to parts of the continent.
In many parts of Europe, highs climbed this weekend into the 70s and 80s, more like summer than the end of October.
In France, Saturday was the hottest day ever measured after Oct. 20, French meteorologist Etienne Kapikian noted on Twitter, with temperatures reaching 87 degrees Fahrenheit in the country’s southwest.
I guess that “global warming” thing isn’t all bad, now? Or should we just call it “Euro-Warming“?
…all that said, though, I do get stirrings of a Schadenböner at the prospect of the Euros having to shiver through the consequences of their own Green insanity.
I hope the green watermelons turn on the Europeans. They’re screwing up Global Warming! hahahahahha
