We are sure to break some new records.

Most bugs are dead besides mosquitos we live in the world of the mosquito

Holy shit man. This is so true and scary. I felt so at home when I used to see butterflies, months and little bugs in parka and gardens. I don't know how to describe this. It felt complete. Now? I just slowly drink myself to the end.

I went on a backpacking trip a few summers ago, and actually saw a lot of insects. But they were mostly the same several species (two kinds of orange butterflies, a blue dragonfly species, and a couple types of grasshoppers). I always wonder how much diversity I would have seen 100 years ago.

It was always like that, but it would be different species the nwst time you went.
Automatic-Funny-8842@reddit
Yeah. We killed Earth out of our collective ego as a species. We just think we know better. We deserve more and more of everything. Its like Rust said in True Detective, non-verbatim, "Nature created an offshoot of nature separate from itself. The best thing for us would be to walk into the oblivion hand in hand."

It makes sense with all of these blood suckers running the status quo

Now with 70% less biomass!
AntiBoATX@reddit
30 days is 1/12th of the year aka 8.3% of the total. We’re almost at 10% increase in summer!!! Woooooooooo
Cultural-Answer-321@reddit
Pfft. Summer is 90 days longer in my region.
Once again, we see reports trying to minimize just how bad things are.

Hell yeah! Summers the best month

As someone who has a violently scathing hatred of winter and snow and that gray fucking gloom and any temperature below 69f really; longer, warmer summers are the sole benefit of climate change. There'll be food shortages and water shortages and steadily declining economic prospects but at least I'll be warm, Goddamnit.

With winter, you can always warm up.
With summer, you struggle to cool down. You can only get so hot before your body shuts down.
We're not talking about 90 degree summers year-round with a collapse.
We're talking about summers that will ultimately make large swathes of this planet uninhabitable and force billions to migrate to places not yet affected. The melting of land ice that will result in sea levels rising and sinking coastal regions.
Entire regions will be reduced to deserts.
There may be some portions of the planet that will trickle in the opposite direction—hot areas getting cold—but the planet will be heating up more often than not.
A lot of people are going to die in the next few decades.

I read this sub daily (which I definitely shouldn't) and I've read some of Hansen's work. I know fully well what the 2030s and 40s are going to look like. It can't be changed or avoided or mitigated; we are all 200% turbo-fucked, so you need to find some kind of silver lining and for me it's getting to enjoy longer summers. It's not just the cold, it's the terminal fucking gloom that gets me. Everything's gray, everything's dead, it's miserable. When I was a child and snow still existed at least you could have fun with it. Now I just have no tolerance for it.

When the summers get longer, hotter, inhospitable, and you see untold death from it, you will be wishing for the cold.
Malcolm_Morin@reddit
Hell yeah! I love my heccin 110°F heatwaves and heat strokes!
Fun_Journalist4199@reddit
You get it!

And spring barely exists. At least where I am. Went from freezing to like 70 in the span of 24 hours

The following submission statement was provided by /u/catsRawesome123:
Summary (from Gemini): Since 1990, midlatitude summers have lengthened by roughly one week per decade, characterized by a non-linear surge in accumulated heat and increasingly abrupt seasonal transitions. These shifts are occurring significantly faster than historical rates across land and oceans, posing major challenges for energy demand and biological heat adaptation.
Personal: Depressing, esp as someone living in the western US where we have one of the worst winters ever. I joke, but the reality is that there's only been like a single day of winter this year where I live (measured by snow storms) that I was truly able to enjoy the winter weather... followed by record heat waves melting off all the snow
