And air conditioning is just adding to the problem, isn't it?

Not even close.

You should read the Soylent Green TL. That is a hell world.

EDIT: Although I would not be able to go outside for long in the UK. Summers are already way too hot for my taste as it is.

You got a link to that TL?

That map is straight up just this koppen climate 2071-2100 projection that has just been like, reprojected with minor coastline changes. (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Koppen-Geiger_Map_Europe_future.svg)

This is incorrect. There are quite a few differences in this map versus the one you posted. Notably in Poland, Czechia, the Carpathian Basin, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Kuban. Less noticeable are spots in Italy, the coastal Balkans, the Pyrenees, and the Alps. That map was indeed a helpful start, but it is hardly a carbon copy.

I know this project has a more global focus, but has there ever been a list of New England's Prime Minister's posted?

There has not! I do have it on my list of things to do...

And air conditioning is just adding to the problem, isn't it?

Absolutely it is, yeah

I just read the tl and, I.....um.....What

The film (and the book it's based on) is dystopic as heck. Anyway, enough derailing.

"Japanese state is terminating benefit payments" - what on Earth is going on here?

"Japanese state is terminating benefit payments" - what on Earth is going on here?

I guess the recession got so bad, they can't pay off unemployment without bankrupting the country.

"Japanese state is terminating benefit payments" - what on Earth is going on here?

Many thousands of people are going to either (A) become dependent on charity, (B) be forced into massive amounts of debt, including possibly predatory lending*, (C) turn to crime*, (D) become homeless, or (E) die as a result of this policy.



*I wouldn't be surprised if the yakuza will seek to benefit as a result of this

 

[Mike1990]

Yeah Yakuza essentially become the state for a large segment of Japanese society

 

[Glory2Cabinda]

Whats the state of antisemitism in this timeline?

[Spamavalanche]

Um, why Mexico sanctioned California?

 

[Couperin]

Um, why Mexico sanctioned California?

I believe it was over refugee policy towards Americans.

I live about a half hour from Mason. That was a surreal article to read.

These war updates hit differently in light of current events.
