I mean yeah but that's not what capitalist means, did you mean to put Oligarch class or corrupt owner class?

1: Live the night, close shutters the day
2: Reduce activity to the essential
3: Eat and drink fresh
4: Share the knowledge, so that others do the same

(Wait, is this a "How to be a zombie" checklist ?)

Global?? It seems to be confined to North America and Europe?

Thanks to Ukraine, there is a lot less oil industries, and their count will only become lower!

That's just what the media is reporting on. Actually some other regions are having even more extreme heat waves although it's not everywhere on earth, obviously.

The current strong El Niño that is forming is highly predictive of severe heat in many places across the world, although there are some exceptions. So we can expect this to continue, albeit the exact geographic extent will likely shift.

Three is the only one that might lessen the impact of future heat waves.

As it turns out, it's called global warming since it is affecting the whole world. Now that heat waves are becoming a large problem in NA and Europe, Western media (being based there) is more likely to cover that. But lots of places have already been experiencing greater storms, floods, etc. due to the increase in global temperatures. And from my own experience in Asia, it's really hot in the summer now, sometimes over 34 degrees (Celsius), far more than just a few years ago!

It's nothing to do with Western media, it's bad elsewhere too (over 50C in India last year and the rising sea levels are obliterating islands, for example) but it affects Europe the most.

3: Eat and drink flesh

or live in either poles of the globe.

Fresh human meat

I tried.

But my country said Nuclear is scary and that we should burn fossil fuels instead.

I see. A vanishingly small capitalist class? From where I am sitting , that "class" isn;t getting smaller, just more desperate as they are running out of ways to extraxt wealth from those who work, so the attempt become more and more egregious and obvious.

Hesitating on staying hydrated…

Nah, let the fossil fuels run. Hope gas goes up to $10/ gallon tho.

Or do whatever your told by screen shot... because ever other of them tells you what to do

I want the price of gas to be $35 dollars per gallon

I want the price of gas oil barrel to be $2028 dollars per barrel

Ok you win.

I get that, but right now there is no summer heatwave going on in South America, right? It’s winter after all?
