I guess so. But all I can see are extremely fuzzy images.[0] Anyone know why I might be seeing that? 0) https://keybase.pub/mirimir/flare.png
Yup, check your JS blocking and/or connection. I can confirm that the pictures in this article are both high-quality and simply beautiful (especially for those of us who love industrial porn).

As others have suggested, I suspect it is because javascript is disabled (I see the same images and I disable javascript). Websites that "need" javascript to display a 26 year old image format and/or text(!!!) can go pound sand.

I registered at MeWe. And ever since, I've been getting "Updates at MeWe" with just this: "Please view this email in an HTML compatible email client." Why they can't include plaintext of the actual update is beyond me. I emailed them about it, but never heard back. So I've written them off as clueless.

Do you have javascript disabled or a slow connection? That looks like a low res image to make the site load quicker before the higher quality (larger file size) images load.
So their code is just deranged.

Is that really practical though? I mean, it makes sense financially and in terms of how we usually do transition, but we’re frankly running out of time, and maybe we need to be radical rather than practical. I’m old, I’ve seen how we’ve ignored the warnings for the past 30 years. Worse yet, if you ask people on when sollutuons can be ready, they say 10-20 years, and we only have one decade left to stop our own destru…
The radicals fucked us all over by agitating against nuke power in the 70s. Free love and climate change, man.

I can find quite a few examples of both happening at the same time. For example, look at May 30.
I'm not seeing it. Temperature peaks at 37C, but humidity is only 57% when it happens. Humidity peaks at 94%, but temperature is only 29C when it happens.

I'm old too and I truly believe that we will continue to be here 10-20 years from now with roughly the same world we've always had.
Same world in most of the non-coastal parts of the West? Probably. Same world in a lot of low-lying or heat-sensitive third world countries? Probably not. It has been argued that Yemen is the first resource exhaustion war - the country has extremely limited water supplies. The West is going to have to look at the possibility of a lot of refugees in the future, with the option of taking them in or watching them die.
Being near the cost isn’t necessarily worse than being inland as the sea can help regulate the extreme temperatures. I live in a costal city which basically sits around 100meters above sea level, on a good foundation, so the higher amount of rainfall and increasing sea levels aren’t really a worry. I work in another city 40km in land. In the winter my work place can be absolutely frozen while my hometown sits around 0 degrees, and vice versa in the summer. We had a really bad heatwave this summer, but it was 5 degrees worse at my work place than my home.
But basically you’re only going to be fine if you live as far north as Canada or northern Germany.
You’re spot on about climate refugees though. Syria was/is a war about water control, and now Yemen is in the same boat.
The real worry isn’t that though. It’s all the methane gas locked in the permafrost. It might make the air unbreatheable to humans, and then the rest really won’t matter.

I don't think that it was Javascript per se . I do use NoScript, but I did "temporarily allow all this page". Twice. However, I do block WebRTC, and I didn't disable that. > Websites that "need" javascript to display a 26 year old image format and/or text(!!!) can go pound sand. I registered at MeWe.

Completely understand. The number of mails I have to pipe through w3m or lynx in order to read them has been steadily climbing, and it's obsurd.
