The situation is summarized in an already viral video from Canal Sur, kindly shared by @ibonperez_tv: the weatherman shows a graph of the temperatures on Wednesday and despite the 45ºC in Seville and 44ºC in Granada announces with all the pachorra that we don’t know If this episode of heat will be repeated, we can be sure that sooner or later we will end up becoming extinct, “but it will not be imminent”, to which the presenter of the newscast responds: “thank you, we are calmer”.
Well, what do they want, if Leonardo DiCaprio raised his head not to the sky, but to the thermometer, he would surely say like Charlton Heston in The Planet of the Apes: “You have done it, I curse you!”.
Wednesday afternoon, Twitter burns, as always, but not due to the effect of the
One of the most shared tweets is brought to us by @Zacarias7777777: a photograph from an unidentified newspaper: “On July 30, 1876, Seville registered 51 degrees and Madrid exceeded 44.” And a note: “Climate change is a scam.” It was useless that the Efe agency in its verification service denied it, the photograph of a commentator, also on television, reporting the 44ºC in Mérida while she was wearing a jacket gave rise to anticlimactic trolling. Anyway.
As they sang in the 60s, “you don’t want to find out, ye, ye”. And everyone to dance. The self-styled Twitter Girl confesses that every time a news program talks about heat, the channel changes, “I’m going to be obvious, you’ll come back later to talk about the cold.” Yes, the one from The Day After Tomorrow, with the frozen planet if the thing is turned, something possible in the unknown territory in which we are. And then there are the jokes; another television error, which on a map attributed 132ºC to Santander, made another tweeter exclaim that she had just canceled her reservation in that city. Well, we look for a cave, which is where we will end up.
A few examples of climatic cuñadismo in the networks: “I have gone out to the terrace to smoke and I have not needed the lighter”, or “how do you fight the heat? Well, me turning off the TV”.
We are almost wishing for extinction.
