The situation is summed up in an already viral video from Canal Sur, kindly shared by @ibonperez_tv: the weatherman shows a graph of Wednesday’s temperatures and despite the 45ºC in Seville and 44 in Granada announces with all the goosebumps 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 dying out “but it won’t be imminent”, to which the news anchor replies: “thank you, we’ll be more calm”.
Well, what they want, if Leonardo DiCaprio raised his head not to the sky, but to the thermometer, he would surely say like Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes: “You did it, I curse you!”.
Wednesday afternoon, Twitter burns, as always, but not because of the
One of the most shared tweets comes from @Zacarias7777777: a photo from an unidentified newspaper: “On July 30, 1876, Seville recorded 51 degrees and Madrid passed 44.” And a postulate: “Climate change is a scam”. It didn’t help that the Efe agency in its verification service denied it; the photograph of a commentator, also on television, reporting the 44ºC in Merida while wearing a jacket gave rise to anti-climatic trolling. There is nothing to do.
As they sang in the 60s, “no te quieres enterar, ye, ye”. And everyone to dance. The self-proclaimed Chica Tuitera confesses that every time they talk about the heat in a news program, she changes the channel, “paso de obviedades, ya vendréis luego a hablar del frio”. Yes, the one from Tomorrow, with the frozen planet if things turn around, a possibility in the unknown territory we are in.
And then, there are the jokes, another television error, which on a map attributed to Santander 132ºC, made another tweeter exclaim that she had just canceled her reservation in that city. So let’s look for a cave, which is where we’ll end up.
A few examples of climate in-laws are also missing: “I went out on the terrace to smoke and I didn’t need the lighter”, or “How do you fight the heat? Then I turn off the TV”.
We are almost waiting for extinction.
