temperature timeline

Damn, idk who to trust for information now if not wikixkcdia

What should I search for if I want to read up more on this? I hadn’t heard of these recent developments.

Because think of the the FREE ICE! The ice economy would boom! Think of all the new ice jobs!

Depends on your app then, because the browser does

Strictly a mobile user, but on Boost the thumbnails are better than browser.

I assume you use a card view instead of list view. In list view every picture is shown as thumbnail. Even if there were no pictures this long you have to scroll way more in card view than in list view.

Not much different, we aren't very far ahead. The trajectory remains more or less the same. Global anomaly was 1.2°C in 2023.

It absolutely will not. It's become abundantly clear that any sort of actually meaningful climate action will simply not happen in the current system, which is focused on profit at all costs and run by literal psychopaths. We'll continue seeing cosmetic consumer-facing restrictions like the ban on plastic straws that ultimately are nearly pointless in the grand scheme of things – the real polluters are corporations and people that are much too rich (ie. powerful) for their contribution to this climate clusterfuck to be meaningfully regulated.

For actual change that's not just tiny incremental and ineffectual bullshit that mainly places the blame on consumers, we'd have to redo our entire economic system and that's not going to happen without a lot of bloodshed.

It did for me the first time I saw it (ages ago).

And I read somewhere that current ocean temps are more indicative of +3℃ of warming.

Like, most politicians are still f**king around like +1.5℃ is still decades off. We’ve already passed that point by most any reasonable, rational, and non-politically-farked standard.

Ice that was on land will raise the sea level if it melts.

A largely organizational issue, we currently throw out at least 30% of all our food, not to mention we already consume way more than healthy by any metric and we still have much more on the planet to exploit. We live in an unprecedented time of access and yet all 3 super powers are hellbent on preserving poverty like it's their cultural heritage or something. There's absolutely no rational reason Africa shouldn't be among the most prosperous regions, just like there's no rational reason that at least 20% of Russians don't even have running water, let alone warm or drinking water or that America as the richest of em all, still can't provide the most basic needs for its citizens like almost every other country. Nearly all famines and insecurities with few exceptions around the world are 100% man made.

Arctic sea ice has been consistently shrinking since at least 1980. So have the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. The East Antarctic ice sheet has by contrast been constantly growing since records began, which is probably where you got your factoid from. But this is due to local phenomena, such as the Antarctic ozone hole, increasing westerly wind strength and increasing snowfall. East Antarctica is one of the few regions which seems to have escaped the effects of climate change (so far).

There's almost no doubt that the world is warming overall due to human activity. The fossil fuel industry doesn't like this, so they put out propaganda to counter facts. Do your own research :).

IKR? If only we had some way of capturing photographic evidence from satellites and aerial photography that would let us map the advance and retreat of glaciers around the world. That would be really useful technology in ensuring that facts could be used when discussing this important issue.

Oh well, I guess it's too technical to ask for such things after all. Maybe Elon Musk can do something about it in the next decade.

Thanks for the laugh! The idiocy you've put on display here is just chef's kiss

Consecutive hottest years on record
Increases in wildfires and hurricanes
Accelerating sea level rise
Persistent droughts

But it's 'doomsday bullshit' because checks notes some ice in Antarctica got thicker. Got it.

I don't even see how it's doomsday stuff, we just gotta live better. Lower meat consumption, more renewable energy, less car-focused living, more sustainable construction and consumption. It's entirely within our ability to prevent the worst case outcomes. It's only giving up and pretending we have no power that would make it a 'doomsday' scenario.

Source or StFU.

Where's the /s? I don't know what to do with this comment.. Haalp

Wow I really thought this was /s

Get a life, troll

Wowee just clicked on your profile for a quick check and someone took a wrong turn on their way to gab. Yikes.

Lol
