This graph is the most damning. We’ve made zero progress according to the only metric that matters.Why does the graph begin at 1959?
When should it begin?
I believe that’s the NOAA data source and they started measuring this in the late 50’s. The direct measurement data doesn’t go further back because the technology to measure and or concern wasn’t there.
That said, people have been able to extrapolate past carbon ppm through means other than direct measurement.
So that’s why all the conservatives are laughing and cheering. I was wondering why they were celebrating. They are accomplishing their mission of killing us all.
Owning the libs will become the most common cause of death of conservatives.
“Them libs want to protest the climate issue? Well fuck em, let’s burn more oil and make more profit for those companies! That’ll show them snowflake protestors!”
This is literally the mindset we’re up against. They’ve been brainwashed so hard into “owning libs”, and have their tongues so far up billionaire’s arseholes, they have lost any sense of empathy, sympathy, and basic intelligence. We’re all fucked.
Part of the problem with being socially minded is that your representatives tend to be less inclined to abuse their power to disingenuously manipulate useful idiots. We’d rather educate them than manipulate them, but they’re too stupid to know the difference.
Also of everyone else.
Don’t worry, they’re gearing up for the “Climate change is real, but we just need to genocide more of the people with a <100kg/yr carbon footprint to fix it” chapter of dogshit rhetoric soon.
They’ll never say that in good faith because it’s the rich that have the biggest carbon footprints.
My point is they’ll (continue to) blame the people whose carbon footprints are <1% of theirs and would be manageable for centuries and advocate for genocide as a solution.
Currently blaming the global south is just used to deflect.
Killing everyone will kill more liberals than conservatives, so it’s a net positive for them!

See you next summer.
This will be the coolest summer you ever experience.
Nah, that will be 2027. After the current El Nino oscillation but before the 50 degree summers start.
Fun fact: All this probably happened because we stopped to geoengineer by outlawing ships blowing sulphur into the air which created additional cloud cover. That is, this year isn’t really exceptional climate-change wise, it’s just that we could witness, by fortuitous natural experiment, how much worse it actually already is… as well as that we can limit the impact by geoengineering. It works, and without wrecking havoc on the overall system.
And the good news is that we don’t need to blow sulphur into the air to generate clouds, the same effect can be had by blowing salt water into the air, just strap a couple of water cannons to every cargo ship. No I’m dead serious.

You have your causality running backwards… this was already here, and the sulfur was masking it. This happened because we put so many GHG in the air.
It works, and without wrecking havoc on the overall system.
Europe is the one that initiated the sulfur reductions. With the additional dimming data now available, they reviewed it to determine how much damage had been caused. The conclusion? The benefits of reducing sulfur actually outweigh the damage of unmasked warming. The plan for further reductions was upheld.
If we mask radiative forcing, we don’t want to be doing it with sulfur. That leads to acid rain, ocean acidification, and asthma and other diseases. CaCO3 is a candidate. The long-term consequences of any candidate is unknown. Except that we know that the less sulfur raining down on us and the fish in general, the better.

Which is what I said?
It was probably framing it like

Instead of something like “we noticed the effects of climate change exceptionally this year because we stopped blowing sulphur (…)”. Yes, this is probably pedantic in a room where everyone understands anthropocentric climate change. Still, I can understand why some people might want to be extremely clear with how we use language regarding this topic, given… Everything that’s going on.

Tldw: Hank Green video.
Thanks for this info. Really enjoyed learning something hopeful
It is totally terrifying but also very strange to read about the record heat everywhere while we here in Germany had probably the coldest July in a decade. We had 16C where we should have had 30C. And we had rain, a lot of rain.
Still, I’m terrified.
The world average temperature is up. Locally this puts more energy in weather
Taller storms, bigger hail, more cyclones/typhoons/hurricanes earlier and later in the season
Apparently the average is up in Germany, you just haven’t had any extremes this year.

I saw hail in fucking July in the Netherlands…
Also lots of rain of course.
Shit’s getting crazier and crazier.Removed by mod
Yeah July was basically November
Jup, my “Summer Vacation” is now over. Very pissed off about the weather
Yeah where I’m at in southwest Ohio in the US it has been one of the coolest, wettest summers also. So in order for the average to be the highest ever, other places had to be extra, extra hot.
… also the coolest 36 days of summer of the rest of our life
Some didn’t survive & that’s a problem.
lol git gud
Every day people dei, but hey, more were born so… That is how life works
Not a helpful sentiment

Phoenix just broke its record for consecutive days over 110° at 31, previous record was half that…
Cincinnati only had two days over 90 total all summer so far. I think we may get another day this week. Phoenix is getting all of our heat.

Oil barrons merely see global warming as yet another catastrophe to take advantage of for power and profit, they will have their companies pump oil til there’s not a single drop left to pump anywhere, using every excuse they can find to keep pumping and polluting while evading taxes and regulation as much as possible. They are evil scum and belong in jail for their lies and behavior.

Drug dealers are arguably pretty evil…but there is undeniably huge demand for the products. And getting rid of a dealer won’t solve addiction itself.
In Maui, some of us didn’t survive :(
43 ºC in my town today. Now we are at 32 ºC and is 23:00.
This is hell.
What do we win? I hope someone makes a movie about us.
the movie 2012 comes to mind for whatever reason lol
‘Don’ t look up’ it’s a depressing documentary dressed up as a dark comedy focusing on the incapacity of competence to sway the tide of general ignorance.
Next species would make plushies after us, like we did with dinosaurs. Cute little featherless bipeds. 2990-3000s would also see a cartoon where humans would sing about friendship, turning some kids into human-geeks.
Actually, some of us didnt
Yeap, every day people die
Again, you’re not being very helpful. Take your weird existential nihilism somewhere else, please
On sorry, I thought no people die when “the pmanet was not hot” lol
Meanwhile in germany: 13°C and endless rain.
Extremes getting more extreme.
