No surprises as usual - the last 6 months... Red shading: warmer than average temperatures Data from https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ @ZLabe it was an insanely warm winter here in Minnesota... Shocking to see it was similar all over the northern hemisphere 100 years of June temperature anomalies over land through 2023. It will get even hotter. Data from https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/. With global sea ice currently at *record low* levels, both poles (#Arctic and #Antarctic) are more than two standard deviations below average (1981-2010)... More visuals: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-figures/. Data from https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index. Top 5 warmest October global temperatures since at least 1891 - Japan Meteorological Agency (https://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/gwp/temp/oct_wld.html). Small differences in ranking are normal between data sets. 1. 2015 #Halloween (and October) is definitely my favorite time of year. When I am not making climate graphs, I am usually watching scary movies... So, despite it being a week late, I feel the need to also share my spooky graph with #Mastodon... 🎃 @ZLabe Like the plot, however a Fedi tip: posts about potentially distressing topics like climate change work better with a content warning. See https://fedi.tips/staying-safe-on-mastodon/#UsingContentWarnings for a longer discussion. Happy tooting 💚 |
@ZLabe I always find these charts annoying because they make zero sense to the average person.
@ZLabe we're still fucked, noted.
