In a few months, in a few years, not long after Israel finishes razing Gaza and killing off the last Palestinian, the world will come to a consensus that Israel committed genocide, murdered an entire people, and that the world stood there and watched, when not actively helping.

Much like Srebrenica or Rwanda, there will eventually be inquiries and documentaries, showing how much Western countries knew and supported that genocide: US, UK, Germany, France…

A striking visualisation of #climatechange: the date of Kyoto cherry blossoms' reaching full bloom, plotted over the past 1000 years.

Thanks to the cultural significance of cherry blossoms in Japan, we have data on the specific day of the year when a very particular species of cherry blossom (P. jamasakura) reached "full-flowering" (満開) in a specific area on the outskirts of Kyoto (Arashiyama), all the way back to 800 AD.

The trend of the past 50 years is hard to miss…

Plot of full-flowering date of cherry blossoms in Arashiyama, Kyoto, from 1000 AD to 2023. Plot shows days oscillating around the 105th day, from 1000 to 1900, then starts to decrease consistently and increasingly fast after 1900

Most of the data was painstakingly collected and analysed by Prof. Aono and his collaborators: atmenv.envi.osakafu-u.ac.jp/ao

The full-bloom date for 2023 (yesterday: the 29th), was confirmed by local resident and friend, Aya. (bc the data refers to a very specific species and location, they do not match official JMA reports)
