I don't get the intricacies of the current 1.5C-debate, nor do I understand all your elaborations. But you made me chuckle several times. Again. Thank you!

I might add necessary-or not hair-splitting of some-or-no use. While I don't doubt your experience with live swans, swan song, Schwanengesang, is not one by the generally healthy birds,
which I don't doubt you did encounter in your life,
but the very last song by a dying one that maybe or maybe not is of remarkable beauty.

Maybe the ancient Greeks who first mentioned this http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0003:card=1444 ,
were so surprised how healthy swans have such disturbing voices but in their last moments, suddenly sing with ethereal beauty, that they found it a fact worth coining the German expression for...

Haha, came across an old blogpost by John Kennedy aka @micefearboggis
https://diagrammonkey.wordpress.com/2023/10/08/a-multitude-of-possibly-unsatisfying-answers/
First published early October 2023 it looks for explanations for the mind-boggling "bananas" global temperatures in last year's Northern Hemisphere summer.
I had already read a lot of other musings in this regard so didn't read John's main post (sorry) but jumped right to this part:

" PS (added 9 October) "
From that point on until January 9, John adds a post scriptum for each of the many attempts by other researchers at conclusively explaining 2023.
I had read most of them when they had come out, and so did you, I assume – so information isn't the reason why I wanted to share John's post with you.

The reason is his voice, his rhetoric, his dry humour.
It's a form of #climateArt , I guess. Or #ClimateComedy even? #ClimateSatire ?
In any case, it's a voice that was missing from my #ClimateSoundscape . So glad I found it now.
A fun read about why we don't know why 2023 was weird.

A multitude of possibly unsatisfying answers

This year, 2023, global average temperature has done some unexpected things. Naturally, people want to know why and, also naturally, a certain group of people wants to tell them. The first definiti…

I understand why famous standup comedians & pop "stars" don't take a proactive stance on #ClimateChange

They're always flying to different venues & #ClimateComedy is for a niche audience (the solutions aren't "mainstream")

But, the aviation industry's carbon offsetting schemes are a #Joke

Planet: Critical

I was talking to a friend about how difficult it is to meet honest people. I said "when l talk to adults about the harmful activities that they do they just get angry, or make believe that it's OK, or lie that they care but keep doing that thing anyway"

I swear to God or may the adult's actions cause hell on Earth, this is what my friend said "I'm 6! My mummy said when l'm at school if other children are bad l should tell grownups"

Oh! 🤗 How sweet & gullible

l was to talking to a local resident about how #GlobalHeating was causing the shrinking of his ice habitat, & that people have the idea of spraying aerosols in the atmosphere to try & cool down the Polar regions cos there warming the fastest. l swear to God that he looked me straight in the eyes & said "that's crazy!". I said "do you mean using CO2 polluting Jets to spray aerosols is crazy?". He said " No! That you are talking to a Polar bear!"
