I understand this is a misconception in terms if frogs. We are tslking here however about how humans understand and grasp cliamte change. In this context, it seems to be a more effective term than #ShiftingBaseLineSyndrome to describe the fact that himans are incapable of grapsing the extent of change as they are constantly getting used to a new normal. Even if frogs in reality jump out.
Nice and informative read!
#BruceSchneier and #BarathRaghavan on #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome and the decline of #privacy
Extremely high melt rates across the #Greenland ice sheet as visualised on @polarportal also illustrate #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome for #Glaciologists.
Even 10 years ago this would have been almost unprecedented, and 20 years ago virtually unthinkable.
Now it's just what happens in Greenland in July...
Attached: 3 images *extremely* high melt event ongoing in #Greenland right now. It's the peak of the melt season in July but even so this is a lot. Given the late heavy snowfalls this spring the total ice budget is still pretty average but in western Greenland the melt is burning through it fast... http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/

Yes, inevitable given current conditions but also pretty shocking that there are #Wildfires in #Scotland in #June. You do worry that this might become “normal” all too soon, and that we forget how things used to be (always changing of course but still). #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome #ClimateDiary #Daviot

Why do we accept these obscene levels of #Inequality in the #UK? #Foodbank demand soaring and soaring; families who only have £4 per week for #Food; better paid #NHS staff routinely bringing in food so that their colleagues can make it through the day. Meanwhile more #Billionaires and wealth at the top than ever. Yet all “normal” by now. We have #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome not just with #ClimateChange but also inequality

Bei uns war der April ungefähr so wie vor der Klimaerwärmung, also für das heutige Empfinden ziemlich kühl. Weltweit war es der viertwärmste April seit Messbeginn, ermittelt CopernicusECMWF https://climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-temperature-april-2023?utm_source=socialmedia&utm_medium=tw&utm_campaign=CBapril23
Are You Suffering From #ShiftingBaselineSyndrome?
"Our conservation and policy efforts are becoming less effective with each generation, while we become more satisfied with our diminishing actions because our targets are weaker in terms of biodiversity and habitat heterogeneity." #ccmindsets
