Tomorrow - 21st June - is #ShowYourStripes day!
We encourage everyone to share their 'warming stripes' - simple visuals that represent observed changes in temperature - and start a climate conversation with friends, family, colleagues or anyone else!
These graphics can be used in many different ways to start those climate conversations and we would love to see examples of everyone using them.
You can download the warming stripes for your country, region or even city.
@ed_hawkins Should we be concerned?
(Temperature change in Europe, 1971-2000).

Da jeg var barn, frøs havet ved vores sommerhus på Sydfyn nogle gange til is, så vi kunne gå langt ud på vandet. Det kommer aldrig til at ske igen.
I don't see the value in reminding myself about horrible things I can't do anything about.
I already
* don't plan to have children
* don't eat meat
* drive a small vehicle
* vowed to switch to an EV when it becomes possible for me
Everyone already knows, wishes something could be done, doesn't care, or will always deny that it is happening.
Stressing people out without offering practical things to do doesn't accomplish anything except sell more big pharma for anxiety or depression.
@beforewisdom I grew up in a family of climate deniers. Hearing about it from others is what opened my eyes.
I'm sorry it stresses you out. Maybe you should add a content filter. But that doesn't mean it does no good for the rest of us to talk about it. And once we are properly motivated, we are far more likely to find practical things to do, as you already have.
@ed_hawkins It might be useful to have a watermark (Maybe 2 lines: First line tells you place second line has: "source: ShowYourStripes.info")
I'd put it bottom left.
In case people are not clear on what this is.
I wish the image showed the source: https://www.ShowYourStripes.info
I study environmental science, and I tell everyone I know what's going on, but for me I find it useful to show the global average and then average of where we live to help highlight that while on a global average we have hit 1.5c some areas mainly in higher latitudes the rate of change is much higher.
These strike me as having the potential to induce a photic seizure, I'd like to suggest that they behind a sensitive media filter.
@ed_hawkins I want this on a t-shirt for everyone to see when I'm walking on the streets.
