@ZLabe On a somewhat tangential note, this is a helpful visualization to track departures of the annual mean from the longer trend

@ZLabe
My planet is in this picture and I don't like it.

@ZLabe Having paved over significant areas around populated areas probably doesn’t help. Dark pavement doesn’t reflect solar energy: it absorbs it. And we push the snow off those areas in winter. Those paved areas continue to release heat in the evening after sunset, creating heat islands.

@ZLabe My family told me that summers now are much hotter than summers when they were children (1980).😞

@ZLabe and it's just accelerating, let's all go to Mars with Elon

@ZLabe really odd seeing a per decade annotation on a non-log scale plot. Terrifying data though

@ZLabe Isn't that related to the fact that ground heats faster than the same amount of water?

@ZLabe You’re right. We are a single terrestrial species living on a mostly water world dominated by huge numbers of other species.
