flexghost.NASA’s climate crisis visualization is a reality check
The planet is getting hotter. Fast.
Hot Dog Water, Zero FuxThose WWII years really jacked this shit up a few quickly.

The jumps at each conflict point and the next several years, each time.
WWI gave a slight bulge then a rest. But after that there was no going back.

lj·rk@GGMcBG @flexghost War always sparks technological innovation as well... or something like that /s
Esslar2@flexghost I have no idea what to do about this.
@flyhigh stop flying your private jet halfway across the world to go see Travis Kelce play!
Dieu@flexghost @flyhigh Is it really that easy, doing something?
Nullstring 🏴☠️@flexghost @hllizi @flyhigh its really as easy as enough people doing something that no individual hesitates to act for the assurance of knowing others will carry on in their stead if they fall or are captured.
we don't have this though.
Arthur van der Harg@hllizi @flexghost @flyhigh Ah, grasshopper, it is not the doing of something that is hard, but the not doing of something. Doing something is finite, not doing something takes forever.
jer@flexghost scariest ring since that one that you see and then die seven days later
Steve DavidianI'm pleasantly surprised they are still publishing this. Thanks Flex.

Inorganic Fella@flexghost Yup. I remember 1988 being the year things got crazy hot compared to previous years and then weather slowly creeped up warmer until now the town I grew up in barely has winter.

@kolya No joke I’m obsessed with that era especially the fashion
@flexghost my fascination started when I had that one cool lecturer at uni who gave us "Flappers and Philosophers" by F. Scott Fitzgerald to read
thriftwicker@flexghost Wow. That increase from WW2 is impressive. From the look of it it seems the world has been going in the wrong direction since the Reagan / Thatcher era. Hooduhthunkit?!
Toni Aittoniemi@flexghost And rich people think they can just ride it out by hollowing out democracy, make people turn tribal out of desperation, and have them fight each other instead of them.
I’m pretty sure they think they have it all figured out.
@gimulnautti I’m planning on living in a sky utopia hovering above the poors. I’ll observe you from a powerful telescope so I can select whose organs I want to harvest.
@flexghost Blomkamp’s Elysium probably was pretty accurate. I hope we have the ’happy ending’ too though. (Not that it was nothing more than a glimmer of hope)
kralcttam ☕️@flexghost So me, growing up in the 80's had about the same climate as my dad, growing up in the 50's. But my kids don't.
@kralcttam Make sure to laugh at them before saying “sorry my bad”
@flexghost That's so cold it'd cool a GPU in a Parisian data center.
xs4me2It is obvious, visible and now it is noticable...
Nazo@flexghost Fast indeed. The thing I don't get about this is I never needed a visualization because I've seen it happening just in my own lifetime. And I just wonder, do the older people who are in charge pretty much everywhere not have functioning memories that they can actually deny this is going on? They should remember *further* back than me and will have seen even more extreme changes... I mean, we're talking "I walked home in the snow" to "what is snow?" level stuff...
MattChippytea@nazokiyoubinbou @flexghost anytime I end up in some sort of conversation with anyone questioning things my go to is “it used to snow”.
@Wifiwits @flexghost I know, right?
For me the big one was a Christmas we had once where there was major weather and it was really hot. (Like 28C or something, I forget. Northern hemisphere, obviously.) We were driving home and rain just came pouring down so hard I legitimately was scared the person driving would go off the road.
Once upon a time we had snow during that sort of time of year, not heat and deadly storms.
They lived longer than I have, so how can they deny their own memories?
@nazokiyoubinbou Hang on I can’t hear you over me emptying this aerosol can into my Pompadour
Hi_Im_ken@flexghost temps are 25 years ahead of schedule
Moriel 🏳️⚧️May i suggest everyone do what i just did and take advantage of the download buttons on those videos? It can't be long before Trump and his toadies have this removed from the web server.

Matt@flexghost Always temper the bad news with the good. https://theconversation.com/scientists-have-scrapped-the-worst-case-climate-scenario-because-action-is-making-a-difference-283675 People need hope, they need to see that change is possible.

annaf@KarlHeinzHasliP @mattw @flexghost point taken but it shows that it’s not a phenomenon completely outside our control. Sometimes I still wonder about that, so this is a chink of light for me.
There’s no logical reason to give up and not to try either way.
klausfiend@flexghost This is an ominous and unambiguous visualization. Not to sound cynical about it, but how long until the idiot President demands the arrest and imprisonment of its creators?

MarjorieR@dianea @flexghost and, in the UK, Margaret Thatcher. "There is no thing as society". Just individual greed.
Michael Hartle@flexghost "What is a non-linear, runaway effect?"
Bob Ramsey@flexghost Recorded temps really took off after 1980. I blame Reagan, as I do for every shitty thing that happened since his first term.
Petr Skála@flexghost 👍 ❗ ❗ ❗
Jeffandthekid@flexghost What good is a reality check wnen the U.S. has been transformed into a Fantasyland and free for all for theives like the Trumps and nut cases like Kennedy?

Cinq@flexghost this is data visualisation at its best
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)I disagree because, once again, it’s showing average temperatures, which are highly misleading for the perceived effect. A lot of the problem in communication around global warming comes from this. A two degree increase sounds completely fine to most people. In most of Europe, the temperature variation between seasons is over twenty degrees so an increase of 10% of that is completely irrelevant. Slightly milder winters, slightly warmer summers? Nice.
But that isn’t what’s happening. Although the average global temperature is slightly higher, that isn’t uniformly distributed. This week we’re seeing temperatures ten degrees hotter than 20 years ago. We see more extreme weather events.
If you want to convey this to people, show those things. Plot peak summer temperature in Europe, or the temperature on the tenth hottest day. Those graphs are terrifying.
Don’t talk about the one degree increase, talk about the total amount of extra energy in the atmosphere. Use nuclear bomb detonations as the unit. And point out that this energy is going to fuel hurricanes, tornadoes, and other energetic atmospheric phenomena.
JackPearse@david_chisnall @cinq @flexghost Use this comparison.
At 37°C body temperature you are healthy.
At 38°C body temperature you are officially sick with fever.
At 40°C you have to pull down your body temperature to survive.
At 42°C proteins start denaturation. Which is the temperature when eggs become white
At 43°C you and all animals die if you don't cool yourself. You literally get fried.
**The difference between healthy and sick is 1-2°C.**
@david_chisnall @flexghost makes sense. How could we adapt their data visualisation to account for that?
With the same data, you could change the scale to show something like 'hurricane's worth of excess energy in the atmosphere, or similar. Or plot the hottest summer day in, say, France each month.
GondorHas anyone compared this with an actual explosion of a bomb?
Because that is actually what we have ignited by burning the over millions of years amassed energy in a *very* short time.
It is just "blowing up" right now.
