@traceva a reading of 1400 means you need to open some windows
this graph is interesting - it's the buildup of heat in the ocean in zettajoules.
what is a zetajoule (ZJ)?
- Human annual world energy consumption is only half a ZJ
- The energy to warm the Earth's atmosphere by 1°C is approximately 2.2 ZJ.
Since the 80's the ocean has absorbed around 220 zettajoules - enough to heat the atmosphere by 100°C if it wasn't otherwise absorbed by the ocean

@CreativeSuggestions the nuclear risk is low - people can feel safe.
I agree that countries should look out for each other to achieve and preserve democracy
Warming up to Mastodon - so far it's good and improving. Also, good luck to everyone in the US on the midterms!
Also, I do AI art sometimes, and am into #climate
this feels like a safer space
Peter GleickFor context, this is one of my favorite climate graphs, showing 800,000 years of atmospheric CO2, including the massive run-up over the past century. We're now around 420 parts per million (ppm), more than anytime in 800,000 years (actually more than anytime in the past 5 million years) and completely outside the natural ups and downs in the record. This is the driver of the current #climate crisis.
