Nothing we don’t already know, but the perspective is useful.

“Climate breakdown has begun,” declared UN Secretary-General António Guterres. Guterres is not a climate expert himself, but in this case, he’s basing his opinion on the data and analyses generated by the actual experts.

And then there’s this:

By the end of this month, everybody alive who’s never experienced a month with temperatures below the 1951–1980 average will have experienced their 31st birthday.

31 years straight of “above average.” Statistics was not my strongest course, but this seems wrong.

Thank you for continuing to post these charts. However :weary: it’s starting to take me back… to watching charts with trepidation in early '20 as Covid was ramping up. Knowing something big was about to happen, but no clue how it would actually play out. Looking around at everyone going about their daily business, “well if the problem gets that bad the government will step in.” :weary:
