GISTEMP Climate Spiral of DOOM (4K)

"The current warming trend is of particular significance because it is unequivocally the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over millennia.1 It is undeniable that human activities have warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land and that widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere have occurred."

Shown in video: The GISTEMP climate spiral 1880-2021. by Mark SubbaRao Released on March 7, 2022.
"The visualization presents monthly global temperature anomalies between the years 1880-2021. These temperatures are based on the GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP v4), an estimate of global surface temperature change. Anomalies are defined relative to a base period of 1951-1980. The data file used to create this visualization can be accessed here.

The Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) is a NASA laboratory managed by the Earth Sciences Division of the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The laboratory is affiliated with Columbia University’s Earth Institute and School of Engineering and Applied Science in New York.

The 'climate spiral' is a visualization designed by climate scientist Ed Hawkins from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, University of Reading. Climate spiral visualizations have been widely distributed, a version was even part of the opening ceremony of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics."

Future of U.S. Fossil Fuel-Fired Electricity:
"While the incoming Biden administration has already announced a goal of complete decarbonization of the U.S. energy sector by 2035, meeting the deadline would eliminate only 15% of fossil capacity-years and 20% of job-years, which is seen as unusually low from a global perspective. That’s according to the recent findings of Emily Grubert from Georgia Tech’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, which were made public in her article on Science Magazine. The thing is, she says, many U.S. fossil fuel plants are quite old, so “the target of decarbonization by 2035 would not require us to shut most of these plants down earlier than their typical lifespans.”

Emily Grubert also created an interactive map that shows the locations of fossil fuel-fired electricity generators along with their estimated lifespans. Move the time slider on the right to visualize conditions for a certain year, through 2035 and far beyond."

The ever widening gyre.
I just missed cater in wordle because I kept hearing cat in my head so thanks for that.
And the most maddening thing is that I switched opening from crate to rates, because hey I can always find a c! 🤬🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Also, within the last hour a 7.3 M earthquake struck off the coast of Fukushima.
