For the second time in recorded history, global sea surface temperatures hit six standard deviations above 1982-2011, on January 6 2024

It's important to remember we are doing it for glorious purpose:

From what the capitalists and their non-wealthy sycophants tell me, this is the only way, and we should stop complaining as they end the world to see who can get th highest ego score.

I know this isn't politics or nation state news, but it is deeply troubling for all of us who live on planet Earth. Six standard deviations is mind boggling.

Mods, please remove this if you feel it isn't news worthy. I know it breaks rule 1, but wanted to share.

I don't have a car and I'm separating my trash but it doesn't seem to do anything

These are rookie numbers, now make it to 10 sigmas. But seriously, the biggest problem is that global warming is happening very slowly (in human years) and we are kind of normalising it and concentrating on more pressing topics.

I guess our kids or grand kids will read in their history books about our ignorance and scratch their heads wondering how stupid we might have been to allow all this to happen. And they will be absolutely right of course.

We are more concerned about our well being and our consumerism while wanting bigger cars, bigger toys, share prices etc. instead of trying to lead a sustainable life.

Global sea temperature affects things like hurricane strength. Buckle up.

Hey, you know that tipping point that everyone was talking about? Yea I think we've passed that

There was a hank green video about this a year back. Video link here, the tldr was that container ships used to use a type of fuel that was both bad for the environment but also really good at cloud seeding. More clouds shielded the oceans surface from the sun, artificially reducing its temperature. But in 2020 regulations made container ships move to a fuel that didnt seed clouds as much, so fewer clouds, higher temperature.

So i guess one potential take away from that, if its right, is that the temperatures are not "suddenly" getting worse, but rather have been artificially depressed and we are only now going to what it should be.

Cool cool cool cool cool

He he, I’m in danger.

I kinda feel like we hit the point where its either our global production infrastructure or our species seeing this graph.

This is not a news article, it's a picture of a graph.

In the interest of discussion here, I'll leave it up this time.

Please report this to us earlier, or, if you think our rule about articles only is unfair, I would like to hear your thoughts on if this should be allowed in the future.

Fucking January 6th!

It's going to get fucking Venusian around here at this rate

HELP US

A lot of us want to make change but a lot of people are trying to stop it...

God, Gods, someone!

Recorded history = a period of 12 years in this case? The phrasing is confusing to me.

You idiots! You've applied the six sigma training backwards!

How can standard deviation be negative?

Fun fact you don't need the to specify "recorded" history. The term history already takes that into account. Prehistoric refers to things before records were kept.
