Seems good

ecoterrorism please come back we need you

We need to trick the climate in to either claiming they have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, or else demand that Assad be removed.
- "ICE must be destroyed"
  monkey's paw curls
  
  Hahhaha.

i mean it's the beginning of feburary and winter is basically over where i'm at.
actual "winter" seems to last about 2-3 weeks.
shit's about to get scary i'm really worried about massive crop failures. get to know your neighbors and learn how to do some (at least) minimal gardening.
- Yea we used to average 180" of snow in a winter and it would regularly be below zero for a week straight.
  We used to ice fish over 100 feet of water on lakes the shallow bays didn't ice over once this year.
  We got like 2 inches of snow the day before Christmas and it's supposed to be 47 next week.
  I almost kind of understand the impotent rage liberals feel when they try to get us to vote for Biden because it's how I've felt trying to get anybody (particularly those previously mentioned liberals) to give a shit about this for the last 15 years.
  And the best I've gotten was them lecturing me that Biden is the most environmental president everr as he authorizes literally previously unconcieved levels of fossil fuel extraction, and every chud in town scoffing at global warming anytime it snows more than 2 inches.
  
  Losing winter makes me want to cry.
  
  Yeah. We're at about 45% of average snowpack for this year where I am.
- Yea, where I am we've gotten almost no snow and aside from a week of -40 it's been hovering right around freezing, so everything just gets nice and icy. I love walking when it's snowing so I made a conscious decision to go for a walk when it was snowing because I don't know when I'll get the chance again. It's February and I can't see any snow aside from a few patches clinging to the north sides of buildings.
  Summer is going to be an unprecedented fire season that makes last year look like a backyard campfire. That cold snap without a nice think snow layer is bound to have killed a bunch of trees and the dry, hot summer is going to turn entire forests into kindling.
  
  I'm hoping the one coldsnap where I live is enough to knock back the pine beetles for a bit. Having 100 degree temperature changes over the course of maybe 2 weeks does not make me feel good.

Each new year is just going to be worse than the last one, isn't it?
We really have to start making excuses for the lack of terror at this point.

Lmao the last time I went looking for this chart was around August, I didn't expect it to still be so bad. We're going to be experiencing unprecedented oceanic ecosystem collapse if this continues and that's just the tip of the iceberg (proverbial of course, since there won't be icebergs around for much longer)
- Yeah, we were all expecting this year to be substantially warmer than 2022-2023 because of ENSO, but this is significantly worse than most of the models predicted. That seems to be turning into a trend. Our current 365 day running average for air temperature is 1.51 degrees C above the pre-industrial baseline, which most models thought we wouldn't pass for another ~10 years. Not good.
  
  Its really frustrating that scientists have been as un-alarmist and conservative as possible with their estimates and all their models to avoid being written off as unserious and a bunch of people who don't understand that science really trys to avoid definitive statements have used that to simultaneously argue it won't be that bad and they're a bunch of crazy alarmists.

if it isn't
now, then when?

imagine one day a storm blows in and then just keeps blowing for decades without stopping

kinda sucks that we'll never have predictable weather trends again

hurricane season 2024 I'm praying for you to send me into 4 weeks of power outages and sweltering heat so I may finally descend off this mortal coil in a fun way

Anything that happens to those in power is justified.

Looking like it's about time to set up a blue ocean event pool

This doesn’t concern me in the slightest
- It's probably fine!
  
  Doomer mindset which is anti revolutionary liberal behavior
- We should probably be concerned, but direct that into organizing instead of doomerism.

“Yay for early spring” amiright?
- The polar ice caps will melt because a groundhog saw it's shadow

:internally-screaming:

When we're all gone at last then there'll be nobody here but death and his days will be numbered too. He'll be out in the road there with nothing to do and nobody to do it too. He'll say where did everybody go. And that's how it will be. What's wrong with that?

wheeeeeeeeeeeee

Does anyone know why is it so much higher when compared to 2023
- It's a strong El Niño year, which is associated with / defined as a high sea surface temperature anomaly in part of the tropics. Also everything is just getting worse.
- Cus things were bad and were already up against an unnaturally warm yeat and to counteract it we drilled more oil than any other nation at any time in the history of the world.
- in addition to the other things people said apparently the shipping industry has cut back on sulfur dioxide that reflects sunlight back to space.
  
  Combat the warming effects of greenhouse gases by releasing toxic pollutants to cool the atmosphere. What a wonderful quandary humanity has forced itself into.

Anyone know if any scientists have commented on this?
- It's been noticed for sure.

Oh whoops we turned off the sulfur dioxide machine and now nothing is counterbalancing the carbon dioxide
- Don't worry: we're already talking about turning that back on rather than actually dealing with the problem.

Summer 2023 here in the Northeast US was suuper mild. Why was that? (not denying global warming)
Usually for the past 5 years our summers regularly go into the low 90s F but this time the highs were barely 80. Also a lot of my crops just didn't fruit. It almost feels like they could actually be spraying something but idk
- Weather patterns are variable and sometimes what is important isn't necessarily just the peaks and troughs but the averages. For example, we were hitting or surpassing record highs in the Southeast June through August but the rest of the year had significantly higher rainfall and importantly, average temperatures were also above normal.
  
  Yeah I remember the Florida deathbake
  our winter 2023 in the Northeast was super warm, and the summer was super cool. it was really weird. This past 2 months it's basically been 50s and 40s
  
  the Southeast June through August but the rest of the year had significantly higher rainfall
  Can confirm, Florida winter is usually pretty dry and this has been the rainiest winter I can remember. Multiple times it rained for several days on end, which is very weird for here.
- Most of it is probably just normal statistical variation, but a low/moderate ENSO index (which we had over this summer) is actually associated with somewhat lower average summer temperatures in most of the United States. The North Atlantic Oscillation, which is a similar quasi-periodic cycle in (shockingly) the North Atlantic, also tends to cause somewhat lower temperatures on the East Coast when it is in its negative index phase, which (again) it was over this summer. Both these influences are dominated by inter-annual variability on smaller scales, though.

~~What's the source on this?~~ Primary source here. Weird that it credits an Eliot Jacobson tweet but he hasn't posted on X since July 11th of last year.
- The subtitle of the graph is a link to climatereanalyzer.org
  
  Thank you! This site is great. The fact that the source link is to a json file is not that helpful, but it's easy to find the same graph from the root level domain.
- I did get it from Jacobson. Maybe we're looking at different accounts, but he tweets all the time on the one I'm familiar with. Here's the link.

So Kodiak is going to be the new Honolulu is basically what I'm getting from this.
