Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
the 10 hottest yearly average temperatures have occurred in the past decade.
better wording of this would be the 10 hottest years recorded are the last 10. Soon to be 11.
I'm not sure that heat clusters over 65 years means the clusters will stay the same in the future. Going back 65 years, obfuscates the global warming acceleration that occurred since 1980, and perhaps 1998 or 2010 or 2015. At any rate, clusters would develop from a completely random process.
So we've entered the terrifying undefined behavior era
The find out stage.
My C++ programming teacher warned me about this.
undefined behavior
Unfortunately it appears that we are far past compile time checks at this point.
mmmm... just like food in a microwave.
I feel like the big one in western Australia is pretty easily explained .. that's a big ole desert and we are moving in to summer ..
Not sure how serious this comment is but these are anomalies against expected behaviour from models. These models include historical data with the addition of how we expect the changes we are making to impact it with the best knowledge we have of how the systems work.
So its not saying its surprising that Australia is hot this time of year it's saying it markedly hotter than we expect or can explain using everything we understand about the climate.
