The global temperature trend goes downward until about 1917. If we used that as a start point, then the rise would be closer to +2C in ~110 years. Yeah ... agreed. And the period since 1917? it so vastly dwarfs the 1850 to 1917 interval, the period after is too gorgeously obvious (and probably damning implication) to ignore. The point there is that something ( to remain nameless...) enormous must not just be forcing, but doing so massively. In geological time framing ( no less...), to impose that much acceleration, changing of the previous (1850) dynamic state at a planetary scale - You know, I keep coming back to this notion that humanity isn't terrified by this because it's so huge they can't dimensionalize the monster - so to speak. It is not helping that as a species, we are too constrained to what threats we can readily see, hear, taste, touch, and smell. If it is not directly perceivable we seem to evade detection of what we don't want to acknowledge - duh. I don't know if the person you're talking to is doing this, per se...just sayn'. Human kind needs to see an actual fire wall coming over the horizon, else it's like being scared in a movie theater. It's ephemeral because the solution is to leave the theater. The horror story stops. No longer real. If a 'threat' doesn't appeal to the senses directly, the abstraction of it seems to land psychologically in a similar way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 July was a record for GISS 1.23 vs 1.20 in 2024. NOAA's July tied 2024. First of many monthly records over the next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In El Nino mode. 2026 started #5 in GISS in Jan and Feb, but reached #1 in July. August on track to easily top 2024. Can expect monthly records well into until 2027. The one exception is Sept, the "gobsmacking" warmth of 2023 will be tough to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
