Took me more than a minute to realize that only 4 months of this year hold the record. Well, let's wait for 2030

Edit: nope. Last 12 months indeed beat the records consequently . We'll all soon die. The only good thing I can see from this graph is that the shift is even, meaning the seasons are still predictable.

What month of 2024 dosen't hold the record?

[โ€“] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Probably the ones that haven't happened yet.

Dumb libruls think global warming is real, when 6 months out of 2024 are not ~~yet~~ breaking temperature records! Half the year is not even hotter!

~~April, March and Feb~~

Haha we're doomed

The most recent months are the records, are they not? Yeah December 2024 doesn't hold the record yet but it hasn't happened yet. The most recent 12 months were the hottest

Looks like you're right

Visualization looks misleading then

Top right corner: "the most recent 12 months are highlighted"

We will probably be underwater in 2030.

I think that I should become a captain in a supertanker...

It's not going to get that deep, or do so that fast.

I am thinking about buying some beachfront property near the Fall Line for my descendants to inherit, though.

Visit a body modification shop and ask for some gills.

Become an aquaman and invest into real estate

Fortunately it will take more than 6 years for coastal cities to start flooding that much. By the end of the century it is forecasted to go up by less than 2 meter worst case. In 2000 years it could rise as much as 20 years if the temperatures rise 5ยฐC.

Additionally it is much easier to just move to higher ground.

Yeah, because rebuilding most of the world's major cities all at once is no big deal at all.

[โ€“] lauha@lemmy.one 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Much smaller deal than staying and letting them flood.

[โ€“] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Much, much bigger deal than not letting the Earth warm enough to flood them in the first place.

As if corporations are going to do that, haha
