And you can still see a significant uptick in the US’s and China’s graph peaks despite the increased scale.

Nonono I didn’t hurt you! Please do’t tell mum! Look, if I stand waaaaaaay back here you can barely even see that your head is bleeding!

I hope the rich fucks you’re simping for let you into the Apocalypse bunker when the time comes, buddy. I mean, it’s a slim chance, most likely you’re going to have to deal with being a refugee and explaining to your starving kids why you helped this happen, but hey, there’s still the odd chance you could win getting to live out the rest of your days in a fancy hole in the ground.

Sorry i thought you didnt know. The title seems to have made it to the feed and the post is getting ratioed.

Oh well done, you added noise to a line going up!

and those nice wide +/- margins further doing some visual compression

I like how climate-change denying trolls in the replies are mainly advancing these two arguments:

  • Temperature hasn’t been rising over the 20th century, it’s only an artefact of changing thermometers
  • It used to be even warmer during the Roman Empire anyway

changing thermometers

It’s such a dumb argument because while it’s true that we have mostly gone over to digital thermometers, for ease of use, the old Mercury thermometers are still available and still work. Manufacturers verify digital thermometers against Mercury thermometers precisely so that a discrepancy like this doesn’t happen. Independent verification is very easy, just go on Amazon and order a Mercury thermometer, they’re not restricted technology.

@echodot @Amoeba_Girl are you assuming that any of them are arguing in good faith?

AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space on 27 Mar 2024 09:03 collapse

You’re assuming a world in which thermometer manufacturers and/or standards bodies validate new technologies against legacy ones for consistency, rather than one in which there’s a directive from the Illuminati lizard people prohibiting any such validation, in order to take free people’s giant SUVs and holiday flights away.

I forgot about the lizard people and their ability to control the vaporization point of liquids

Tbh the fact that the line still clearly goes up is fucking horrifying. Fml.

Yeah, but now it’s all squiggly and silly. How can you be horrified by that?

Most notably, he cropped the graph on the “ourworldindata” website - the annual average appears below all of those charts, and quite obviously line go up. I took his Sweden chart into excel and added a trend line just to make it all on one chart.
