His data suggests that the rate of rise in ocean temperatures can not possibly be due to man made circumstances and is instead due to earth core leakage.

#13It is not just record, it is well above all the previous records, including some strong El Niño years (that didn’t started yet).

#14At least renewable energy generation is still following a nice exponential growth curve. It's too slow to prevent dire climate change, but it might be fast enough to prevent complete collapse of technological civilization.

#15What does 2σ mean here? Is that referring to a normal distribution with the given mean, i.e. if temperature were following a normal distribution with a mean like from 1982-2011, then 95% of the temperatures would fall into the 2σ range?

Yes, that’s my understanding.

Clearly the lizard people from Earth's hollow core are responsible.

#18It's certainly a strange time to be alive. I was explaining to my child my work in AI, showing him images of himself as a character from his DnD campaign and at the same time am gently introducing him to the increasingly dire state of our climate. For parents of my generation "the talk" is not about sex, it's about the reality that we might not have a future to offer our children. It feels like I am very literally li…
"it's about the reality that we might not have a future to offer our children." But wasn't that always the case? War was always around the corner and nuclear missile threat amplified it. Btw. it seems the war made russia change its stance and some official "scientific" commitee has decided, that climate warming comes simply from radiation inside earth that follows a natural pattern. So no need to not burn coal then.…
The need to not burn coal goes beyond CO2, the particulates and radiation coal plants put out is terrible for health.
Coal has, and continues, to cause more deaths then nuclear ever has and produces radioactive ash while at it.

> War was always around the corner and nuclear missile threat amplified it.
All sides showed remarkable restraint in actually following up on the threats. While the possibility of nuclear war was part of the backdrop, at least the impression was made that everybody tries to be as reasonable as possible to prevent it from happening.
Compare to climate change where people actively try to sabotage stuff like renewables build out (e.g. "In 2019, the state tried to further penalize solar users by implementing a law that levied fines against solar users." [0] which was struck down eventually - but still, people considered that a good enough idea to propose, successfully vote and implement that?!?) to stick it to The Man (or something).

Probably something like this but the red bits are "bigger and there's more of them": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06083-8/figures/3
