From Prof. Eliot Jacobson:

Wow! Wow! Wow!

North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies are going vertical again. And yes, I needed to extend the y-axis.

Yesterday’s temperature of 24.49°C (76.08°F) was 4.2σ above the 1991-2020 mean. The previous high for July 17 was 23.71°C (74.68°F) in 2020.

      I don’t think so. We already had that. People just won’t acknowledge or recognize it. The cliché “end is nigh” coming right up.

        We’d be better off if it toppled in a week. Then we’d have purpose in rebuilding. I hope you’re right.

          Conservatives still wouldn’t allow us to act. We get to die like white Jesus intended. To conservatives, widespread death is all just part of the plan.
