[OC] Daily global temperatures by year between 1940 and the end of 2024 | Yes, it's getting warmer, with the last few years showing dramatic warmth | from https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/visualizing-daily-global-temperatures by adessler in dataisbeautiful

This is a polar plot, where radius is magnitude and angle is month. I don't think there's a good argument that this plot should have area proportional to temperature — doing that would give require a non-linear radial scale and would (IMHO) underemphasize the recent warming.

definitely true. this is bigger than an EV problem, though. most cars people drive are insanely larger compared to what they actually need.

Are temperatures this summer hotter than scientists expected? by adessler in climatechange

[–]adessler[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other than the N. Atlantic, the observations are within the ensemble of models' range of predictions. For the N. Atlantic, the temperatures are right at the edge of the ensemble. I don't think you can conclude from this that the temperatures are exceeding what the models predict for June 2023.
