2023 Climate Spiral: An Unbelievable Year

Re: @ZLabe@fediscience.org
It was an unbelievable year for global climate.
As data is released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new climate change records. Apologies for all my graphs in advance!! 😬

I agree with you there. What I'm trying to say is that we, unfortunately, have to act in parallel to data gathering. Obviously this means we risk making bad choices, or making the data harder to read. That's our lot in life though. If we just sit still and gather data all our lives we'll get eaten by catastrophe.
I'm not saying we shouldn't address climate change right now. Not even sort of, I am very alarmed by what's happening, and what we already do know. The data gathering I'm talking about is for the science part, not for the action part.
We should be 330 million Americans in Washington DC right now (or wherever you live) demanding climate action right now. Unfortunately, that's just not going to happen.
