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.

Very fucking soon.
You ever watch disaster movies? They’re only 2-2.5hrs average.
Well, imagine this is a movie. The 100+ years of data we ignored was that “secret file” that was just discovered. The new high temps are the geeky science guy yelling “oh shit!”
Remember what happens right after that? Very, very quick collapse. Food disaster, heat disaster, weather events and oxygen decrease in our atmosphere.
We’ll either starve, boil, suffocate or kill each other trying to survive.
I think it’s within a couple years. Not decades that is typically reported.
Couple years. We won’t get off that easy. This is sloooowww slide 🛝 with road rash and rug burns. It’ll be bad, then get better, then get worse, then get better, and then…
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.
We’re all going to kill each other due to economic collapse and scarcity of resources long before anyone is being boiled alive.
So you are saying I can at least take comfort in a luke warm ocean as others attempt to kill me in the end of days?
Possibly. I think bad air/decreased oxygen will suffocate billions. Not much left to fight over.
Unless you renew your Premium Deluxe Air™ subscription. Oxygen As A Service.
Ha, I can’t afford it. Guess I’ll die blue.
Let’s start with the conservatives then. They are marbled and dumb, like cattle.
