This visual shows how climate change will affect generations

Our children will never experience a childhood as cool as ours. And our childhood wasn’t that cool.

That’s one of the stark realities underlined by the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Within that new report, a key graphic shows how the average global temperature has changed across generations — with each generation born into an ever-warmer world.

“What really inspired [that graphic] was showing the consequences of the choices and actions taken now in reducing [greenhouse gas] emissions for generations now and in the future, for our children,” said Christopher Trisos, a member of the core writing team for the synthesis report and helped with the graphic.

The graphic is centered around a popular visual called climate stripes that show global temperature increases with vertical colored lines. The climate stripes were created in 2018 by climate scientist Ed Hawkins, using inspiration from previous scientists and even a crochet pattern. While creating the new IPCC report, graphic designer Arlene Birt proposed a visual that, alongside the stripes, would depict temperature changes across generations.

The visual shows that a person born in 1950 entered the world when there was around 0.25 degrees of warming compared to the late 1800s, said Ruane. Today, a 70-year-old has experienced 0.85 degrees of warming in their lifetime so far, or around 0.12 degrees per decade, he said.

A person born in 1980 first experienced around 0.4 degrees Celsius of warming above preindustrial times, experiencing 0.75 degrees of warming in about 40 years to date.

For a person born in 2020, the extent of warming highly depends on society’s response.

This figure, a detail taken from Figure SPM. 1 in the AR6 Synthesis Report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, shows the observed and possible future average global temperature changes. The changes in global surface temperature are shown relative to 1850-1900. Very low shows a scenario where warming is limited to around 1.5 degrees Celsius; low shows warming limited to around 2 degrees; intermediate shows warming limited to around 3 degrees; high shows warming around 4 degrees; very high shows warming above 4 degrees.

This is so much crap. We've been loaded up with these types of predictions forever and they just keep moving the goalposts to make it fit.

Here's a blast from the past:

Just move a little further north. However, most people seem to be moving south. Hmmmm.

“This is so much crap. We’ve been loaded up with these types of predictions forever and they just keep moving the goalposts to make it fit.”

But it works. They’ve raised 2+ generations with no ability to think critically, ignorant, and easily scared. This kind of thing just has them cowering, begging for big government to save them.

It is officially Spring and where I live we have a two-feet deep snow pack.

I'm terrified of Global Warming. < /SARC>

Since the words and numbers don’t add up they are resorting to pictures. Great.

[Migraine]

I’m stunned. In order to be scientific, don’t the measurements need to be based on the same instruments being placed in the same locations going back to 1850?

It’s obvious that this isn’t the case. Assumptions or interpolations about conditions worldwide in 1850 can only give spurious results.

Anyway, what is the average global surface temperature SUPPOSED to be? What would be ideal? What would satisfy the scaremongering industry?

[rktman]

More mis/dis/mal-information being pumped where the sun don’t shine. And a “hole” lot of folks buying it. Dumb assert writ large. 😵

Hey, this is just evolution in action.

Evolution is science, don’t fight it.

That chart of progressive development of creatures looks like that germ to fish to frog to . . . to ape to human chart.

Can’t fight that science.

[dfwgator]

We are DEVO.

[Chode]

arrogant pukes thinking they’re smarter than people 50yrs from now and that technology is stagnant and won’t progress...

feh

Our children will never experience a childhood as cool as ours. And our childhood wasn’t that cool.

Our childhood was cooler than the children experienced at the top of the Medieval Warm Period (~700 years ago), and children in the Roman Warm Period (~1,700 years ago), and the children of the Minoan Warm Period (~3,100 years ago).

Our children will never experience a childhood as cool as ours.

That's ... debatable.

And our childhood wasn’t that cool.

Speak for yourself, puta!

During the last prolonged period of global warming, roughly 1040-1390, Greenland prospered. There was one farmer who kept 3000 dairy cows and more who kept hundreds of them.

How much dairy industry does Greenland have now?

How many global warming preachers are investing in prime grain growing land in Alberta or Siberia?

Comedy takes on many forms. Most are cloaked as news.

Looking forward to the Atlantic Ocean washing away beach houses of Obama, Brandon and Kerry.

Funny, that graphic parallels the evolving size of my plenipotentiary appendage over the entire time period.

This proves that this is all so much crap.

The cult still believes in warping the geological scale of time and the evolution of climate driven primarily by changes in the sun.

SAY THE WORDS “SOLAR MINIMUM “ and watch them reach for their holy water, garlic, and oaken stakes........THEY ARE NUTZO....just look at the farmers revolt against them in Holland where they have banned cow farts. The farmers are winning.

Ahh, the GIGO report !

For people who love to tout Darwin over God, they sure do have an issue with the adapt-or-die way of things.
