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.

Greenland ruins are quite well preserved because there was almost no wood to build anything, just lots of rocks and stonework.
Does he know all 3,000 dairy cows were owned by one guy? Probably not as it was more likely a communal barn. Dairy production was central to the economy. So central, in fact, that they didn't survive a cooling climate.
I, for one, welcome the coming NH warming and the resultant flowering plants.
Just used the snow blower [running on non-alcoholic pure gasoline] this morning to clear 2 in. of Gorebal Warning off the driveway and clear the County Snow Plow’s berm from same.
YMMV.
[The Romans had it good for NH weather.]
Exactly. They are careful to suggest that there was a time when things were better because someone might say let’s make America great again.
Translation: Things are really going to suck later on, and they suck now and have always sucked. But this will really be bad.
Indeed the smart refuse to grow legs for a reason they been keeping an eye on us.
Cue Jaws theme
The top of the Cape Range in Western Australia is 300m above sea level. The rock is composed of limestone and includes various species of corals and shells.
Climate change is real, continuous, and unrelated to people burning hydrocarbon fuels.
That’s not climate change.
Don’t be ignorant.
stop it already
No it’s not it’s a seasonal animated gif to normal people who get sarcasm but then there’s those who don’t..
Ignorance is believing climate change is man made and spending trillions will fix what is and has been a natural occurrence for billions of years.
According to the climate cultist seasonal changes are being affected by mans pollution to the climate.
Climate change was going on long before man and will be long after man is gone.
Thinking otherwise is ignorance.
Oh, please.
I could feel myself having knowledge and testosterone sucked out of me just looking at that goofy figure.
If you look at oxygen isotope ratios and temperature over 5 million years you’d see we are just off the top of a peak, on the down swing, that will average 2-4 degrees and occurs over about 50-75,000 years. At the very best we’d be lucky to inhibit that any. If the average temperature rose 2-3 degrees it would be in the range where the Sahara desert was grassland, and torrid desert to the east was similar or treed savannah.
