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.

          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.
