I like to imagine a world where people care as much about the North Atlantic Ocean, as about a small vessel lost inside of it. Image
Here's a 8567 pixel #ShowYourStripes from the North Atlantic Ocean since 2000.

June 20 pales the warming from recent years: Image
Also see the Ocean Heat Content stripes.

Because about 90% of the heat from global warming goes into heating the oceans, this is one of the clearest signs of our warming world.

1/ Today is Show Your Stripes Day, and I'm here to shed light on Belgium's numbers and why it's crucial to take action NOW. Let's dive in and see how we can be part of the solution! #ShowYourStripes #ClimateEmergency

A thread 🧵 Image
2/ 🌡️🌍Belgium has been experiencing the effects of climate change firsthand. Rising temperatures & extreme weather events are clear indicators of the urgent action needed to combat this global crisis. Here are some numbers that highlight the challenges we face.
3/ 🌍 Belgium has seen a significant increase in average temps over the past few decades. Since the 1800s, the temp has risen by 1.8°C, with the increase accelerating in recent years. This warming trend threatens ecosystems, agriculture, & overall well-being of our society.

The Warming Stripes are a popular visual way of highlighting the observed rise in global temperatures since 1850. #ShowYourStripes
But, the concept can also be used in different ways for different purposes... a thread🧵
For those who want numbers and a timeline to go along with the stripes...
For those who want a longer timescale...
(This version uses the @PAGES_IPO proxy-based global temperature data for years 1-2000 and the observations for 2001-2022.)

CO2 is the building block for all life on Earth and that without its presence in the global atmosphere at a sufficient concentration this would be a dead planet.
An increase in plant growth and biomass is happening globally because CO2 has increased from 280 ppm to 416 ppm since the mid-eighteenth century.

The amount of vegetation growing on the earth has been increasing every year for at least 30 years.

L’été météorologique 2022 comme préfiguration de notre avenir commun.

#Thread tout en couleurs pour parler d’une période estivale pourtant bien sombre…

#Dataviz #ShowYourStripes #France Météo-France: « L'été 2022 a été marqué par des con
Ce #Thread se focalisera exclusivement sur le paramètre « température » 🌡, je vous invite à lire le bilan climatologique de cet été 2022 signé @meteofrance qui aborde évidemment les autres variables du climat (précipitation, ensoleillement, indice d’humidité des sols…). ⤵️📖
Il ne s’agit évidemment pas de supplanter l’excellent travail déjà effectué par @meteofrance (et autres) mais de vous proposer de visualiser sous un autre angle la période que nous venons de vivre. Le visuel plus fort que l’écrit, parce qu’une data visualisation vaut 1000 mots…

Paski klimatyczne stworzył @ed_hawkins z University of Reading. Przygotowując polską wersję posłużyłem się rekonstrukcją temperatur dla Polski wykonaną przez @pdjakow, autora strony @PogodaMeteo, możecie go wesprzeć na Patronite: patronite.pl/meteomodel

Each speaker was a book in themselves. And so many were already authors with several titles to their names.

Or several businesses.

Or businesses worth billions of dollars.

Or new ideas worth trillions.

And research worth millions for your agency or business.

Truly amazing.
Like Sir Martin Sorrell who's comment I loved was that young people would prefer working on speedboats rather than aircraft carriers.

Great news for us startups like @YourFlock.

And Orlando Wood with his amazing neuro scientific prove of the need for more humour in advertising.

How do the warming stripes start conversations about climate change? #ShowYourStripes
They are stark visuals which, with a single glance, instantly communicate the simple message that the climate is heating up.
Their strength is the innovative ways that people have adapted them.
At London Fashion Week, @HouseOfTammam put on a catwalk show with dresses, accessories and a cape with the stripes as a theme, reaching a new audience and winning awards for sustainability engagement.
The rock band @ENTERSHIKARI used the warming stripes to start climate conversations with music fans during a sell-out festival tour.

Big Oil has known its products could cause climate collapse since at least 1959, when physicist Edward Teller warned the American Petroleum Institute of global warming due to fossil fuel burning "sufficient to melt the icecap & submerge New York". Happy #ShowYourStripes Day! 1/n

The planet is warming due to human activities, primarily burning fossil fuels & deforestation.

Climate change is happening here & now, and is already affecting everyone. The consequences will get worse for each bit of further warming.

🟦 🟨 🟩 February 28 of each year is @rarediseaseday. According to @RareDiseases, more than 7,000 rare diseases affect between 25 and 30 million people in the United States. ImageImageImageImage
This means that one out of every ten Americans suffers from a rare disease — and more than half of them are children. ImageImageImageImage
Last night, @DanBensonNJ and I finally had the opportunity to meet Kinsley Geurds and her family in front of the "TRENTON MAKES • THE WORLD TAKES" sign affixed to the Lower Trenton Bridge. ImageImageImageImage

Did you catch @JimCantore, @JenCarfagno, and @StephanieAbrams wearing their stripes this morning? ImageImageImage

Earth's climate has changed before for reasons nothing to do with human activity. Changes in the position of the continents, the sun's output, the number of volcanic eruptions, and the Earth's orbit have all influenced our planet's climate. Climate scientists study these reasons.
We know that none of those reasons can explain the warming measured since 1850. We also know that an increase in levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will warm the planet, just as we've observed. It is our emissions of CO₂ that dominates recent warming trends.

ATENÇÃO | Organização Meteorológica Mundial (@WMO) acaba de confirmar: 2019 foi o segundo ano mais quente da história dos registros com base em @NASAGISS, @NOAA, @metoffice, @CopernicusECMWF e Agência Meteorológica do Japão. Só atrás de 2016 e 1,1°C acima da era pré-industrial.
CLIMA | Espiral que mostra o aquecimento global acaba de ser publicada com sua atualização até 2019. Arte de @ed_hawkins.
CLIMA | Atualizadas também as listras do aquecimento global com dados até 2019. Cada listra representa um ano. Azul indica mais frio e mais vermelho/marrom mais quente o planeta. De 1850 (esquerda) a 2019 (direita). Gráfico de @ed_hawkins. #showyourstripes

So, both @TheEconomist and @guardian feature the Warming Stripes on their front pages in print this morning!

Hopefully this will start a few conversations! #climatestrike

How has Canada warmed over the last 118 years? Each of these stripes represents a year. Blue is cooler than average, red is warmer. #ShowYourStripes
