We’re filling the atmosphere with CO2 like a bathtub with water. Most of it stays for millennia.
That is why the cumulative emissions (the total amount, as pictured here) and not yearly emissions determine the amount of #globalwarming.

Somewhat surprising to me that they decided to inflate the visual representation of difference given that the difference is quite large (increase 100% inside vs decrease 50% outside).

Wowie. Ich habe aus größter Ferne teilgehabt. Das las dich wie der große Traum aller lehrenden. Rundes Ende mit dem Nichtauftauchen der Studis

Same. We use kobold toolbox frequently in field work and have very positive experience with it (and it's support)

Scheint so, als hätten eher ältere Männer auf dem Land Angst, nachts allein auf die Straße zu gehen?

Die Kids sind polarisierter zwischen Jungs und Mädchen denn je. Immer mehr Studien weisen darauf hin. Weltweit. Zuletzt in Norwegen.
Und bei uns auch die Wahlen:

Das möchte ich hier auch bitte!

Im Freundeskreis sagt jemand, er/sie weiss nicht ob er/sie wählen geht, weil die Nachtschicht so anstrengend war und man eigentlich müde ist und keine Lust hat.

Bitte geht wählen und nutzt eure Stimme! #GoVote

Yes! Me too! I have also seen it on some academic office doors & walls :)

Technology-minded climate delegates support less stringent climate policies Nature Sustainability - Within high-level conferences devoted to climate or sustainability action, differences in views can lead to differences in policy. This study surveyed how delegates at COP24...

Totally agree! We looked at *technological optimism* (building on the framework) among COP delegates and how it connects to climate policies, especially lower CO₂ pricing. Turns out, putting too much faith in tech solutions can really slow down ambition.

Sounds super interesting! Hope its will be out soon 🤩

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index.

The top 10 countries are ALL in Europe.

Every country Trump puts tariffs on should fight back with a 100% tariff on Teslas.

On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive?

Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%.

This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!

This year I'm tired.

2024 kam 🇩🇪 erstmals seit 1961 ohne Atomstrom aus. Was wurde gewarnt: Blackouts, Brownouts, explodierende Strompreise & Kohle-Comeback. Stattdessen war Strom immer verfügbar, die Preise sind stabil, mit 37,2% Anteil historischer Tiefstand foss. Brennstoffe & mit 62,7% ein Rekordanteil von PV & Wind😊

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

5 Schlagzeilen, die man in 🇩🇪 nie lesen wird:

1.) Preisschock: D-Ticket über Nacht 9€ rauf

2.) 17 Mrd Subventionen - Zwingt der Staat uns ins Auto?

3.) Abzocke: Öffi-Einzelticket schon über 4€

4.) Über 400 Fahrradtote - wie die Behörden versagen

5.) An Kaufkraft gemessen: Sprit immer billiger

In Germany, 55% find friendship very important (and further 41% rather important). At the same time, 88% deem family very important (ourworldindata.org/grapher/how-...). Contradicting the narrative of individualism? (Or showing discrepancy between wishes and reality)

How important family is to people in life Share of survey respondents indicating how important family is in their lives.

Nice! In Germany (where I am from) importance of friends increased over time. Seems to be in contrast to the narrative of ever increasing individualism. At the same time, importance of family scores high (88%, ourworldindata.org/grapher/how-...)

That's sobering.

🙋‍♂️🙏

I'm not much into history, but this is amazing! I just played around with it for fun; you see events evolving over time and click on them to be redirected to the corresponding Wikipedia page 😮. Amazing.

Fantastic opportunity 👇

Very visual description of the temperature over time. No further words needed

Absolutely! I feel that and have been discussing it with friends who were just as surprised by the misalignment of age measured by the calendar and the perceived one (we are all somewhat below 40 still)

Thank you for your awesome work! We use your visualisations frequently in our lectures! Super helpful 👌
