Each of the past 12 months was over 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, inching us closer towards breaking the Paris agreement

The blocks in the heat map show the temperature anomaly for each month since 1970

Where they are black, the month breached 1.5C

Regardless of emission cuts, most summers will now see dangerously high temps. That's horrible & scary but ever-more suffering / death isn't inevitable—with the right choices & the right resources. For this week's International section @TheEconomist: https://t.co/wxqpo21Rsy

My #NightingaleinPrint from @DataVizSociety arrived! Nice to see a daily chart I made with @MarieSegger a couple of years ago feature in @elsieleerobbins article. The article reminded me of a newsletter I wrote on how charts are never neutral back in 2022 https://t.co/OoIHMunhQ9

Text might be the most neglected part of #dataviz. We talk a lot about how the right chart type and colors can improve visualizations – but not enough about how to use words well.

So I wrote about that in my latest article: https://t.co/Ao1HhBNZ95
