This graphic is expertly engineered for human psychology. It's designed to make people fear, obey, and vote for left-wing fanatics that pretend to care.
It weaponizes color: blue feels safe and calm, red screams alarm and heat. The entire crisis spans a mere ~2°F total over 140+ years (barely noticeable day-to-day). Yet the stacked red layers and funnel shape make recent warming look like an apocalyptic pile-up. It also uses Fahrenheit so there's more than just a mere 1 degree change in Celsius.
It exploits recency bias by compressing older years and dominating the top with vivid red. Minimal text, no uncertainty ranges, no context, no absolute temperatures ... just raw emotional manipulation designed to bypass your analytical brain.
Applause.
And, it doesn't work anymore.
@shimiMacGhille@CurtisDaly_ Crops are insanely sensitive to heat fluctuations and even more so to long term higher or lower temperatures than what they can take. Large windows do nothing if the air coming in those windows is still 10 C hotter than the inside temp.
@shimiMacGhille@CurtisDaly_ Adapting does not solely mean air-conditioning, at least it should not stop there. We need to rethink agriculture, city planning, public infrastructure, new builds, water management, grid management and overall almost everything else in order to not suffer heavy setbacks going on
