Open post Moved to @cpr320@frontrange.co @gpk@pgh.social · 33mo ago Replying to @steve@fediscience.org <p>I'm rather taken with this elegant visualization of @ClimateChange from the BBC. Particularly as it clearly shows how anomalous 2023 was.</p><p>It's a Ridgeline plot (also sometimes called a joyplot, after the iconic album cover from the band <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/JoyDivision" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JoyDivision</span></a>). <br /> <br />I just wish they'd used a pre-industrial average as the baseline. 2023 was 1.48°C warmer than pre-industrial times according to the Copernicus data.</p> @steve So, what exactly is being plotted in each year? A histogram of daily global temperatures, relative to the same day in the baseline?
