what's  your  climate  barcode?

I'm betting it's pretty much like mine in Miami, heavy on the orange, reds, and burnt siennas on the right. Climate scientists Ed Hawkins of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) at the University of Reading has devised a clever set of "visualisations" to show how temperatures have changed across Gaia over the centuries. He calls them "Warming Stripes." The color of each stripe represents the temperature of a single year, ordered from the earliest available data at each location to now.  If your city is old, it will go back centuries. You can find some of them here.  

To me they look like barcodes. And you don't need a machine to read it to tell you it's warming up faster than it has in centuries. As Greta has said, "climate change" needed to be replaced with "climate crisis" to get the world's attention to act now, not later. Hawkin's contribution to understanding the fast approaching meltdown can only help.  Hopefully.
