Very similar chart to this one recording the date of Japan's cherry blossoms blooming since 600 AD. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/03/29/japan-kyot

  what do you mean by a similar graph if the original post only goes back to 1950 but japans goes back to 600?

    The original post goes back to 1354.
    - markjspivey 4y ago
      Yes one of the graphs is from back then, so then I’ll ask again since 650 is not 1354 …

        im asking because of the medieval warm period and subsequent little ice age which occurred prior to the more recent big uptrend

Probably just a coincidence! We probably shouldn't inconvenience ourselves in the slightest amount to mitigate these coincidences. Anything that might damage profits, impact billionaires, or hurt shareholders of our best gigantic businesses isn't something we should consider. Hopefully my seething sarcasm came through all of that bullshit.

  An interesting conclusion.

  > Anything that might damage profits, impact billionaires, or hurt shareholders of our best gigantic businesses isn't something we should consider. You’re unfairly omitting how fossil fuels have lifted billions out of poverty. Stopping climate change also lowers standards of living.

    Thats a fallacious argument. Low and no carbon sources of electricity have been available since the 1920s. We could have reduced poverty without relying on the vast (and quite wasteful) quantities of fossil fuels that we did. This future is the result of a series of choices made to the financial benefit of a select few.

      Even if the electric car cannot replace the ICE one, I cannot think of a good reason to burn fossil fuel for base load generation. We have hydro, we have nuclear, we have solar, and we have wind - at least two of those are dandy at base load generation, the other two act as good peaking sources. Cheaper is no longer good justification.
