I suspect this won't be up here long, HN has a pretty strong but unofficial and "community" enforced policy against bad news, especially relating to climate.
But that won't be an issue for long since climate change data will soon continually start disappearing. I seriously never imagined that we would lose Mauna Loa [0], which we might.
Given that even in this community, which is relatively data/science literate, there is enough energy to remove this content during a time when information is plenty, in just a few short a few short years, and in the absence of data, I suspect most people will revert to completely misunderstanding and underestimating the truly existential risks we are facing, despite the observable evidence being more clear than ever.
Already I've noticed in the reporting of the most recent Texas floods there is scant mention of climate change (sure you can find it if you look, but it should be the headline)
edit: as predicted, it's already gone!
