The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Monday, January 22, 2024

January 22, 2024 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

Clay Jones writes of his cartoon above” From the first Republican debate back in August, except for Chris Christie, they were all wishy-washy in fear of criticizing Trump. It’s hard to tell voters they should vote for you over Donald Trump while refusing to criticize Trump out of fear of angering those voters. If a presidential candidate is so wishy-washy about Trump, then how can we expect that person as president to not be wishy-washy with someone like Vladimir Putin?”

Notably: 47 years since a cooler-than-average year: 1976.

From Statista: Confirming earlier, preliminary reports, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced last week that 2023 was in fact the warmest year on record (since 1850). And it’s not just that 2023 beat the previous temperature record, it did so by a record-breaking margin, as 2023 was 0.15 degrees Celsius warmer than 2016, the previously hottest year. Earth’s average land and ocean surface temperature in 2023 was 1.18 degrees Celsius (2.12 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 20th-century average of 13.9 degrees Celsius (57.0 degrees Fahrenheit), according to research conducted by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. The 10 warmest years since 1850 have now all occurred in the past decade, as global mean surface temperatures (land and sea) diverged 0.77 to 1.18 degrees Celsius from the 20th century average between 2014 and 2023. And it’s unlikely that the planet’s hot streak will come to an end this year. According to NOAA, there’s a one-in-three chance that 2024 will be warmer than 2023 and a 99-percent chance that 2024 will be among the five warmest years. It has now been 47 years since Earth had a cooler-than-average year in 1976, as temperatures have diverged upward from the 20th century average in 48 of the past 50 years. Conversely, just 5 of the the first 90 years of the observance period (i.e. 1850-1939) saw global surface temperatures above the 20th century average of 13.9 degrees Celsius. “After seeing the 2023 climate analysis, I have to pause and say that the findings are astounding,” NOAA Chief Scientist Dr. Sarah Kapnick said in a statement. “Not only was 2023 the warmest year in NOAA’s 174-year climate record – it was the warmest by far. A warming planet means we need to be prepared for the impacts of climate change that are happening here and now, like extreme weather events that become both more frequent and severe.”

 

Now this: Nothing like Lebanon’s Cedars.

The cedars don’t live up to their reputation: they’re drooping with age and are too few. But Lebanon isn’t lauded enough. It’s as beautiful as the Pyrennes, and under an Oriental sky.” (“Les cèdres ne valent pas leur reputation: ils tombent de vieillesse et sont trop peu nombreux. Mais le Liban n’est pas assez vanté. C’est aussi beau que les Pyrénées et sous un ciel d’Orient.”

–From a letter by Flaubert to his mother, Oct. 7, 1850.
