I for one welcome our new crab overlords!

Give or take a few Texans …

Well that’s terrifying, 1 Argentina is 4 Texases

Do we just switch to Texans at that scale? So like 6 Texans?

Isnt “one Texas” one of the standard nonsense units used in the United states? Why aren’t they using that? Or can they only use it when it’s 1, 2, 5 or 12 texases and otherwise it’s Argentina’s?

I don’t think it’s that suitable alternatives that could make a lot of headway into limiting the problem dont exist, it’s more that a lot of people are making a lot of money from the status quo and have a vested interest in ensuring the status quo remains. You can bet your bottom dollar that if those people had found a way to continue the gravy train with the alternatives then they would. Eventually they are going to have to consider that if society collapses due to their actions that the currency they are accumulating will be worthless without the societies that dictate its value. I don’t think that will happen until we start seeing some of the climate change chickens come home to roost. It’s going to be unpleasant for a lot of people and might be too late.

I went curved and now the flat monitors at work are annoying because the far edges are too far away ='(

The average tells us quite a lot. It shows that overall, year on year temperatures across the entire planet are increasing, whether it’s winter or summer. Like you say the impacts of that are higher spikes in more places every year and those spikes are lost from the data, but the average is valuable aswell. Because of the scale, and the fact that it’s including winter for half the planet, 1 degree change in the average is pretty crazy.

Yeah that was my thought, turns out the land water ratio in the northern hemisphere is 2:3 while it’s 1:4 in the southern hemisphere

Interesting that despite it still being summer and roasty toasty in the southern hemisphere in January, the world average temp is still lower than the northern hemisphere summer.
