Happy #ShowYourStripes Day! For the previous few years, meteorologists and climatologists have taken a day in June to indicate dramatic graphics on TV green screens, ties, masks, blankets, sweaters, and even a Tesla that illustrate how shortly the local weather is altering.
First developed by climate scientist Ed Hawkins, these graphics—dubbed warming stripes—put the temperature adjustments wrought by the local weather disaster in a stark mild. In the unique picture, every stripe represented a yr within the lifetime of the worldwide common temperature. Since then, warming stripes graphics have proliferated to indicate how a lot international locations, states, and even native cities have heated up.
In honor of this auspicious day, we thought we’d share just a few alarming stripe graphics from U.S. states with some completely unrelated quotes from deniers politicians in Congress to offer them the chance to indicate their stripes, in a fashion of talking.
