Took me more than a minute to realize that only 4 months of this year hold the record. Well, let's wait for 2030
Edit: nope. Last 12 months indeed beat the records consequently . We'll all soon die. The only good thing I can see from this graph is that the shift is even, meaning the seasons are still predictable.
We will probably be underwater in 2030.
I think that I should become a captain in a supertanker...
Fortunately it will take more than 6 years for coastal cities to start flooding that much. By the end of the century it is forecasted to go up by less than 2 meter worst case. In 2000 years it could rise as much as 20 years if the temperatures rise 5ยฐC.
Additionally it is much easier to just move to higher ground.
