Reminds me of one of the more conclusive pieces of evidence that global warming is occurring - the date cherry blossoms flower in Kyoto (https://i.imgur.com/sD4nZuh.png)
It's a cool piece of data because it's been tracked for over 1100 years. We don't have a ton of sources of information like that.

They tend to display it for blocked connections like vpns

That's a tad frustrating,.since Imgur is now blocking all UK traffic. VPN is my main saviour these days for sites that don't also block the main VPN providers or data center IPs

Looks like a regression line between April 1 and May 1. The line moves around between the 11th and the 16th from the year ~850 until ~1950, but never crosses it until ~1950. The current average is about 6 days earlier (April 5th).

After 1900, it starts nose diving.

We are quite literally baking the planet. First with Bitcoin mining now with AI data centers. I pray that at least the AI datacenters will be allowed to be put to good use instead of BS jobs.

We are going to bake the planet for AI Stephen Hawking videos and Twitter politics bots.

Ai will take over our jobs which makes it so we can’t afford ai which causes ai companies to go belly up which causes the economy to implode thereby saving the planet.

..."first with Bitcoin"? Is that the narrative we're buying now? That this problem starts at Bitcoin? Not the coal-fired electrical grid fueling it?

Any proof-of-work cryptocurrency is literally a system that incentivizes runaway, self-reinforcing energy consumption like no other product in human history. Bringing it into the world is the dumbest idea that any human has ever had. I hope Satoshi is ashamed of his mental lapse.

Don't worry about it, as one very famous and respected climate change economist once calculated, farming only comes to 3% of global GDP.

The worst part about this is that the motorcyclists stay out longer and longer until it gets below 10 degrees. I live in the "quiet countryside" and all I hear on the weekends, holidays, and often Monday/Tuesday is over the top loud motorbikes racing past my house.
