| 1638899059133153281 | WMO was born 150 years ago. The warming stripes from @ed_hawkins show how our climate has warmed during that time. And the warming will continue. #WorldMetDay #ClimateChange https://t.co/Oj9eHNkGtQ | 118 |
| 1637916637407100928 | Its pretty amazing to see this graphic that @alxrdk posted on twitter four years ago (based on @ed_hawkins climate stripes) show up as the marquee figure in the new @IPCC_CH synthesis report: https://t.co/DnIqJphdch | 61 |
| 1640435169961164801 | Still on the topic of climate, I thought I'd play with @ed_hawkins hugely influential climate stripes. May be a mistake but here are two stairways showing global average surface temp anomalies from 1850 to 2023. #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale https://t.co/qPoRTG46B6 | 47 |
| 1638861215207391232 | Happy #WorldMetDay! Our ceremony was held early to include #WaterAction and highlight the crucial role of youth in 150 years of progress. Thanks to our amazing guest speakers!

| 1638231716912308250 | In this terrific thread #climate scientist @ed_hawkins explains how the various graphics in the the new @IPCC_CH urgent report were chosen and generated, and what they signify. In the process, he gives a mini-seminar on the #ClimateCrisis -- take the journey. https://t.co/7mqpf9sZJz | 30 |

| 1638649051490168833 | First episode of our new podcast series for @ConversationEDU out today! @michaelbgreen and I speak to leading @IPCC_CH scientists @valmasdel, @coralsncaves and @ed_hawkins about how we know that our climate is changing. https://t.co/mraID3p4Wu | 22 |

| 1638980655358038030 | @UNFCCC @ed_hawkins Why did you only go back to 1850? That's such a short time span, Please go back 20,000 years to see this is absolutely normal for planet earth. | 305 |

| 1638981830673039360 | @UNFCCC @ed_hawkins 173 year chart on a planet that's 4.5b years old (a snapshot of less than .000001% of historical Earth data). It's hardly a conclusive argument. Humans aren't causing this short period of warming. Earth is a living organism. Temp fluctuations will always occur. | 205 |

| 1638992459899478017 | @UNFCCC @ed_hawkins When you pay someone to make you a graph and you tell them exactly what you want it to show. This is the result. lmbo. | 141 |
