I don't get the intricacies of the current 1.5C-debate, nor do I understand all your elaborations. But you made me chuckle several times. Again. Thank you!

I might add necessary-or not hair-splitting of some-or-no use. While I don't doubt your experience with live swans, swan song, Schwanengesang, is not one by the generally healthy birds,
which I don't doubt you did encounter in your life,
but the very last song by a dying one that maybe or maybe not is of remarkable beauty.

Maybe the ancient Greeks who first mentioned this http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0003:card=1444 ,
were so surprised how healthy swans have such disturbing voices but in their last moments, suddenly sing with ethereal beauty, that they found it a fact worth coining the German expression for...

Haha, came across an old blogpost by John Kennedy aka @micefearboggis
https://diagrammonkey.wordpress.com/2023/10/08/a-multitude-of-possibly-unsatisfying-answers/
First published early October 2023 it looks for explanations for the mind-boggling "bananas" global temperatures in last year's Northern Hemisphere summer.
I had already read a lot of other musings in this regard so didn't read John's main post (sorry) but jumped right to this part:

" PS (added 9 October) "
From that point on until January 9, John adds a post scriptum for each of the many attempts by other researchers at conclusively explaining 2023.
I had read most of them when they had come out, and so did you, I assume – so information isn't the reason why I wanted to share John's post with you.

The reason is his voice, his rhetoric, his dry humour.
It's a form of #climateArt , I guess. Or #ClimateComedy even? #ClimateSatire ?
In any case, it's a voice that was missing from my #ClimateSoundscape . So glad I found it now.
A fun read about why we don't know why 2023 was weird.
