  1. Static version of this gif in case people want to share in a place that doesn’t allow gifs. [https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1m803ba/the_staircase_of_denial_oc/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1m803ba/the_staircase_of_denial_oc/)

    the idea is that between every record hot year people go ‘look it hasn’t gotten warmer in X years global warming is disproven. Checkmate now, king me’

    Data from Met Office [https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcrut5/](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcrut5/)

    And i want to make a way to easily see how warming continues inside normal variations (things like the el niño cycle) and a new record year is coming.

    I heard about the escalator of denial here and wanted to update it and make the code public [https://skepticalscience.com/graphics.php?g=465](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fskepticalscience.com%2Fgraphics.php%3Fg%3D465)

    Python code here if you want to make your own version [https://gist.github.com/cavedave/a11fa410a471b4fb50b656e76e3edbe0](https://gist.github.com/cavedave/a11fa410a471b4fb50b656e76e3edbe0)

  2. Love it.

    Unfortunately, I think those people have moved on to “but it isn’t man-made” or “the weather is always changing”.
