Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory
Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory
Taking into account all known factors, the planet warmed 0.2 °C more last year than climate scientists expected. More and better data are urgently needed.

It's AI, cloud storage, and cellular internet. That's a whole lot of microwave radiation and straight thermal radiation that didn't exist ten years ago, and it's growing fast. The additional heat build-up from our tech is outstripping our ability to compensate for it.
Waste heat is a minor cause in global warming. Greenhouse gas emissions predominate, and it's not close.
Radiation from communication infrastructure is hardly waste heat.
If a system's purpose isn't to produce heat, any heat it produces is waste heat.
It's whole purpose is to radiate specific radio waves...
Yes, and it's not infrared.
Do you think the purpose of telecom systems is to produce heat? What the hell do you think waste heat even is?
Waste heat is heat that is produced by a machine, or other process that uses energy, as a byproduct of doing work.
Yes of course they proceduce waste heat as well. I was referring to the microwave part in the root comment...
Ahh right I see, I got very confused by the way you worded the comment but that may well have been a problem here on the receiving end
Please stop spreading misinformation. You're on the internet. Kindly fact check yourself in the future. It's better for everyone, including you!
But fact checking utilizes CPU cycles and thus heats up the planet!
Well that's the stupidest thing I've seen yet today
