Sick of hearing about record heat? Scientists say those numbers paint the story of a warming world: With a summer of extreme weather records dominating the news, meteorologists and scientists say records like these give a glimpse of the big picture: a warming planet caused by climate change. https://phys.org/news/2023-07-sick-scientists-story-world.html
My instinct, as a non-expert, is that what we should really be looking at is rolling-average trends rather than records, to minimise cherry-picking. Stories about records, rightly or wrongly, come across as sensationalist and potentially misleading. Am I wrong?
The climate records that are being broken regionally are a direct consequence of the trends shown above. If you read the article @readbeanicecream was kind enough to share, then you would have read that. "Records go back to the late 19th century, and we can see that there has been a decade-on-decade increase in temperatures," said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, keeper of the agency's climate records."
So no, I don't think this is sensationalist or misleading at all. You just need to dig past the headline a little bit. A headline that accurately reflects what scientists are saying is a direct consequence of the general trend that's going to continue to get worse and break more records into the future.

The global Big Data as a Service (BDaaS) market size reached USD 18.42 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 30.3% during the forecast period, according to latest analysis by Emergen Research. Key factors such as increasing demand for better data storage scalability and effective big data solutions are projected to drive market revenue growth between 2022 and 2030. Majority of businesses prioritize data integration and big data projects.
The global industrial sensors market size reached USD 22.98 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period, according to latest analysis by Emergen Research. Increasing demand for Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices is driving market revenue growth.
Input devices that are interlinked to systems and measure changes in required equipment are known as industrial sensors. Industrial plants use a variety of sensors, each with its own unique design and capability. For example, temperature sensor is a device that collects thermal information from a resource and converts it into a format that another device can understand. These sensors, in conjunction with a monitoring relay, are commonly used in windings of industrial electric motors to protect against overheating and to prevent insulation damage. This monitoring can also be linked to a wireless sensor network, allowing for real-time adjustments and disaster prevention measures to be implemented in the event of a disaster.
The global Minimally Invasive Surgical Systems Market size was USD 48.10 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period, according to latest analysis by Emergen Research. Geriatric population growth and most diseases requiring surgical treatment among geriatrics account for the steady growth of minimally invasive surgical systems globally.
A steadily increasing global geriatric population, and the majority of diseases requiring surgery being diagnosed among geriatrics, contribute to the steady global minimally invasive surgical systems market revenue growth. According to recent estimates, the number of elderly people over 80 years of age will reach 425 million by 2050 compared to 137 million in 2017.
The Global Green Technology and Sustainability Market Research Report provides a brief overview inclusive of the competitive landscape and key developments, policies, manufacturing costs, and processes. The report also provides the analysis of import/export, production and consumption ratio, supply and demand, cost, price, estimated revenue, and gross margins.
