Climate
The long-term pattern of global temperatures and weather; shorthand for climate change and the policy response to it.
Coverage of Climate is holding steady : 21 signals on the latest tracked day, down 64% from its three-week baseline of 58, across 7 domains (down from 11 a week ago). That makes it the #48 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
Climate is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 58 signals a day across 7 domains (45 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 73+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 7. That is the move that would push it up the Wire. It sits on our Energy Desk.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran below the three-week baseline — a sustained cooling, not a one-day dip.
