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 : 16 signals on the latest tracked day, up 14% from its three-week baseline of 14, across 10 domains (down from 11 a week ago). That makes it the #58 most-covered of the 289 concerns we track.
Climate is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 14 signals a day across 10 domains (45 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 18+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 10. 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 above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
