By request, here is a graph showing the 20-year running average for the global mean surface temperature for every year 1960 to 2024.
I also have included a quadratic trendline in this graph. The excellent fit of the quadratic is equivalent to accelerating warming. Warming is NOT exponential!

Norway taxes their fossil fuel industries and young people receive free university education. In Australia we subsidise the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $14.5B a year and young people have to pay exorbitant university fees. Australia the UK and the US are the worst offenders in the world.

A few of the ones I valued from Twitter I've found, but I'm missing lots.

We did our part, and now we’re done
