That 2023 line does not look ideal...

Each point represents a five day moving average. The x-axis is in terms of historical standard deviations, i.e each day is compared to the standard deviation of historical values for that year. So we are at -6 SD from the historical average for this point in time.
Other excellent visualizations are in the article!
I don't want to sound pessimistic but this seems bad
Good. When it's gone we'll be able to get to that sweet sweet oil
[Slaps the newly exposed dirt] "It's free real estate!"

Melt the ice, get the dino juice bc we only have 47 years of reserves left...
Holocene extinction any%
This is fine!
Take that, stupid mean sea ice. That's what you get for sinking our boat. Apes together strong.
I love graphs that don't have their axis labeled. I the first graph, y axis, what am I looking at? -2 what?
They are standard deviations, which is described in the footnote. But yeah, probably better to label that axis.
This is probably one of the most insane things I've ever said but its like the Mario and Luigi of terrifying climate charts from 2023
