AI is indeed the perfect tool for climate data rescue.
The trick is to follow the same process you'd use for citizen science - except, instead of 1000s of human volunteers, you use a trio of fine-tuned baby robots.

I'm always looking for ways to make it faster to transcribe historical data, & structured handwritten text has been a real challenge. I just tested Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash model on some Monterey Bay temperature data from 1952. I'm pretty impressed! Not perfect, but better than a blank page. 🌊

In 2018, @blkahn.bsky.social said that the warming stripes graphic 'belongs in a damn museum', even suggesting that it was 'fit for the Museum of Modern Art' (see gizmodo.com/this-climate...).
