Unbelievable heat anomaly unfolding across China — vast regions up to 16°C above normal for this time of year. The climate crisis isn’t future tense — it’s now. Urgent action is needed. 2050 targets are too late. #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave

Don’t Look Up & Up & Up & Up…

From our archives: The water that a single tree transpires daily has the cooling effect of two home air conditioners. Deforestation is dramatically disrupting this arboreal air conditioning. e360.yale.edu/features/how-d…

A considerable amount of the Northern hemisphere's landmass has already warmed more than 2C since the industrial era. The cold blob in the North Atlantic is a telltale sign of a weakening AMOC current.

Wake up! Even during the last interglacial (the Eemian), global Sea Surface Temperatures were likely lower than they are now. We are rapidly barreling to a climate state unseen for millions of years. If ever.

What is happening here? Why are we so silent? 47.5c/118F at Gallinas in MEXICO

The two-year running mean for global surface temperature anomaly is approaching 1.6°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline. The planet has not been this hot in over 120,000 years.

🌀 The jet stream is wobbling and looping, dragging massive cold air masses from the Arctic across North America 🌬️❄️. Meanwhile, sting jet systems are racing across the Atlantic, bringing fierce storms to Ireland and the UK. 🌪️🌧️

The ocean has been absorbing 90 per cent of the excess heat created by greenhouse gas emissions, but now it seems the capacity to do this is rapidly declining. #Echobox=1739042584" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newscientist.com/article/246738…

I see David Attenborough is trending. I wish we would actually listen to what he’s saying and act on his most urgent warnings, rather than just saying how much we love him.

Up to 100 inches of snow could fall near Donner Summit through next Saturday, as models have trended even wetter for a third, much colder atmospheric river late next week. @palisadestahoe could see a foot or more of snow for four consecutive days from Tuesday to Friday.

On its current trajectory, the world will experience at least 3°C of warming by the end of the century—within the lifetime of most children today. 🔥 3°C = an intolerable world, potential human extinction. We must take urgent action to mitigate this catastrophic scenario.

The "Great Dying" 252 million years ago, was caused by global warming that left ocean animals unable to breathe 96 percent of marine species died off Now humans are triggering the same mass extinctions sustainability.stanford.edu/news/what-caus…

Sulphur emissions from shipping have kept the oceans and seas relatively cold. 3 months from today, sulphur emissions over the Mediterranean Sea will be reduced by another 80%. How will that impact the regional climate?

@EliotJacobson Well done. Everyone should be aware of the enormous threats and collateral damage associated with #ClimateChange.

A little list ...

Daily global sea surface temperatures continue to be hot, running #2 to 2024, despite El Nino ending and a mild La Nina already in place. We are now seeing what 4.8 billion Hiroshima bombs worth of heating since 2001 have done to the oceans.
