Not that we really need more ways to show how unusually warm 2024 was...

Here's the joyplot updated with the past year.

Oh that’s probably about right for me for some of mine. Partly due to being on off schedules but also the pandemic. I would think it would be a little extreme if we had not had the Covid pandemic

This thread is epic and really worrying.

What can we do about it? Well for a start, as a science community we can do our jobs as editors and peer reviewers properly. And refuse to review for, publish in, cite etc journals that don't.

Red line graph time series of monthly carbon dioxide abundance from January 1959 through November 2024. There is a seasonal cycle and long-term increasing trend. Current levels of CO2 are at 424 ppm. This is the Keeling Curve graph. A line for CO2 10 years ago is also annotated.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged 424 ppm in October 2024

10 years ago October averaged about 397 ppm

I've started working on this starter pack (Hydrology+Hydrogeology+Water in general) to help friends/colleagues who are migrating from the other place.

Please note that this is work in progress and that more people will be added. Feel free to suggest BlueSky handles in comments.
