Using Climate Data to Build a More Flood-Resilient America Extreme weather puts infrastructure at risk. Learn how NOAA Atlas 15 will provide updated data to help communities design for flood prevention.

The development of products like NOAA Atlas 15 will save lives. I am hopeful that this will continue. www.rti.org/insights/flo...

November 2024 Temperature Update - Berkeley Earth November 2024 was the 2nd warmest November since records began in 1850. 2024 is almost certain to become the warmest year on record.

2024 will go down as a new record for Earth's warmest year since instrumental measurements began, breaking the record just set in 2023.

In @berkeleyearth.org's analysis, the annual average will also be more than 1.5 Β°C (2.7 Β°F) above the 1850-1900 average.

A lot of discussion about the need to effectively communicate our science at #AGU24. Make sure to visit Gabby at our poster about a new nonprofit that aims to empower scientists interested in engaging climate change outreach. TheClimateConsensus.org

The Climate Consensus We are a group of students, professors, and scientists who are dedicated to educating others about the real science behind climate change.

Great talk, Jared. FYI, check out theclimateconsensus.org. Definitely need to improve communication.

During today's plenary with a panel of science journalists at #AGU24, the facilitator, who is the senior climate reporter at Axios, asked the audience to raise their hands if they are feeling anxious. Hands shot up verywhere. Clearly, there was a consensus.
