First week of March temperature departure from normal. Seems warm. 🔥

1/🌡️ Global warming passed a milestone on 17th Nov 2023 that barely made the news

For the first time ever, the world's daily average temperature was 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels

Here's what the data says about when that becomes the annual norm, & whether it's coming sooner than anyone expects🧵

good morning!!!

Interestingly there are only 171,000 people who speak Spanish at home in Australia. Music tears down boundaries though. The crowd singing may not have known what they were saying but they knew the words. Multiculturalism at its finest.

For a rainy day Each month, you put a little aside in a savings account. It’s not always the same amount because – you know – life is life, but each month a little gets squirreled away. Then you …

Has global warming accelerated? Why? How much? How do we know? What does it all mean? etc. With hand-drawn illustrations, dodgy metaphors, and a complete lack of clear answers.

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨

NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space.

The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

There is a limit on how far we can let climate run away now, if we are to give the next generation an opportunity. See Runaway – mailchi.mp/caa/runaway-...

Global Warming Has Accelerated Significantly
Foster & @rahmstorf.bsky.social

"The resulting adjusted and thus less “noisy” data show that there has been acceleration with over 98% confidence, with faster warming over the last 10+ years than during any previous decade."

David Pocock calls for inquiry into why Government collects more revenue from beer excise than PRRT Independent Senator for the ACT David Pocock has called for an inquiry into why gas companies pay less for gas exports than Australians pay in the beer excise.

All hail David Pocock. Clearly a difficult man. #Auspol thepoint.com.au/news/260303-...

Where’s the consumer protection for Australians @acccgovau.bsky.social? Unleaded 91 now 219.7c per litre up 50c in a week -clear evidence of price gouging and a blight on national productivity/inflation. Do something! Iran war started only 6 days ago.

Significant acceleration of global warming since 2015, finds news PIK study with @rahmstorf.bsky.social
Recent warming: around ~0.35°C per decade.
1970–2015 average: just under 0.2°C per dec.
➡️Current rate is higher than in any decade since records began in 1880.

Remarkable warmth.

First 40C of the year in INDIA today
3 stations with 40C
13 International (and many more States) stations >39C.

The early March harshest heat wave in history will keep intensifying until mind month,than the temperatures will flatten until returning to just slightly above normal

The Juneau Intl Airport has received at least 1" of snow on 10 consecutive days. This ties their longest streak on record. Sadly, it will not snow today. @alaskawx.bsky.social @alaska.bsky.social

We ventured into Melbourne to a friend’s apartment for the afternoon. Such a difference to our little village of 1200 people!!

@drjamesehansen.bsky.social assumed a moderate El Nino for his 1.7°C projection.

"we suggest that even a moderately strong El Nino may yield record global temperature already in 2026 and still greater temperature in 2027."
