GFS forecast has spiked up today. Wonder what’s going on there

”I trust science“ crowd when a scientist says something that doesn’t align with their beliefs

I wonder if anyone in Trump’s circle thought the rapture was gonna happen today. I’m leaning towards yes

Now there‘s evidence

I have a theory that climate articles are always given ridiculous headlines by the NYT editor on purpose, don‘t have any evidence but still….

Do you have a hypothesis as to why the sudden uptick is happening?

What was going on in the 1940's that caused such a spike? Some strong el nino's or something like that?

*nuanced article dealing with the complexities of climate modeling, both in the short and long term and potential shortcomings*

Frank Zappa was saying this 40 years ago and it’s still relevant today. Imagine what he’d say about today’s media

B-b-but the shipping aerosols…..Hunga Tonga…….. you mean to tell me that the climate scientists were….. right about long term models???????

Thank you for the clarification👍. Later on in that same article they make reference to no warming after net zero but it’s still anxiety inducing

Is the section about 0.5C accurate? I thought warming stops once we reach net zero

Certainly one of the first prominent ones. I’d say nowadays there are some pretty effective communicators too like Dr. Schmidt and Hausfather

With scientific credentials to back it up

As an aside I thought you meant the actor Brian Cox at first😂. Him and Dr. Mann both suffer from a Hollywood identity thief

Definitely. Sagan, Tyson and Cox all have pretty illustrious scientific backgrounds.

I suppose so. Nowadays non-climate scientists can make waves and attract large followings (Leon Simons, Ben See, Eliot Jacobson, etc.)

How come did this not get as much historical attention as Hansen’s testimony 3 years later?

When I realized almost every news outlet uses the same crossword puzzles I lost any remaining incentive to use the NYT.

According to The Hill, 3 senators have said they’ll vote no. Let’s hope a fourth one will have the courage to stand up and prevent this asinine bill from passing

Ahh okay. As someone whose too young to remember the “hiatus period” and doesn’t have a background in climate science it’s a bit difficult to wrap my head around the topic sometimes.

Kinda sucks when two distinguished scientists have such an intense disagreement😬

I probably should’ve expected that😭

Bit of an aside, but how warm is June shaping up to be?

Would a modest El Niño at the end of the year potentially push 2025 up to a record?

Is there a lag in surface temps for La Niña like there is for El Niño? From what I understand January was the first month to be officially in La Niña territory

How much does this increase the odds of a record warm 2025?

Does this mean long-term models may no longer be reliable?

The graph posted by Dr. Schmidt implies that this is a more normal pattern than last year, what’s your take on this?
