Watching the fight to save Mt.Wilson Observatory. So much gratitude for the firefighting teams. This is considered the most important scientific observatory of the 20th century. #eatonfire #mountwilson

I read that the awful fires in the LA area have now reached #mountWilson. The observatory there is wonderful, it should be a world heritage site - itโ€™s where Hubble discovered the expansion of the universe. I hope with all my heart that it survives, and that the firefighters there are safe. #

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

It's great to see science migrating over here - @scottehensley.bsky.social posting the results on BlueSky and promoting the BlueSky post (but not the results) on X.

This is the way to do it.

Graph showing daily temperature anomaly hitting peak of 2.06ยฐC on November 17th, 2023 for the time period starting from 1940 to 2023.

There's a deep sense of sadness and loneliness seeing this record shattering graph.

November 17, 2023 was the first day in recorded history when the earth's surface was a whole 2ยฐC hotter than pre-industrial times. Yet, there's barely any chatter about this staggering breach.

I want to highlight the recent paper by Naughten and others, here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is a really important paper, but I want to mention a couple of minor caveats.

September 2023 was not only the warmest September on record by a staggering 0.5ยฐC margin, but at 1.82ยฐC (3.28ยฐF) above the 1850-1900 preindustrial average, it also set the record for the largest monthly temperature anomaly ever recorded.

This chart shows the biggest drivers.

Would you like to help climate scientists?

If so, today we launch our latest #WeatherRescue project.

Join other volunteers to transcribe lost weather observations. The mission is to recover pressure measurements taken in Oxford between 1828-1860.
