Moving away from high-end emissions scenarios I have a new commentary in Dialogues on Climate Change exploring climate outcomes in current policy scenarios

New post on The Climate Brink from Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social about our climate future. With current policies, weโ€™re on track for a bit less than 3C, with 2030 NDCs weโ€™re on track for about 2.5C, and with net zero pledges weโ€™re on track for a bit less than 2C.

From aming all the great charts that came out on Jan10 on 2024's climate, I like this one among the most. It shows nicely how the past two years have stood out not only from.the warming trend, but even from the extreme outliers from the warming trend.

2023-2024 were extreme among the extremes.

For all those scientists out there working on topics related to climate change mitigation and the Paris Agreement, now is the time to submit your great research abstracts to our EGU session.

Deadline 15 January!

a graphic showing a linear relationship between emissions of co2 and the warming of earth, projected out also into various scenarios

"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm

This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality.

I have a new analysis over at The Climate Brink exploring how rates of warming have changed over the past century.

Post-1970, GHGs (CO2, CH4, etc.) would have led to just under 0.2C per decade, but falling aerosols (SO2) have increased that rate to 0.25C. www.theclimatebrink....

With all the news about the latest data showing that temperatures in 2024 were 1.6ยฐC warmer than pre-industrial levels, many have asked what this means for the 1.5ยฐC of the UN Paris Agreement.

Warming stripes for 1850-2024, changing from blues to reds as the world rapidly warms up

Warming stripes for 1850-2024, changing from blues to reds as the world rapidly warms up

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history โ€“ about 1.6ยฐC warmer than the pre-industrial period.

More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.

Looking ahead to 2025, we expect it to be slightly cooler than 2023 and 2024 at around 1.4C above preindustrial levels, as El Nino has faded away and cooler conditions are developing in the tropical Pacific.

This is the first time in human history that annual global temperatures have exceeded 1.5ยฐC above pre-industrial levels - a stark reminder that our window for decisive #ClimateAction is rapidly closing.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Amazing how eating less meat is better for people, animals and planet. Processed red meat contributes to dementia AND cancer, heart disease, diabetes, air+water pollution, climate warming methane emissions and even #birdflu ALL of which translate to more overall illness and healthcare cost.
