Update: This summer was the hottest summer since 1880 when modern recordkeeping began. August 2024 is the 15th month in a row of record-breaking monthly temperatures. More: nasa.gov/earth/nasa-finds-su…
ALT A line graph of August temperature anomalies, with a jagged bright red line growing from left to right across the page. The Y axis is labeled Temperature Anomaly in degrees Celsius, running from -.5 to 1. The X axis is labeled Year, running from 1880 to past 2000, with the line reaching 2024. Although the data line does not uniformly go up, with peaks and dips especially in the earlier years, the overall trend is rising temperatures. By 2024, the line is well above the 1 degree Celsius point.

Great read from @amywestervelt on the Forbes contributor network, and how it boosted Mike Shellenberger's public profile.
Like Amy, I was also once a journalist at Forbes.com. It was pretty critical for me, but also very frustrating. 🧵

With May 2024 coming in as the warmest May on record, global temperatures have been at 1.63C above preindustrial levels over the past 12 months in @CopernicusECMWF's ERA5.
A pretty sharp jump up from prior global temps we've seen, akin to the increase between 2010 and 2016:

This 1 minute video of me debunking the “cloud seeding caused the Dubai floods” has been watched by humans cumulatively for 56 days so far. It’s still a tiny fraction of the time people spent watching the original misinformation.
Big changes in extreme precipitation are happening. Here is the observed change in the severity of heavy precipitation events, due mostly to climate change.

For every degree C that Earth’s atmospheric temperature rises, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere can increase by about 7%.
A warmer world is a one with heavier precipitation events, even in places where average rainfall may remain unchanged. carbonbrief.org/explainer-wh…
Heat pumps are a highly efficient and mature technology for home heating.
"Yet, in major economies such as the UK and Germany, heat pumps are the subject of hostile and misleading reporting across many mainstream media outlets."

As the climate warms, the natural world is responding. In this case, the trees are blossoming earlier in the year.

A clear explainer by the authors of last week's AMOC shutdown paper
They propose a way that *may* let us spot when shutdown is imminent
NB they're *NOT* saying it is imminent or unavoidable (yet)
It would be devastating though - we must not risk it

Elon Musk tweets, "Farming has no material effect on climate change."
This is wrong. If you look at the data, you find that a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions are due to food production, the majority of these from farming.
