With record-breaking heatwaves, France just had both its warmest June and July on record.
Systematic collection of weather data basically began in Western Europe, giving Europe the longest thermometer-based histories in the world.
After more than 250 years, we have changed the climate.

Sometimes I just hope that predictions are wrong
2027, on the other hand, is going to blow apart the record for the warmest year. 🤷

My entry into the warmest year discourse...
Over the years, I've used a couple of methods to estimate annual mean anomalies before they happen - using projected ENSO signals at the end of the previous year, or just from the relationship between the YTD data and the final annual average.

Ocean heat content increased by 23 billion trillion joules, which was around 39 times greater than global primary energy use this year. This is the largest rise in OHC since 2017; overall OHC has increased by over 500 zettajoules since the 1940s.

Unbelievable! Closing down NCAR will undoubtedly have severe impacts on future atmospheric research! It can hardly be measured how important NCAR is for the research of the atmosphere around the globe.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Breaking news: it appears Emperor penguin populations in Antarctica are declining faster than predicted.
Latest satellite data shows a massive 22% drop in penguin numbers over the last 15 years in key regions.
This is more than double the rate of loss that experts had expected...

I just published an explainer on aerosols and their role in the climate that I've been working on for the past few months! It includes both how aerosols work, how emissions have changed, and how thats driven recent warming: www.carbonbrief.org/...

Querdenker fantasieren, dass die seit Jahren abgeschafften Corona-Maßnahmen eine Diktatur gewesen seien. Und träumen, dass Putin sie befreit.
Putin hat seine Covid-Maßnahmen gerade bis Ende 2025 verlängert. Um weiter Proteste gegen seine Diktatur zu verbieten. Wie verkehrt kann man die Welt sehen.

North and South America saw the most wildfire activity in 2024 according to #CopernicusAtmosphere data. Europe had a relatively average season except for Portugal, some countries of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
