Breaking News!
Code UFB!!!
For the first time in recorded history, the 365-day running mean reached the Paris limit of 1.50°C in ERA5 data.
The graph below shows the 365-day running mean, noting a few benchmarks we've hit along the way.

This, folks, is why we already have no choice, but to implement multiple forms of solar reflection to tamp down heat for about a century.
We need 30 years to get off of fossil fuels, and then we need at least another 100 to get carbon levels back under 350ppm.
SRM or bust!

Damn. That is a sharp turn for any high population trend line.
Keep telling yourselves Covid is mild, folks.
That abrupt turn ain't from nothin'
New data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor:
The number of people with a disability dramatically increased & hit a new record of 34 million in June 2023.
#LongCovid is a mass disabling event.
ALT graph of population of a disability increasing from 27 million in 2008 to 34 million in 2023
And some people say we don't live in an Oligarchy.
🚨The FBI says criminals may be using giant investment funds to launder money.
But those investment funds spent big on lobbying & got lawmakers to exempt them from anti-money-laundering disclosure paperwork that small businesses are now buried in. levernews.com/the-oligarch-e…
Bill's right, this is excellent.
If you only watch one online video this week...

“A 1-acre solar farm produces as much energy as 100 acres of corn-based ethanol over the course of a year. Dedicating even a fraction of the land now devoted to ethanol to solar panels would produce more energy and ease the ecological burden on our most prolific farming region.”

If you are under 75 years old, and this doesn't terrify you, then you have rocks in your head.
As in, literal rocks.
Jan 2024: 'preliminary estimates tentatively forecast climate-related extinction of 14%–32% of macroscopic species in the next ~50 years, potentially including 3–6 million (or more) animal and plant species, even under intermediate climate change scenarios'onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Probably the most wilfully ignored trend in the world - that the rate at which global temperature is increasing - is itself increasing.
Why is it being ignored? Because it means we are heading for #extinction. Just being blunt.
Global warming is accelerating. 2023 was Earth's hottest year on record by a large margin, ~0.16C warmer than 2016 or 2020. Data sources: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/ and cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data.

To understand global temperatures, it's crucial to understand what happens with all the energy of the sunlight reaching Earth.
I'm writing an explainer, which I will share soon.
The graphic is already looking great.

As scientists, we are increasingly being asked to tell the public the truth about the crises we face in simple and direct terms. The truth is that we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023. We are afraid of the uncharted territory that we have now entered.
This summed up our experience of 2023, as it happened.
It's been an honor to be part of this crucial research, led by the great @WilliamJRipple and Christopher Wolf.
