It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. I won't bother calculating the chances of this happening against the late 20th century climate - let alone the pre-climate change climate - because the numbers would show it simply could never happen without global warming.
So let's talk about why this is happening. Since the last El Nino a couple of years ago the ocean has been rearranging its warm/cool water, as it typically does as a normal part of it's natural oscillation. (This summer a record ridge/ heat dome was parked over the N Pacific).
But each next time this configuration lines up (warm north Pacific/ cool tropical Pacific) it piles on a higher and higher baseline temperature over time due to greenhouse warming, air pollution reduction, and the feedbacks (clouds & direct insolation) of both. So we end up with the bottom chart which shows the standardized anomaly (departure from normal) is sloping upward at a very unnatural rate an alarming rate.

8/ Of course Zelensky had to make his point that Putin won't honor the "ceasefire". He does it diplomatically with a question to Vance (likely so as to not directly confront Trump on TV).

And then Vance see his chance. He commences the ambush.

The whole thing was a set up.

NASA data shows that the rate of global warming over the past 15 years was about 9 times as high as between 1880 and 1970!

There is more and more evidence that the rate of global warming has doubled since 2010!

[Leon Simons 🌍 @LeonSimons8]

As we mentioned two years ago, the rate of global warming might have doubled.

The past two years made more people realise what was already quite clear from the basic climate science.

Global heat uptake has doubled and atmospheric heating has quadrupled!

"Yes!"

What's happening to the Gulf of Mexico?

It jumped to the highest Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly to date:

20 MONTHS!

Global Sea Surface Temperatures have now been running above pre-2023 record highs for 20 months!

It's even worse than the crazy Super El Niño extrapolation I made when temperatures were already very high, up to June 10, 2023:

The 1991-2020 climate is ancient history.

We already live on a different planet.

First time during the NH summer that global average temperature is 1.5°C!

The August-July months generally see less global warming than the rest of the year, which makes this a notable 1.5°C milestone of its own.

Global warming has accelerated!

The science shows that the mean collapse time of the #AMOC is estimated at 2050, with a high probability before then. In the lifetime of most under 50 alive today, The #UK would cool by an average of 10°C. A new ice age for that region would be possible.

Buttigieg: I’m just astonished that people who have shown zero interest on confronting child labor on any of the other 158 products listed are suddenly concerned about it

Duarte: This is about subsidizing child labor

Buttigieg: Then why didn’t you vote for the provision to move it to US soil

It’s strange that it only seems to be left wing people who believe in physics and its consequences. 🤷🏼

Karachi is one giant oven. It's near 50C temperatures stretch the limits of human survivability daily. The ambulance service delivers 30 to 40 bodies to the #Karachi city morgue daily. In the last six days, they have collected 568 bodies, including 141 on Tuesday alone. #Climate

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.

(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
