@hausfath@randal_olson From the reddit post (https://t.co/KufnRs8aAA) "What's visualized are the wind patterns at 500hpa pressure levels along with the 2 meter air temperature." https://t.co/XWXZSHYPaL
Since late June 2025, much of Europe has been affected by an intense heatwave. 🌡️
This #VideoOfTheDay, based on #CopernicusEU#Sentinel3 land surface temperature data, shows values exceeding 50 °C (in deep red). 🔴🟡🟢🔵

☀️ A marine heatwave is ongoing in the Mediterranean Sea.
This data visualisation, based on @CMEMS_EU data, shows sea surface temperature anomalies recorded on 22 June.
Areas in dark🔴 indicate temperatures more than 5°C above the seasonal average.

The argument that urban heat islands are biasing temperature records continually comes up. There is a long history of papers showing it's effect minimal globally (and the world is 70% oceans with no urbanization). My colleague @RARohde has a neat updated analysis for global land: https://t.co/hQiBaSGX0s
Check out the updated interactive climate dashboard to track the metrics in our new Indicators of Global Climate Change 2024 report: https://t.co/JgPkktSDln
Our new paper updating key metrics in the IPCC is now out, and the news is grim:
⬆️ Human induced warming now at 1.36C
⬆️ Rate of warming now 0.27C / decade
⬆️ Sharp increase in Earth's energy imbalance
⬇️ Remaining 1.5C carbon budget only 130 GtCO2
The world is on track for 2.5C-2.9C of heating, which would almost certainly be beyond tipping points for the collapse of the Greenland & west Antarctic ice sheets. The melting of those ice sheets would lead to 12 metres of sea level rise.
How will the displaced look back at us?
The world has warmed more than 1.1C since the first Earth day in 1970, with the fastest warming occurring over land (where we all live!) and in higher latitude regions:
Still looking for someone to join the VistaMilk team around grass growth prediction. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Perpetual reminder: Increasing heat and rainfall extremes are now far outside the historical climate. Globally. It’s what physics has predicted as a result of fossil fuel emissions, and it’s what weather station data show. It is happening now.

Einstein argued that science education without a complementary humanities course of study would lead to students “who would more closely resemble a well-trained dog than a harmoniously developed person.”
Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.
In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.
New study finds the AMOC is *not* slowing yet.
This conflicts with other recent papers predicting "doom and gloom" based on mostly using surface temperatures that don't predict the AMOC well.
I annotated (in red) what I think is their most telling graph.

How is a heated climate setting the stage for bigger, more destructive, faster spreading CA fires? While climate change is impacting weather patterns, and increasing weather whiplash, the main driver is “relative” drying striping the terrain of moisture. Here’s how it works…
I have a new paper in Dialogues on Climate Change exploring climate outcomes under current policies. I find that we are likely headed toward 2.7C by 2100 (with uncertainties from 1.9C to 3.7C), and that high end emissions scenarios have become much less likely
Wildfires are growing much faster than they have before in California and other Western states. "From 2001 to 2020, the average peak daily growth rate for these fires more than doubled (+249% relative to 2001) in the Western US." https://t.co/n8SrCEHv8R
