The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.
Its hard to overstate just how exceptionally high global temperatures are at the moment. They have blown past anything we've previously experienced by a huge margin.
Over at The Climate Brink, we try and visualize this summer of extremes in seven charts. https://t.co/yApwMbyxgG
1/7 Our new paper is out!! Our recent study shows nine years of #methane emissions (between 2010 and 2018) using ~600 lower troposphere aircraft vertical profiles over four regions in #Amazonia (the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast)

In February, @IEA will launch an expanded version of our pioneering Global Methane Tracker, providing regular country-by-country updates on methane emissions from oil, gas & coal
It will show where & how these emissions can be cut – & what policymakers can do to step up progress
New piece @johnpodesta and I just did on Glasgow and Biden admin. Biden team doing very well. Glasgow tees up 2022 as pivotal for 1.5. We need a high ambition coalition to convince China that it needs to make a major 2030 move for its own sake. https://t.co/S5q8zheX51
Just got an invite to a tech and sustainability conference. This was their diversity boast. A) 20% female is nothing to show off about B) The women pictured don't look particularly representative of the world.
"Almost a million wells are quietly belching methane. The new rule could halve emissions."
@EPA must tackle smaller, leak-prone wells and flaring to #ActOnClimate. More via @emilypont & @NaveenaSivam: https://t.co/2VWGXVeeVv
China, the world's biggest emitter of #CoalMineMethane, announces today it will "publish a nationwide methane emission control action plan"👏

@EDFEnergyEX@EPA@KSLcom The reported national rate. I think this is more the norm than the exception but we won’t know until there is more comprehensive real time monitoring of oil, gas and the waste sector.
The #GlobalMethanePledge is seen as one of the biggest achievements of COP26 for its potential to quickly limit global warming while reducing air pollution.
The CCAC is stepping up support to countries to #cutmethane by emissions 2030.

It's my birthday *and* it's the final day of #TransAwarenessWeek2021 The only gift I want to get 2-time #Jeopardy champ @Jeopardamy to 5000 followers so we can cheer her on in game 3 tonight! Please RT to get the word out! 🏳️⚧️⚧🥳
My two cents: So much good came out of #COP26 e.g.
✅Global methane pledge
✅Article 6 rulebook
✅Cooperation agreement between China U.S.
✅India climate commitment
✅Sustainable aviation fuel standard
✅A pledge to end deforestation
Let's go! https://t.co/ju0UUV6826
