The Extreme Weather Report, January 23, 2025:
This is your weather on fossil fuels.

It is both the case that the 2% of the planet that is it United States is remarkably frigid at the moment, and that the world as a whole is at record-warm levels for this day of the year:

Without any equivocation, this is the most extreme "climate shock" that the Gulf Coast has witnessed ... nearly unprecedented since the Industrial Revolution.

The calendar says 2025, but it could be 1825 or the Little Ice Age.

No government can ever feasibly choose to ignore climate change or pandemics. You can't stop physics or biology by pretending that they don't exist. The only real choice governments make is how badly they and their people will suffer.

The war on the natural world and our climate intensifies today as #PresidentTrump takes to office.

The level of collapse so far, is a walk in the park to what's going to take place.

Entire communities, state after state ravaged and destroyed by floods or fire happening now.

Folks— see for yourself. Looked like the 3rd Reich salute to me.

Netanyahu says Trump "emphasized" to him that the ceasefire is "temporary," and Israel will have "full backing" to resume the war in Gaza. He says Trump has decided to "lift all the remaining restrictions" on US munitions, allowing Israel to resume the war with "tremendous force"

Global temperatures have started 2025 at record-setting levels – above where they were in January 2024 despite the emergence of modest La Nina conditions in the tropical Pacific.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

With half the month of data now in, its looking likely that January 2025 will end up quite close to 2024, and has a ~50% chance to set a new all-time record for the warmest January.

never going to invade canada with this attitude

The AI critics have been proved right about basically everything so far. But one thing that has surprised me is how much the companies are trying to FORCE us to look at GenAI. Top of every Google search. Bottom of every viral tweet. No way to let users turn off. Seems desperate.

Your annual reminder that, yes, global heating is also responsible for freak winter events.

[Ryan Maue @RyanWeather]

This is not normal. Something has changed ...

How much snow do we need to set the record for the 21st Century, 20th Century, and 19th Century along the Gulf Coast?

Asking b/c by early next week, there's potential for crippling winter storm from Houston to Jax, Florida including New Orleans.

👀That’s about 6.5% of California’s GDP. One disaster.

Ring cam footage from the Eaton fire in California. It was literally hurricane winds carrying those embers far and wide. There was no stopping it.

Even after the announcement of a ceasefire, reports indicate that the Israeli military is continuing to flatten the remaining residential blocks in northern Gaza, leaving displaced civilians with no homes to return to. Satellite images from January 2025 reveal widespread destruction in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun, alongside expanding tent camps in Gaza City—highlighting the mass displacement caused by the recent Israeli ground operation in northern Gaza.

If a final ceasefire agreement is not reached, Israel will likely target Gaza City next with the same tactics of systematic destruction and displacement.

Could Vancouver burn like L.A.? Yes, says Vancouver author of Fire Weather https://t.co/57O3hzzIDz

"The global economy could face 50% loss in GDP between 2070 and 2090 from the catastrophic shocks of climate change unless immediate action by political leaders is taken to decarbonise and restore nature."

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

People need to stop using masks as a political football. The reality is that climate change & pandemics are here to stay & increasing in threat. We need to help people protect themselves & their communities by raising awareness about best practices & distributing masks for free.
