So proud to have launched this ...CliMonitor is a climate change disclosure / risk platform that enables an organisation to visually understand & disclose their climate-related risks.

@hausfath And on this trajectory it is 2.5+ by 2050. Hard to imagine, and terrifying when we do.

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.

Which is also why you should share it.

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@hausfath I think the term “unexpectedly” will soon be overused - at what point would you classify it to be entering a potential step change ?

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@hausfath Zeke - why do you select a different baseline - how do they look compared to preindustrial? We need to be using preindustrial for policy / Paris alignment.

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@LeonSimons8 Ah ok. Yeah def shows accelerated warming, and indication. I stick to 30-yr to stay aligned to WMO definition of climate. But i get your point.

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@hausfath How about pre-industrial, so people can see align to international agreements (ie Paris).

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

Nothing to see here. Keep exporting the coal and gas Australia.

Australia sweats through hottest spring on record as temperatures soar 2.5C above pre-industrial levels.

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

Plenty to talk about at Baku. Hopefully the talk includes transformational decarbonisation.

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@EliotJacobson Great - many thanks!

UNFCCC COP29 is going to be a hum dinger of a negotiation.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

Global surface temperatures from @BerkeleyEarth are now out for June. It was the warmest June on record for land, oceans, and the globe as a whole by a sizable margin (~0.14C), and came in at 1.6C above preindustrial levels.https://t.co/z7qNwZIuqS

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@EliotJacobson Thanks! How about a comparison to pre-industrial? All eyes are on pre-industrial for targets, Paris etc and would be good to always have temps against this baseline also...

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@SandyHorne61 you should check out this magic Australian who set up the Founder of International Nature Journaling Week - which is coming up ... https://t.co/7Fahbw6eW5

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@hausfath I think what is important to note is that the range leads to societal discounting of impacts. We are just under 1.5 and the impacts are already challenging insurance & soon to be mortgages. The impacts between 1.5 and 2C are profound - after that anyone’s guess.

[Donovan Burton @climateplanning]

@hausfath why not a pre-industrial base line? How does that look? Paris always refers pre-industrial, and shifting baselines confuses many.

I wonder if Scott Morrison will make the top 30 in Prime Minister rankings of Australia? https://t.co/PTh0t4f1Wd

@LicypriyaK a young Indian climate activist, just disrupted the High Level Session of #COP28 in Al Ghafat Hall by protesting to phase out fossil fuels and UAE Police has taken away her to unknown place. Kindly help her mother to trace her.
