'The 2nd #Equinoxsummit (held on 26/03) marked significant progress & momentum in enhancing the connections between #climate #knowledge providers and users across Europe, which is its key goal', Frank McGovern of the Irish Environmental Protection Agency (@EPAIreland) said.

“The scale & pace of #climatechange poses unprecedented challenges for humanity,” said our Chair @JimSkeaIPCC at today's #CopenhagenClimateMinisterial. #IPCC has shown that we have the means & tools to address these challenges if we choose to use them.

Our forecast of the atmospheric CO2 rise for 2024 is out 🧵

To limit global warming to 1.5°C, the build-up of CO2 in the air would need to stop very soon

But with a rise of 2.84 ± 0.54 ppm expected this year, there's no sign that the CO2 rise is slowing

Two competing effects influence our northern winters:

#1 Global warming.

#2 Increasing polar air outbreaks due to stratospheric polar vortex disturbances.

In the long run #1 wins - our winters are getting warmer. 1/🧵

September 2023 Temperature Update 🔥

Warmest September & largest anomaly ever measured, shattering previous September record.

Warming since August concentrated in polar regions.

Near certain 2023 becomes the warmest year.

Likely 2023 exceeds 1.5 °C.
