Incredible warmth in the Arctic and across pretty much all of Canada through first half of January 2021.
Large areas more than +10°C warmer than normal. Also widespread warmth across North Africa and Tibetan Plateau.
Brutal cold in central and eastern Asia. Chilly W and N EU.
Some of the world's #glaciers experience "surges" during which they are flowing much faster than usual and can advance dramatically, posing a threat to downstream infrastructures. Here is a surge observed from space (source: @EGU_TC https://t.co/jQafAP9cEe) 1/n
Partial differential equations are kind of magical—and notoriously hard to solve. A new deep-learning technique has cracked them. https://t.co/aDepv6jT3T
New article in @nature: '#EcosystemRestoration can help mitigate #ClimateChange at low costs'
'Conserving ecosystems & restoring 30% of converted land could mitigate 71±4% of extinction debt & sequester 465±59 gigatonnes CO2—49% of CO2 since Indus. Rev.'

Will #nature be able to sue people for the damage they inflict? Should the focus be on rights or responsibilities or both?

Extreme heat again on the fringe of Arctic.
We are looking at temperatures 15-20 °C warmer than normal in Northern Siberia for consecutive days.
Wildfires continue to rage and sea ice continues to deplete.
[1/5]
So it goes - anomalous (even record-breaking: https://t.co/DlEH9RdRkF) warmth continues in parts of Siberia (shifted a bit to the east)... 🔥
