New research🚨HERI's @rienekeweij debunks long-held assumptions about ice age climates in the Southern Hemisphere. In nature, it shows ice ages were wetter than today and may have been ideal for plants, animals & early humans over the last 350,000 yrs 👉🏾bit.ly/3HRz4hu

While there is a slight increase in Government investment in R&D from 2022-23 to 2023-24, Australia is still well below the OECD average and needs a 10-year plan to reverse the trend. Our current science system lacks strategy and coherence—and our nation’s continued

My first day University of Melbourne. I am very excited to be joining SGEAS and to be part of the Melbourne geo community again. Today was also my Dad’s last day in his current position in the same school

“What the fuck do we have to do to get through to people how bad this really is?” Btw, my response was a warming of 3C, in line with many of my IPCC colleagues… theguardian.com/environment/ng…

It may be too much to take in all at once, but h/t to leon simons for pointing me to NOAA ERSST V5 SST monthly data beginning 1854, current through March, 2024. I included the 50 year average for 1900-1949 for good measure. This really is the beginning of the end of everything.

Here is an short animation of the monthly global surface temperatures, 1940 - present, with a quadratic trendline.

The last 12 months have seen global temperatures at 1.63°C above pre-industrial levels, according to Copernicus ECMWF. May 2024 was the 12th consecutive month for which the global average temperature reached a record value for the corresponding month, based on ERA5 data.

A year of record breaking global temperatures

It was the economy.

Meanwhile at Microsoft headquarters.. 😅

Breaking News! On July 21, 2024, the global mean surface temperature set a new modern record high of 17.09°C, beating the record of 17.07°C, set on July 6, 2023. This record is "preliminary" for the next 24 hours. This may mark the planet's warmest day in over 100k years.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! The preliminary global surface temperature for July 22 just came in at 17.15°C, obliterating the previous record set just yesterday of 17.09°C.

Gooooold!
