Avalanche of records again in EUROPE Most important records in GERMANY were 10.5 Zugspitze previous last year, data since 1900! 18.6 Wernigerode-Schierke Summer continues in CYPRUS with more tropical nights: Min 21.3 Kyrenia Record again Air conditioning in November 24/7:Insane

Exceptional warmth in the United Kingdom: Two (and a third coming) consecutive nights with widespread Minimums 13C/15C with several records. Max. temperatures up to 19C,despite overcast skies and no sun contribution.

And if you don't like the very high emission scenario, here I've also plotted the low emissions scenario (SSP2-2.6). I even included the scribbly note and arrows, to keep things light. And increased the axes, to visualize the longer term and higher values.

In de #Alpen smelten de gletsjers in record tempo weg. Op de zuidpool gaat het er nog dramatischer aan toe. De #Hektoria-gletsjer (1) op het Antarctisch Schiereiland is in slechts 15 maanden 25 kilometer teruggetrokken!! De alarmerende terugtrekking van de Antarctische gletsjer is de snelste die ooit is waargenomen. De snelle smelting kan gevolgen hebben voor andere gletsjers en de snelheid waarmee de zeespiegel stijgt.

I've got that 'above the trendline' feeling this morning, and haven't even had a cup of coffee yet. Here's the latest on the 3-year running average for global sea-ice extent.

COAL STILL LEADS ON ELECTRICITY. 34.5% For 2024 coal generation led with 34.5% of total India was highest (73,4%)- much higher than China (58.4%), the second highest U.S. significant at 15.6% Global warming will continue to accelerate voronoiapp.com/energy/Coal-S… #climatechange #electricity #globalwarming

A new four-lane highway that cuts through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest was cut for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém. You can't be a climate leader if you're cutting down one of the world's greatest climate solutions to do it. #ActOnClimate #climate #cop30

Prince William: We are in 'a pivotal moment in human history... We are edging dangerously close to the Earths critical tipping points, thresholds beyond which the natural systems we depend on may begin to unravel.... These are not distant threats, they are fast approaching and will affect every one of us no matter where we live.' Prince William #Cop26 #Brazil #Climatecrisis

I'm sorry, but this is straw-grasping bollox Back in the real world, governments are rowing back on green measures and fossil fuel corporations are planning expansion I, and many others expect 2C to be exceeded by 2050 - perhaps even well before theguardian.com/environment/…

Continuing to pollute our minds & the planet. The world needs to stop this manipulation & denial, & invest in a global counter movement for truth. The truth of existential risks on our watch. Truth of sustainability as the only route to prosperity & equity theguardian.com/environment/…

What’s driving the upcoming record breaking cold snap?? It’s widespread warmth (up-to 30F above normal) and intense blocking in the Arctic/ Greenland/N Canada. That is squeezing out the (tropospheric) Cold Polar Vortex and forcing it south deep into the US. While it may be tempting to blame Global warming-low Arctic sea ice-& Arctic amplification for this, the climate change component is likely enhancing, but is not the primary driver. Teleconnections to various natural oscillations (and the stratosphere) working in tandem are often the culprit in these high latitude blocks. Climate change simply piggy backs and makes the blocking - and amp’d pattern - more extreme. (But it does NOT make the cold air, colder which is a common misconception)

This is wild. Despite having fueled one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, the waters in the vicinity of where Melissa tracked remain sufficiently warm to support the formation of a major hurricane.

HISTORIC WARMTH IN EUROPE Hundreds of records of November warmest night smashed with big margins from West to East Mins >14C in UK, >12 in Norway,Sweden,Denmark,>11 in Finland and Estonia. Records allover Scandinavia including Stockholm min 11.9 (data since 1800s),Uppsala etc

It is not looking good Understanding and predicting marine-terminating glacier instability presents one of the greatest challenges to forecasting future sea level rise. An extreme case of such instability is the Hektoria Glacier on the Eastern Antarctic Peninsula, which retreated ~25 km between January 2022 and March 2023. Here we investigate the dynamics and drivers of this retreat event primarily from analysis of geophysical data and satellite imagery. We find that retreat commenced immediately after the loss of decade-old fast ice in the Larsen B embayment and was associated with an almost 6-fold increase in flow speed and 40-fold increase in glacier thinning, relative to the period immediately before the fast ice loss. We also find that in November–December 2022, the glacier retreated a total of 8.2 ± 0.2 km in two months—a retreat rate nearly an order of magnitude faster than published values—and began with a transition from tabular iceberg calving to buoyancy-driven calving on an ice plain, a flat area where the glacier was only lightly grounded. Hence we conclude that in this case, retreat primarily resulted from an ice plain calving process, rather than atmospheric or oceanic conditions as suggested previously. This implies that marine-terminating glaciers with ice plain bed geometry can be easily destabilized.

CLIMATE SCIENCE IGNORES ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS The IPCC only projects global temperature increase and impacts to 2100, which ignores increasingly catastrophc impacts on all future generations. Warming continues (albeit slower) long after 2100, as shown here to 2300. cp.copernicus.org/articles/1… #climatechange. #globalwarming
