A few years ago a climate science colleague of mine said "When it gets really bad, they will blame us for not telling them how bad it would be."
Today - Alan Kohler made that prophecy come true in one of the most shameful examples of gaslighting I've ever seen.

As Trump abandons climate action, we must accept net zero won't happen
While markets and media were chasing Donald Trump’s tariff fiasco last week, something far more important was unfolding in East Palestine, Ohio.

The data is in.
2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period.
More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements have been condensed into a single vital number.

My new dark red climate stripe for 2024 shows it’s the hottest year yet
These ‘warming stripes’, adopted around the world as a symbol of climate awareness, action and ambition, now include another dark red stripe for 2024.

La Niña declarations seem to pop up in the media every other week. @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social and I set the record straight.

La Niña back this summer? Not likely – and unofficial declarations are jumping the gun
Reports of a rare summer La Niña are premature. It is also foolish to look at such climate drivers in isolation. But seasonal forecasting is becoming more complicated as the planet warms.

Our paper won a WRR Editor’s Choice award :)
We modelled shifts in spatial patterns of transpiration contributing to unexpectedly high ET during drought. Then climate warming and drought legacy effects led to non-recovery of streamflow postdrought.

This, along with the dismantling of the IRI, not great times for ENSO prediction. Stay strong NOAA/CPC NMME etc!
Sad to see the BoM El Niño/La Niña outlook service finish up. All good things must come to an end as they say. Focus now is on the rainfall and temperature outlooks.
