Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.

We are in the decade where the 1.5°C limit is likely to be exceeded, highlighting the accelerating pace of climate change
Average global temperature for 2023–2025 is likely to exceed 1.5°C, the first three-year average to do so 🌡️🌏🧪⚒️

50% of the increase was from land-use change, primarily due to more fires during El Niño. We expect this to drop in 2025. LUC is also very uncertain.
All other main regions, except EU27, with rising emissions in 2024.

Diese zeigen, wie sich das Schweizer Klima verändert, wenn die globale Mitteltemperatur z.B. um 3 Grad steigt.
