Look at all of this unnecessary traffic and waste of tax money due to the #King Charles visit in #Ottawa this morning. According to opinion polls, most Canadian's are against the #monarchy. This idea that #Canada should invite a foreign monarch to show #Trump how independent we are is crazy to me.

I find it astonishing that the IEA and NGFS #climate scenarios completely exclude high-end scenarios. It's one thing to exclude the much criticized SSP5, but they don't include no mitigation scenarios such as SSP3. This is completely inconsistent with the IPCC scenarios, including the upcoming ones.

It’s embarrassing, but there was a bug in my code where I was not applying the Wallis et al. adjustments to those 149 stations (194 was a typo), so the estimate I provided previously is missing about 0.0007°C of #warming. I am currently rerunning the code.

All surface temperature products for 2024 are now live.
All show 2024 is the warmest year (very clearly).
The estimates of the change since the pre-industrial (1850-1900) are more uncertain but range from 1.46 to 1.62ºC.
It is therefore *likely* this was the first year that exceeded 1.5ºC.
