This provides both a strong indication of a higher aerosol forcing (change) and a higher climate sensitivity (mainly from stronger cloud feedbacks).
If the aerosol forcing isn't stronger than in CMIP6 models, NASA CERES data indicates that ECS could be >6°C‼️

I’ve always hated this! Should be illegal! Factory trawler fishing should be banned.
There are over 10,000 illegal Chinese vessels “fishing” right now!
People can’t see it so there is no outrage and protest.

Blue whales are going eerily silent—and scientists say it’s a warning sign
A six-year study off California’s coast shows how marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the ocean’s largest singers. Does saving the ocean start with hearing it?

When we burn fossil fuels we risk higher temperatures and hence the destruction of life and ecosystems on Earth.
New studies show that destroying life and ecosystems directly today is just as bad as risking potential ecosystem destruction in the future. Wot? How? 🤯
