📈🚨NEW: Extreme heat events are increasingly threatening to become mass mortality events. In @natclimate.nature.com today, we project tens of thousands of deaths in a single week across Europe if extreme heat domes coincide with rising global temperatures.

Increasing risk of mass human heat mortality if historical weather patterns recur - Nature Climate Change
The authors couple calculations of historical heatwave intensity at present and future global temperatures with exposure–response functions to quantify mortality from extreme heat events in Europe. Th...

For the first time ever all the producers of operational surface temperature products will coordinate their 2024 releases on Jan 10.

This includes NASA, NOAA, Hadley Centre/CRU, Berkeley Earth and Copernicus (ECMWF).
🌡️ 2024 saw repeated record breaking temperatures.

📈On 10 January, we're releasing the Global Climate Highlights, covering the key data from the 2024 climate, including temperature, sea ice and greenhouse gas d#CopernicusClimatelimate

How did global air temperatures vary before 1850?

We can now answer this from direct instrumental observations.

The new GloSAT dataset is under review!

Hey @climatebrad.hillheat.com: I've got one for your climate-denier blocklist, @orwell2022.bsky.social. By misunderstanding/ignoring the math of spatial averaging, he's decided that climate scientists know nothing about the urban heat island (UHI) effect. He's brought his Twitter shtick over here.
