+ Paper: essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...
Line graph time series of global fossil CO2 emissions since the late 1950s to 2024. 2024 is at record high levels of 37.4 Gt CO2, which is an increase of 0.8%. Historical events, such as the first oil crisis and COVID-19 are annotated.

Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 3rd lowest on record (JAXA data)

• about 540,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,730,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 2,840,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 3,500,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Plots zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...
Line graph time series of 2024's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with white for the 1980s, green for the 1990s, blue for the 2000s, and purple for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2002 to 2022. 2024 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between July and October by looking at the decadal average line positions.
