It’s too far north to fit into the map, i’d have to shrink the map too much - I used to include the boxed version but people complained about that too so I removed it entirely.
Thunderstorms there are rare enough that it doesn’t really need including, not to mention zero people there follow me

Created by Ed Hawkins the stripes in my opinion have done more to encourage climate discussions than anything else.
You can see how much your own area has warmed here;

*Why is the source irrelevant?
Most wildfires do not start naturally, human activity, be it accidental or intentional is usually to blame, climate change is increasing the fuel which allows more intense fires to develop and spread.
Fires cannot burn unless conditions are right

Nice find!
I assumed it wouldn’t be overly simple 😂

Is there a reliable formula for working out heat vs soil saturation? Would be interesting to see what max temperatures would have been if Spain had seen a very dry spring. Especially given widespread 40C readings seem entirely plausible this weekend!

The fact there is even a statistical likelihood of a year where global temperatures breach 2°C is rather shocking & shows how rapidly our planet is warming.
That % likelihood will only increase in the coming decade.

It's estimated that a ChatGPT prompt uses upwards of 10x the amount of electricity as a traditional google search. AI is a growing threat to net-carbon goals with it likely out-pacing efforts so far within a couple of years.

It has nothing to do with volcanoes. If volcanic eruptions had caused this we'd be in a huge amount of trouble and believe me, we'd know about it.
It's caused by the persistent area of high pressure.

That’s because the chart you’re showing isn’t a sea surface temperature anomaly chart 👍🏻

Climate change leaked from a chinese lab!

It’s more about the context than that definition necessarily gives you.
Something can be “phenomenally bad” for example, phenomenal can mean extreme, extraordinary, “phenomenal seas” for example would be stormy, huge waves, etc
