For the period May 1-21, CO2 at Mauna Loa has averaged 430.74 ppm. Last December the Climate Casino set the Over/Under line at 430.70 ppm for May's peak this year. The annual CO2 peak is always an exciting time at the Climate Casino. Come for the action, stay for the doom! And we have cookies!

Yes, Antarctic sea-ice extent has been crashing, with the 3-year running average recently setting a new record low, down nearly 20% from its 2016 peak and more than 10% from its long-term average. The 3-year running average smoothes out short-term anomalies and tells the story:

Your 'moment of doom' for May 14, 2025 ~ Sooner than expected. “We’re witnessing ice dynamics that simply shouldn’t happen on these timescales. The acceleration pattern suggests we’ve potentially crossed a critical threshold that our models didn’t anticipate until the 2040s.”

Honestly, I'm rooting for the tornadoes.

Your 'moment of doom' for May 21, 2025 ~ Feedback loop alert! "as the Arctic warms, clouds shift from containing mostly ice to more liquid, which increases their ability to trap heat, further warming the Arctic and creating a positive feedback loop." phys.org/news/2025-05...

As hurricane season approaches, the Gulf of Karankawa* is trending hotter, now 4th hottest for the day, and once again more than 1°C above the 1991-2020 mean. The Climate Casino previously announced an Over/Under of 5 for the number of Category 5 hurricanes. *formerly, the 'Gulf of Mexico'

Die Trinkwasserkosten in Deutschland werden explodieren – schneller als die Einkommen. Wasser wird zum Luxusgut. Und die Schuld? Die gibt man natürlich den Grünen – der einzigen Partei, die seit Jahrzehnten vor Umweltzerstörung und Klimawandel warnt. www.umweltbundesamt.de/themen/wasse...

Keinen Monat im Amt und CDU-Wirtschaftsministerin stellt sich hin, um: 👉🏼 von "mind. 20 Gigawatt Gaskraftwerken" zu sprechen. 👉🏼 den "Zwang zur Wärmepumpe" zu beenden (den es nie gab) 👉🏼 sich wie heute in Brüssel für neue Gelder bei der Atomkraft auszusprechen. Die fossile Lobby lässt die 🍾 knallen.

When I see this I am reminded that before she was 10, my daughter had already seen more days over 43°C in Melbourne than my father did in his entire lifetime. (People assume lifetime = their life)

Dank #CDUCSU_Merz_Söder_AfD_FDP_BSW würde ich nicht mehr "hinter dem Deich bauen". Die #Klimakrise eskaliert und #Merz_Reiche_Spahn_Dobrindt_Linnemann schauen weg: www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...

Omg, ich kann nicht mehr 😂 Ich habe ein Chatbot gefragt, ob es ähnlich wie zu "södern" auch eine Definition zu "merzeln" gibt. 🧵

Welche Maßnahmen will der neue CSU-Landwirtschaftsminister Rainer @bmel.de umsetzen, um die Landwirtschaft fit für die Klimakrise und die dadurch vermehrt auftretenden Ereignisse wie Dürre oder Starkregen zu machen? Aktuell sieht es so aus:

This new paper, which documents why 1.5 degrees is too high for polar ice sheets to survive, should focus all of our our attention on the immediate consequences of our warming world. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Katherina Reiche hat es geschafft, in den ersten Tagen ihrer Amtszeit fast täglich eine Schlagzeile zu erzeugen, die ihren fossilen Kurs verdeutlicht. Die Aussagen werden auch nicht weniger klimafeindlich durch ein Bekenntnis zu Klimazielen, dafür bräuchte es konkrete Maßnahmen.

Europa ist nicht auf die zunehmenden Extremwetterereignisse vorbereitet. "Überbetonter Klimaschutz" rettet Menschenleben!

'Homes have been inundated and people are on their roofs amid record flooding on the New South Wales Mid North Coast. The Manning River is flooding at a level never seen before at Taree, surpassing the 1929 record of six metres early this morning, and is still rising.'

Only 2% of Australia's population lives in the yellow area. 98% live in the white area.

Viele Landwirte bangen gerade darum, ob auf ihren Feldern überhaupt etwas wächst, so trocken ist es. Im Bundeslandwirtschaftsministerium gibt man sich derweil in der RegPK entspannt, erstmal gucken wie schlimm es wird, es war doch in der Vergangenheit auch schon trocken.

This animation shows how temperatures have changed over the last 100 years for each February-April period. On each map, red shading indicates warmer than average conditions, and blue shading shows the opposite. Note the trend. Data from NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...).

Seit über 30 Jahren warnen Klimaforscher vor Extremregen durch #Erderwärmung: die Physik sagt es, die Modelle auch, die Messdaten zeigen seit den 1990ern die signifikante Zunahme. Gestern Frankreich, heute Australien. Es wird schlimmer, solange wir Abwiegler wählen. www.tagesschau.de/ausland/ozea...

Muss ich noch erwähnen, dass Extremniederschläge durch die Erderwärmung stark zunehmen? Das werden sie auch weiter tun, bis wir die Erwärmung gestoppt haben, d.h. klimaneutral wirtschaften. Drei Tote bei Unwetter in Südfrankreich www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

Not really a surprise We are already committed to a 12m+ sea-level rise, sufficient to drown every coastal town and city on the planet The only question is how long will this take www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#SeaLevelRise will become unmanageable at just 1.5C of global heating and lead to “catastrophic inland migration”, the scientists behind a new study have warned. #ClimateCrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...
