We've released the Berkeley Earth temperature update for January 2025: berkeleyearth.org/ja... It was the warmest January on record at 1.64C above preindustrial levels, and 0.09°C above the prior record set in 2024.

We can’t yet be sure if we’ve reached the Paris Agreement threshold of 1.5°C (2.7°F) of warming. But if we haven’t, we’re probably about to, according to two new @natclimchange.bsky.social studies. eos.org/articles/wer...

January 2025 was quite unexpectedly the warmest January on record at 1.75C above preindustrial, beating the prior record set in 2024. This is despite the presence of La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific, with the El Niño event of 2023/2024 long faded. www.theclimatebrink....

Despite the recent cold in the USA, and the presence of a (weak) La Niña in the Pacific, January is on track to be the warmest January on record. 😬

For the last 50 years, burning fossil fuels have provided ~80% of humanity's energy needs. It has taken longer than many of us would like, but the rapid growth in solar and wind is now poised to take a large bite out of fossil fuels' share over the next 10-20 years.

Hey #EnergySky: on Wed., I am talking to @hausfath.bsky.social about everyone's favorite subject, rock weathering! Specifically, weathering rocks as a way of capturing & sequestering CO2. Apparently this is the carbon removal method that might actually work at scale. Got any questions?

Global temperatures have started 2025 at record-setting levels – above where they were in January 2024 despite the emergence of modest La Nina conditions in the tropical Pacific.

Today at #AMS25: @berkeleyearth.org will be presenting our new work downscaling climate models using a multi-modal approach and encompassing the full global field. 📍Find us at Session 14B, room 243 at 2pm. Remote access is available via AMS.

All surface temperature products for 2024 are now live. All show 2024 is the warmest year (very clearly). The estimates of the change since the pre-industrial (1850-1900) are more uncertain but range from 1.46 to 1.62ºC. It is therefore likely this was the first year that exceeded 1.5ºC.

The world is warming faster than expected. 2024 was the hottest on record, during which more than 3.3 billion people experienced record heat. Reports from NASA, NOAA, & @berkeleyearth.org, story by @astrokimcartier.bsky.social. 🧪 eos.org/articles/exc...

Its pretty stark just how much warmer 2023 and 2024 were globally than any prior year on record. For more details, see our Berkeley Earth global temperature report here: berkeleyearth.org/gl...

🚨 Global Temperature Report for 2024 2024 was the hottest year since instrumental measurements began. 3.3 billion people had their locally warmest year. The warming rate appears to have increased, likely due to reductions in aerosol pollution & cloud cover. berkeleyearth.org/global-tempe... 🧵

It's almost time! Berkeley Earth's Global Temperature Report for 2024 will come out tomorrow. If you are a journalist who requested an embargoed copy, then you should have already received it. For new requests, or if it didn't arrive, please contact [email protected]

Berkeley Earth will be releasing our annual Temperature Report on Friday. It will summarize how global & regional temperatures behaved in 2024 and the current state of climate change. For journalists who would like an embargoed early copy, please email [email protected].

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).

When it occurred, 2016 was striking as the hottest directly measured year up until that point. Eight years later, 2024 will set a new record for the hottest year. 2024 will be ~0.25 °C (~0.45 °F) hotter than 2016.

Today at #AGU24: In a session co-chaired by BE's @hausfath.bsky.social, @rarohde.bsky.social will be diving into the factors, both well-defined and more unexpected, that contributed to 2023's record-setting ("gobsmackingly bananas") extreme heat. Find us at: 📍GC23K-02 / Salon A ⏰ 14:21 - 14:33

Heading over to the AGU in DC! Happy to meet up with folks while I’m there, and make sure to come to our session on explaining 2023’s exceptional heat. It’s on Tuesday (posters in the morning, talks in the afternoon): eppro01.ativ.me/appinfo.php?...

"If you stop doing something bad for the environment, but it has a warming effect on the climate, are you geoengineering?" Read @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social on what happens when cleaning up pollution means more warming, feat. @danvisioni.bsky.social and @hausfath.bsky.social:

I'll be giving a talk at The Collider (1 Haywood Street, Suite 401) in Asheville tomorrow night at 7 PM about current climate trends and where we are headed. Feel free to come by if you are in town! Details here: docs.google.com/docu...

NEW from Berkeley Earth: It's likely that the long-term average of global temperatures will exceed the #ParisClimateAgreement 1.5°C goal during the late 2020s or early 2030s... UNLESS we significantly reduce #GreenhouseGas emissions SOON. @berkeleyearth.org berkeleyearth.org/october-2024...
