This week, we’re back to regular programming: talking about food systems. It’s not that I’ve lost interest in the shitshow we never voted to be a part of or that I’m no longer fuming. I just think there’s merit in the advice to focus on 1 or 2 things we care about. news.thin-ink.net/p/reasons-to...

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.
