Today @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social and @wmo-global.bsky.social launch the European state of the climate Report 2024 👇 Thank you to the amazing editorial team and all those who contributed!

Looking forward to the release of the 2024 European State of the Climate next week on 15th April. You can have a glimpse on the amazing cover art already below. @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social @wmo-global.bsky.social

I was invited today together with Magali Paulus and René Winkin by Fanny Kinsch to the RTL Lëtzebuerg show « Background am Gespréich » to talk about #ClimateChange #ClimateAction and #Solutions You can rewatch our discussion in Luxembourgish here: www.rtl.lu/radio/backgr...

Excellent review in @thelancet.bsky.social on the state of the scientific literature on subject on post-growth and the relationship between human wellbeing, economic growth and planetary boundaries. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Interested in nature-based carbon capture or industrial CCUS? Register for this conference taking place on 5 February in Belval. www.uni.lu/en/events/th...

New post on The Climate Brink from Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social about our climate future. With current policies, we’re on track for a bit less than 3C, with 2030 NDCs we’re on track for about 2.5C, and with net zero pledges we’re on track for a bit less than 2C. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/moving-awa...

2024 war global das heißeste Jahr seit Beginn der Aufzeichnungen, mit 1,6 Grad über dem Temperaturniveau des späten 19. Jahrhunderts. Kleiner Thread mit Datengrafiken dazu. 🧵

From aming all the great charts that came out on Jan10 on 2024's climate, I like this one among the most. It shows nicely how the past two years have stood out not only from.the warming trend, but even from the extreme outliers from the warming trend. 2023-2024 were extreme among the extremes.

For all those scientists out there working on topics related to climate change mitigation and the Paris Agreement, now is the time to submit your great research abstracts to our EGU session. Deadline 15 January! Details below 👇

"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

I have a new analysis over at The Climate Brink exploring how rates of warming have changed over the past century. Post-1970, GHGs (CO2, CH4, etc.) would have led to just under 0.2C per decade, but falling aerosols (SO2) have increased that rate to 0.25C. www.theclimatebrink....

With all the news about the latest data showing that temperatures in 2024 were 1.6°C warmer than pre-industrial levels, many have asked what this means for the 1.5°C of the UN Paris Agreement. A short 🧵that aims to distinguish the signal from the noise (1)

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period. More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements, made by thousands of people over many decades, have been condensed into a single number.

Looking ahead to 2025, we expect it to be slightly cooler than 2023 and 2024 at around 1.4C above preindustrial levels, as El Nino has faded away and cooler conditions are developing in the tropical Pacific.

This is the first time in human history that annual global temperatures have exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels - a stark reminder that our window for decisive #ClimateAction is rapidly closing.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

The maximum number of members for the starter pack (150) has been reached. I will create a new one exclusively for journalists to free up space in this one. go.bsky.app/Qo8jop6

Is Europe alright?

The Luxembourg Climate Policy Observatory (OPC) is expanding from six to nine members. If you are interested to join the work you can apply until 2 February here: opc-luxembourg.lu/en/call-for-...

#AgriMeteo have also published their #climate analysis for 2024 based on the network distributed over the whole country of #Luxembourg and they measured the highest quantity of rain since 1854 (1195.7 mm, +357.3 mm or + 42.6 % more than 1991-2020). Details here: www.agrimeteo.lu/Internet/AM/...

While @meteolux.bsky.social is not posting here, I relay the information of the climate report of the station at Luxembourg airport (anomalies from 1991-2020 reference is parenthesis): 🌡️ 10.5 °C (+0.7°C) ☔1090.2 mm (+258.9 mm) 🌞1564.3 h (-238.6 h)

Amazing how eating less meat is better for people, animals and planet. Processed red meat contributes to dementia AND cancer, heart disease, diabetes, air+water pollution, climate warming methane emissions and even #birdflu ALL of which translate to more overall illness and healthcare cost.

2024 war deutlich zu warm und zu nass#DeutscherWetterdienst#Wetter#Klimawandel

Discussed this morning with Annick Goerens the main findings of the European State of the climate report #ESOTC on RTL Lëtzebuerg www.rtl.lu/radio/invite...

On my way to #Geneva by train for tomorrow’s launch of the European State of the Climate 2023 Report (#ESOTC), prepared for the first time jointly by World Meteorological Organization and Copernicus ECMWF wmo.int/events/meeti... climate.copernicus.eu/esotc-2023-c...

Traditionally each year on Easter Monday in #Luxembourg: the small bird-shaped terracotta whistles #Péckvillercher were on sale at #Éimaischen again 🐤 www.vdl.lu/en/visiting/...

Today, the Luxembourg Climate Policy Observatory (OPC) published an opinion addressed to the Luxembourg government on the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies.

Profited from a pause between showers for a nice walk in #Luxembourg on this #WorldMetDay World Meteorological Organization community is doing a tremendous job in collection data to document #ClimateChange

The World Meteorological Organization has today officially confirmed that 2023 is the warmest year on record, by a huge margin. We need urgent #climateaction now! Press release by WMO: wmo.int/media/news/w...

2023 was the warmest year on record globally by a large margin. Another dark red stripe gets added, though I think I need a new colour. #ShowYourStripes

If you want to understand the difference between meteo and climate and want to know how to become a climatologist you can listen to this interview (in Luxembourgish) with Christophe Hoschard RTL Lëtzebuerg www.rtl.lu/news/nationa...

With the meteorological data until 27/12 the year 2023 was the third warmest recorded in #Luxembourg since 1838. 2023 was also significantly wetter than the reference 1991-2020. #climate #climatechange #agrimeteo gouvernement.lu/fr/actualite...

Very honoured an pleased to present the latest findings of the IPCC to H.R.H. the Grand Duke of Luxembourg in the margins of COP28 monarchie.lu/en/node/3126

The Luxembourg Climate Policy Observatory has just published a statement with an analysis of the Luxembourgish Goverment’s coalition agreement 2023-2028. The statement is available on the OPC website: opc-luxembourg.lu/en/publicati...

New website online klima.lu with information about climate change and concrete actions everybody can do to fight it. @environment_lu

Very proud and honored that #agrimeteo is the first service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Viticulture and Rural Development to be presented in the video series #DatMaacheMir agriculture.public.lu/de/aktuelles...
