The new GloSAT air temperature data extends observational estimates of global temperature change back to the year 1781. The data set paper is accompanied by a second study presenting new simulations of early industrial climate from 1750. Blog: climatelabbook.substack.com/p/new-estima...

Here's my visual explanation of why we have not yet reached 1.5°C even though 2024 was likely warmer than 1.5°C. 2024 shows us how close we are, but the underlying warming is still under 1.5°C.

2024 has recorded the highest temperature in any year since 1850 🌡🌍 This is the 11th year in succession that has equalled or exceeded 1.0°C above the pre-industrial average period A number of centres released their estimates today: www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...
