It's high time I updated my Playlist for the Global Greenhouse - If anyone is looking for a soundtrack for the heatwave, here it is: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

35°C is normal, we used to just call that summer! Here's how many summers topped 32°C 70s 4 80s 2 90s 8 2000s 6 2010s all of them 2020s all of them And here's how many summers topped 35°C 70s 1 80s 0 90s 2 2000s 2 2010s 3 2020s 4 (out of 6 so far)

It remains a classic - thankyou @micefearboggis.bsky.social for reminding us it's not actually about the rankings..

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

Irony is dead

Announcement: the new version of CRU-TS (v4.10) running through to December 2025 is now released. This is the first update we've completed since the retirement of Ian 'Harry' Harris who maintained CRU-TS for many years. Andrew Friedman has now taken on this role. crudata.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/hrg/

reupping this: this is a paper I would very much love to read. seems like certain things (european temp extremes) are happening earlier than certain entities forecasted while other impacts (retreat in glacier national park) have been slower and would loooove to read a meta analysis of why, etc.

Great datavis! interactive.carbonbrief.org/cosmos/metho...

I was feeling a little sad but then I read this from @micefearboggis.bsky.social and was much better¹ immediately. diagrammonkey.wordpress.com/2021/11/17/t...

There is the risk that some events at London Climate Action Week will be cancelled this week because of an extraordinary heatwave. The @metoffice.gov.uk has just upgraded to red alert on Wedneday with London at 40°C. Previous June record was 35.6°C. This is an emergency.

Cycle plots! And counter-intuitive changes in climate! Two of my favorite dataviz things!

super interesting report comparing seven investor-facing private climate risk vendors investorleadershipnetwork.org/wp-content/u...

It's the annual average for that year. But the point about the "scale compression" effect is quite important! There is a variant nowadays with bars and scales on the #ShowYourStripes website showyourstripes.info/c/southameri... showyourstripes.info/c/northameri... 2/2

Today is #showyourstripes day. 📊 You may understand them on an intuitive level, but they're more complex than it seems. "The difference in value between Canada’s extremes (dark blue, dark red) is much greater than the difference between Chile’s. Yet, the darkest hues are the same."

This free fabulous interactive tool is both fascinating and essential. You can click on any location in the world and see its average weather and how it's changed over time. The data shown is from where I grew up & the heating is obvious. Do share! era-explorer.climate.copernicus.eu?lat=50.86&ln...

No surprises here - #Arctic Ocean stripes are off the scale. The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else in the world. #ShowYourStripes ➡️ Explore your own climate change stripes: showyourstripes.info (Global) and app.climatecentral.org/dataviz/warm... (U.S.) What's it like in your area?

Today is #ShowYourStripes day! This year, St Michael's Tower atop Glastonbury Tor is encouraging everyone to use the Climate Stripes to start a conversation about climate change and the actions they are taking. Thank you @nationaltrust.org.uk! Graphics: www.ShowYourStripes.info

On occasion of #ShowYourStripes day take a look at the covers of Kyrgyzstan's NDCs! (You might notice that a dark red stripe has been added to the 2025 submission compared with the 2021 NDC.) openclimatedata.net/ndcs/kyrgyzs...

www.inkandswitch.com/tangents/art... hey, have you read this? :))

A really, really good read!

I keep seeing charts like this: whether it's an SST or a surface temperature. In these charts I'd love to wind the clock back to the same chart for the time when the record jumped this much. Might be able to find it but a record jumping this much so "out-of-season" seems freakish. Sign of the times.

This is why I spoke to Jean-Baptiste Fressoz, whose book More and More and More is being used by climate delayers. Check out the full interview 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We made it! The Climate Classic, shortened to 125 km because of the heat. When we arrived at 12:40, well before solar noon, it was already 30°C at the finish line on the KNMI Meteorological campus, De Bilt.

Matilda.science is back online with all services thanks to @huma-num.bsky.social. A lot of new texts, references links and full-text indexations coming tonight.

Model-based studies often reflect Global North narratives in scenario databases, assume persistent inequalities, obscure ethical or normative choices behind justice, & fail to systematically include stakeholders & scientists from the Global South. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Every time COP-1 is mentioned on the socials i'm obliged to link this documentation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9LL...

By the way, I mentioned the cold blob in this February 1995 newspaper article about the risk of #AMOC instability: “While the planet has warmed considerably in the past decades, one region is increasingly cooling: the Atlantic south of Greenland. Sign of a weakening ocean heat pump?”

Icy people wrote a whole paper on this and other ideas like it last year. www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci...

📢New paper in open review, by @tarokuni.bsky.social and me.

As is the annual tradition, we hope many of you will take the opportunity to use the Climate Stripes this week to start important conversations about the risks from, and solutions to, climate change. Officially, #ShowYourStripes for 2026 is on Sat 20th June. www.ShowYourStripes.info

📢Guess what this means. On Saturday, the total number of electric passenger cars in Norway just pipped over 1 million. 🚗🔌

Glad to see my global climate visualization featured by Maps.com! The project includes both static and interactive maps that reimagine the Köppen climate classification through cartographic design. Check it out: www.maps.com/koppen-clima... #dataviz #datavisualization #climate #cartography

I'm proud of this new viz of AMOC that our graphics team produced, with big help from Susan Lozier. We wanted to move past the "conveyor belt," and render AMOC as more of a belt of belts, while also including the gyres/Gulf Stream and the broadened view of deepwater formation. I think we did!

Now with some more color and tooltips! openclimatedata.net/countries/no...
