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!

Copernicus ECMWF@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social · last yr.

The #ESOTC2024 report is out! Explore the contrasts across Europe, from the dry and often record-warm conditions in the east to warm but wet conditions in the west. #ESOTC2024 is a joint effort between #CopernicusClimate and @wmo-global.bsky.social, together with over 100 scientists. bit.ly/3G9MdEX

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...

Post-growth: the science of wellbeing within planetary boundaries

There are increasing concerns that continued economic growth in high-income countries might not be environmentally sustainable, socially beneficial, or economically achievable. In this Review, we expl...

The potential of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) in Luxembourg

Carbon management involves reducing emissions and using a set of nature- or technology-based solutions to capture, store, transport and use atmospheric

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...

Moving away from high-end emissions scenarios

I have a new commentary in Dialogues on Climate Change exploring climate outcomes in current policy scenarios

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 👇

Andrew MacDougall@ahmacdougall.bsky.social · 2y ago

It's January, which means the EGU abstract Submission deadline is fast approaching: Jan 15th! So if you're in the net-zero world please take a look at: Towards net zero and beyond: remaining carbon budgets, negative emissions, mitigation pathways and implications for policy

"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.

Copernicus ECMWF@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social · 2y ago

2024 was the warmest year on record with an average global temperature 1.6°C above pre-industrial level. It's the first year to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial level, with every month but one since July 23 surpassing this threshold. Full Global Climate Highlights 2024: https://bit.ly/40kQpcz

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.

#PlanetaryHealth and #Brain and #MentalHealth "People...who ate at least two servings per week of processed red meat (such as bacon, bologna or hot dogs) had a 14% increased risk of #dementia, compared to those who ate less... after the 43-year follow-up period." www.nbcnews.com/health/aging...

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...

WMO confirms that 2023 smashes global temperature record

The annual average global temperature approached 1.5° Celsius above pre-industrial levels – symbolic because the Paris Agreement on climate change aims to limit the long-term temperature increase (...

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
