" "Today’s assessment from the World Meteorological Organization is clear:
Global heating is a cold, hard fact,"
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in a statement.
"There's still time to avoid the worst of climate catastrophe. But leaders must act
– now."

The planet's average temperature in 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius higher than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, C3S said.
The last 10 years have all been in the top 10 hottest years on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization. "

MastodonClimate News Now (@ClimateNewsNow@federated.press)2024 was the hottest year on record, scientists say. The WMO said climate change was pushing the planet's temperature to levels never before experienced by modern humans. #ClimateChange https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/2024-was-first-year-above-15c-global-warming-scientists-say-2025-01-10/

On the Jefferson Weather & Climate Records site, my colleague Alison Dolbier has posted an overview of the harsh winter of 1788-1789 in Europe that Jefferson, in Paris, recorded in his weather observations (and long remembered as a benchmark).

The Grand Canyon is more than a natural wonder. It’s also a record of Earth’s past climate. Scientists are studying the ancient rocks and fossils in the canyon to understand how the region has changed over millions of years. They hope to use this knowledge to predict how the Grand Canyon will respond to future climate impacts. #GrandCanyon #ClimateHistory #Paleontology eurasiareview.com/08102023-sci

Mrs. Eunice Foote demonstrated the greenhouse effect of CO2 in 1856. As Scientific American wrote: "Those who believe that this earth was once a fiery ball, attribute this ancient great atmospheric heat to the elevated temperature of the earth; but Mrs. Foot’s experiments attribute it to a more rational cause, and leave the Plutonists but a small foundation to stand upon for their theory."
