“According to a preliminary estimate, the global average surface temperature on 17 November was more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time.

“Our best estimate is that this was the first day when #GlobalTemperature was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C,” #ClimateEmergency https://fediscience.org/@MichaelEMann/111444023654867279

Global 2m surface temperatures spiked to 1.98°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline on Nov 17 according to Prof Eliot Jacobson at the birdsite.

Only one day since 1940 has been more extreme: Feb. 28, 2016, with an anomaly of 1.99°C.

Update: The global 2m temperature on Nov. 18 was 2.01°C.

Based on the first 17 days of November, this month is heading towards a new global heat record.

The era of global boiling has arrived, says UN Secretary General, as July is the hottest month in recorded history. Cartoon for Trouw: https://www.trouw.nl/opinie/spotprent~bbc70587/

I'm taking a break for summer. I'll be back with new cartoons at the end of August. See you then!

The air is significantly hotter
Than it has been in years past
Climate change is a real danger
A future is at stake at last

World Passes Highest Average #GlobalTemperature Recorded
By Paige Bennett, EcoWatch

The average global temperature reached a new high on July 3 at 17.01 degrees Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest average since records initially began in the 19th century and since satellite monitoring began in the 1970s. July 4 was even hotter, reaching 0.17 degrees Celsius (0.31 degrees Fahrenheit) higher... https://popularresistance.org/world-passes-highest-average-global-temperature-recorded/ #climatecrisis

Climate scientists need to be conveying daily info to the public in the same way that new organisations supply the business world with info on FTSE index and stocks and shares etc. So on news bulletins, we need regular updates on CO2 ppm; global temperature; stats on sea ice, sea surface temperatures etc. Is there an easy way to find this data and convey the info to general public? #climatescience #news #globaltemperature #seaice #statistics #ipcc #unitednations

"Earth saw hottest day yet Thursday, the fourth straight global record

Earth recorded its hottest day on record on Thursday, making it the fourth straight to set or tie the record for warmest day globally."

"Monday's Shocking Record For Hottest Day May Have Been Broken Already

Tuesday was the hottest day ever recorded as the global average temperature leaped to a record high for the second day in a row, according to preliminary readings by US meteorologists published Wednesday.

The average daily air temperature on the Earth's surface reached 17.18 degrees Celsius (62.92 Fahrenheit), according to data compiled by an organisation attached to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

That far outstripped even the previous day's record measurement, a fresh sign of the impact of climate change driven by the burning of fossil fuels."

"Monday was hottest day for global average temperature on record, as climate crisis bites

This Monday, 3 July 2023, was the hottest day ever recorded globally, according to data from the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction.

The average global temperature reached 17.01C (62.62F), surpassing the August 2016 record of 16.92C (62.46F), as heatwaves sizzled around the world.

The southern US has been suffering under an intense heat dome in recent weeks amid extreme weather, probably driven by the human-caused climate crisis, experts said. In parts of China, an enduring heatwave continued, with temperatures above 35C (95F). North Africa has seen temperatures near 50C (122F), with, in the Middle East, thousands suffering from unusually scorching heat during the hajj religious pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia."
