Anyone who thinks that temperatures in the 1930s were as high as today's is confusing global temperatures with temperatures in the U.S., which makes up 2% of the surface area of the globe. Globally, the 1930s were much much cooler than today.

If only we had detailed information telling us the climate is changing far faster than any time in human history... ...and if only we had an unambiguous physical explanation for why those changes have occurred... ...then some politicians would still deny any problem exists.

Great read from @amywestervelt on the Forbes contributor network, and how it boosted Mike Shellenberger's public profile. Like Amy, I was also once a journalist at Forbes.com. It was pretty critical for me, but also very frustrating. 🧵 drilled.ghost.io/how-forbes-…

With May 2024 coming in as the warmest May on record, global temperatures have been at 1.63C above preindustrial levels over the past 12 months in @CopernicusECMWF's ERA5. A pretty sharp jump up from prior global temps we've seen, akin to the increase between 2010 and 2016:

This 1 minute video of me debunking the “cloud seeding caused the Dubai floods” has been watched by humans cumulatively for 56 days so far. It’s still a tiny fraction of the time people spent watching the original misinformation.

Big changes in extreme precipitation are happening. Here is the observed change in the severity of heavy precipitation events, due mostly to climate change. nca2023.globalchange.gov/cha…
For every degree C that Earth’s atmospheric temperature rises, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere can increase by about 7%. A warmer world is a one with heavier precipitation events, even in places where average rainfall may remain unchanged. carbonbrief.org/explainer-wh…

Elon Musk tweets, "Farming has no material effect on climate change." This is wrong. If you look at the data, you find that a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions are due to food production, the majority of these from farming. ourworldindata.org/food-ghg-…
