Towering glacial ice cliffs may collapse in fits and starts
We still don’t know for sure how the ice cliffs looming over the sea at the leading edge of some glaciers will behave as the climate warms, but satellite data offers some clues

The Southern Hemisphere’s ozone hole reached 27 million km² this month, making it one of the largest #ozone holes on record. This year’s large #ozonehole is associated with an unusually strong polar vortex, which could also influence Australia’s weather this spring.

Yesterday's Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly (preliminary) was a record 3.047°C above the 1991-2020 baseline, beating the previous record of 3.034°C set on November 19, 2015.
It will take about 2 weeks to verify. Stay tuned!

US HAS SEPTEMBER WORLD RECORD HEAT DOME
One of largest all time heat domes, over Southwest US.
This is not El Nino, nor marine heat waves.

Shocking "Great Red Spot" map shows unprecedented HEAT DOME -- strongest on Earth by huge margin.
6000 meter height at 500 mb pressure used to be a threshold impossible to breach, and now we're blowing right past it.

We've already wiped out nearly HALF the trees that once covered Earth — from ~6 trillion down to 3 trillion. Every single tree you plant is a middle finger to that trend.

Carbon-offset schemes aren’t prepared for forests to burn
Forest-based carbon-offset projects need a buffer to guarantee their climate benefits will last ― but they may not have nearly enough in reserve

60.2% of Bornean orangutan habitat has been destroyed by wildfires in just three months.
Yes, you read that correctly. 60.2%!!!!!!!
Over 25 million hectares wiped out by a preventable mix of severe drought and corporate greed. We are letting it happen. We have failed.

This is now getting absurdly serious with the El Niño. The latest OSTIA SST data now has a peak anomaly of 8.1C above normal, with Peru reporting a peak SSTA of 9.5C. What's more concerning is that these anomalies are only going to increase over the next 10+ days, as the latest ECMWF forecast is predicting a peak of 12.5C right off the coast of Peru.
As I said earlier, this is setting up to be the most impactful El Niño since record-keeping began in 1950. Also can't wait for the new C3S model ensemble to come out by around September 10th, as I'm sure the wet signal across the west & south will be bonkers.

AUSTRALIA has been living weeks of abnormally warm weather and meteorological spring started with record heat up to 38.6C.
A huge area had the highest ever recorded temperatures so early including Sydney which rose to 32.1C yesterday.
