State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat

Note that this energy imbalance is due to the accumulation of greenhouse gasee in the atmosphere, largely a result of fossil fuel use

The only way to prevent going from ~1.5°C to 2°C above the temperatures we had in the late 1800s is a quite rapid phase-out of fossil fuel use, combined with an end to deforestation, and the replacement of a few industrial gases

The continued burning of fossil fuels is locking heat in Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land — instead of allowing it to reflect back into space, a new report finds.

War in the Middle East is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined

This heat wave is so extreme that it would only be expected to occur once about every 500 years in the current climate, according to World Weather Attribution, a group of scientists who study links between extreme weather events and climate change.

“These temperatures are completely off the scale for March, and our data shows that they would be virtually impossible in a world without human-caused climate change,” said Ben Clarke, a research associate in extreme weather and climate change at Imperial College London.
