Atmospheric CO₂ increase in 2024 was higher than the total fossil fuel emissions 20 years prior! More and more natural carbon sinks are failing, especially in El Niño years. Rapid global warming leads to El Niño temperatures being the new (temporary) normal in 5-10 years.

La maldad y la corrupción van de la mano en Casa Blanca
“La supuesta financiación privada del salón de baile de la Casa Blanca merece ser destacada. La generosidad empresarial tiene claramente como finalidad ganarse el favor de Trump, quien se maneja de manera abiertamente transaccional”. #AmyGoodman #columna

Breaking News! It appears that the UN is now using the method Richard Betts proposed and I use to compute the "long-term" global temperature with respect to the Paris Agreement. Which means the planet will be breaking 1.5C in 2026 or 2027 at the latest. https://t.co/GMjxgsf6Cv
