The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

Its hard to overstate just how exceptionally high global temperatures are at the moment. They have blown past anything we've previously experienced by a huge margin. Over at The Climate Brink, we try and visualize this summer of extremes in seven charts. https://t.co/yApwMbyxgG

Glad to be back at cop. The #methanemomentum continues

Decorating & Sustainability can be compatible. Here's how.

1/7 Our new paper is out!! Our recent study shows nine years of #methane emissions (between 2010 and 2018) using ~600 lower troposphere aircraft vertical profiles over four regions in #Amazonia (the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast) https://t.co/tPWmi08QJA

In February, @IEA will launch an expanded version of our pioneering Global Methane Tracker, providing regular country-by-country updates on methane emissions from oil, gas & coal It will show where & how these emissions can be cut – & what policymakers can do to step up progress

New piece ⁦@johnpodesta⁩ and I just did on Glasgow and Biden admin. Biden team doing very well. Glasgow tees up 2022 as pivotal for 1.5. We need a high ambition coalition to convince China that it needs to make a major 2030 move for its own sake.

Just got an invite to a tech and sustainability conference. This was their diversity boast. A) 20% female is nothing to show off about B) The women pictured don't look particularly representative of the world.

"Almost a million wells are quietly belching methane. The new rule could halve emissions." @EPA must tackle smaller, leak-prone wells and flaring to #ActOnClimate. More via @emilypont & @NaveenaSivam:

You can’t manage what you don’t monitor. This is a start. #methane #sdg13

The #GlobalMethanePledge is seen as one of the biggest achievements of COP26 for its potential to quickly limit global warming while reducing air pollution. The CCAC is stepping up support to countries to #cutmethane by emissions 2030. https://t.co/mSeD1yHXfV

Great analysis, especially in the light of world commitment under the Methane reduction pledge made during #COP26 #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #methane

It's my birthday *and* it's the final day of #TransAwarenessWeek2021 The only gift I want to get 2-time #Jeopardy champ @Jeopardamy to 5000 followers so we can cheer her on in game 3 tonight! Please RT to get the word out! 🏳️‍⚧️⚧🥳

My two cents: So much good came out of #COP26 e.g. ✅Global methane pledge ✅Article 6 rulebook ✅Cooperation agreement between China U.S. ✅India climate commitment ✅Sustainable aviation fuel standard ✅A pledge to end deforestation Let's go!

2030 Strategy of @CCACoalition key to achieve the 1.5C goal of #ParisAgreement & as per #GlasgowClimatePact at #COP26 . #Methane emissions can be reduced by 40%, black carbon by 70% by 2030, HFCs can be virtually eliminated @RickDuke1 @PeterDery8

Russia won't join the Global Methane Pledge, but the US-China agreement on coal is making Putin rethink coal expansion and EU's carbon border tariff is making it work on a domestic carbon tax. Quite the turn around!

Vietnam is among the 100+ countries to promise to #cutmethane under the #GlobalMethanePedge. Its policies for rice cultivation are showing how countries can effectively reduce emissions and improve local livelihoods as well. https://t.co/wkI6T5DEIO

From important announcements on sustainable cooling, methane emissions, forest & more, here is UNEP's look back at #COP26 as well as a look forward on what's needed to tackle the triple planetary crisis -- changes, biodiversity loss & pollution

Still trying to understand the level of privilege needed to casually say "oh 1.5°C was never going to happen" I wish they had the courage to say it to Tina Stege of Marshall Islands or Seve Paeniu of Tuvalu or countless people for whom 1.5°C means letting their homes disappear.
