#Exxon CEO blames public for failure to fix #climate #change
Exxon Mobil Corp. CEO Darren Woods told editors from Fortune that the world has “waited too long” to begin investing in a broader suite of technologies to slow planetary heating.

Global #warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year for the first time.

This year-long breach does not mean that the world has broken the #Paris #Climate #Agreement #limit, but it does bring it closer to doing so in the longer term. The 1.5C limit is a legally binding 2015 treaty with 195 signatories to set out a path for dealing with climate change.

“The biggest bias is the urban heat island effect. What happens is that because heat is retained by the surfaces and released into the air at night, the night’s low temperature is not as low as it could be if the thermometer were outside of town and in a field.”
Global average surface temperatures have been variable, but show an increasing trend in recent decades.Over the years, he said, more and more infrastructure has been built up around the thermometer locations, and at night, the asphalt and concrete release the absorbed heat and push up the temperature.“You can look at any set of climate data, no matter who produces it, and you can see this effect. The low temperatures are trending upward much faster, and the high temperatures are virtually unchanged. But it’s the average temperature that’s being used to track climate change,” Mr. Watts said.
There are probably truths on both sides. If only we can avoid the dramatic alarmism then maybe we can have a more sensible clearheaded approach to the issue.

How Far to the 1.5°C #Limit?

And what, you deserve to know, is my answer to the original question, “How far to the 1.5°C limit?” Using the current smoothed values calculated with my new definition of “pre-industrial,” I’ll say we are now 1.32°C above pre-industrial, so another 0.18°C will bring us to the limit. At the rate we’re going, I expect that to happen in the early 2030s.

#TaylorSwift fans gather for cooler #Rio show after fan’s #death
Taylor #Swift fans headed to her eagerly expected show in #RioDeJaneiro on Sunday, following a last-minute postponement of Saturday’s performance due to record breaking #heat after a fan died in the sweltering conditions a day earlier.

#Earth likely briefly passed critical warming #threshold on Friday and Saturday

A daily global average surface #temperature climb to greater than 2°C above preindustrial levels indicates just how quickly the planet is warming, including some of the extremes that are now possible.

#Rio records 58.5°C real-feel #temperature in the morning
Since the arrival of the #heatwave affecting several Brazilian states, #RioDeJaneiro had already recorded the hottest day of the year on Sunday (12), with a temperature of 42.5°C, and an apparent temperature of 52 degrees on Monday morning (13).
Today’s record heat is the highest since Alerta Rio began taking temperature measurements in the city. The agency reports that the two other highest temperatures this year were 58.3°C, on February 17, and 58°C, on February 4.
