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.

#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.

Deep #warming

Even if we ‘solve’ global warming, we face an older, slower #problem. #Waste heat could radically alter #Earth’s #future

‘Through his worldwide industrial #civilisation,’ the report concluded, ‘Man is unwittingly conducting a vast geophysical #experiment’ – an experiment with a highly uncertain outcome, but clear and important risks for #life on Earth.

Quantifying Global #Greenhouse Gas #Emissions in Human Deaths to Guide #Energy #Policy

source: https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/16/16/6074

Several studies are consistent with the “1000-ton rule,” according to which a future person is killed every time 1000 tons of fossil carbon are burned (order-of-magnitude estimate). If warming reaches or exceeds 2 °C this century, mainly richer humans will be responsible for killing roughly 1 billion mainly poorer humans through anthropogenic global warming, which is comparable with involuntary or negligent manslaughter.

‘We’re changing the #clouds.’ An unintended test of #geoengineering is fueling record #ocean warmth

By dramatically reducing the number of #ship tracks, the #planet has warmed up faster, several new studies have found. That trend is magnified in the Atlantic, where maritime #traffic is particularly dense. In the shipping corridors, the increased light represents a 50% boost to the warming effect of human #carbon #emissions. It’s as if the #world suddenly lost the cooling effect from a fairly large volcanic eruption each year, says Michael Diamond, an atmospheric scientist at Florida State University.
