In 1938, Guy Callendar was the first person to use observations of temperature from across the world to demonstrate that the land areas were warming.

He also collated CO2 measurements to show that atmospheric CO2 levels were increasing.

And he also showed that the expected warming from the increase in CO2 was at least half of the observed warming.

The theory was understood much earlier, but this was the first attribution of observed climate change.

There is still lots of useful information on the birdy side, and I’m not sure who has migrated yet.

This photo was shared today by @ScottDuncanWX on Twitter: a shocking image of the extreme warmth in October. Multiple countries recorded their warmest October on record, some by large margin.

🔴 = warmer than average
🔵 = cooler than average

Wake up world; we need a healthy, livable planet!

Rescuing historical weather observations improves quantification of severe windstorm risks

It is possible to produce a credible reanalysis for one of the most severe windstorms to ever hit the UK & Ireland. Even when that storm happened 120 years ago.

It's my Monday morning sea ice update - hope you have a great week! 🙂

#Arctic sea-ice extent is currently the 11th lowest on record (JAXA data)...

• about 220,000 km² above the 2010s mean
• about 540,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,160,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,450,000 km² below the 1980s mean

I made a (stupid 🙃) error on the daily growth of users on Twitter. Here is the correct Monday version of my plot. Mastodon is growing slower than Twitter but is catching up. I got caught up in the excitement 🤦‍♂️.

As planet heats, Brazil's anteaters face rising extinction risk.
-Brazil's #anteater populations have fallen 30% over 26 years.
-Rising heat, fires, drought and habitat loss drive decline.
-Extinction threats growing for many animals as #planet heats.

What is going on right now: Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, has taken the stand in his own defense against a charge of seditious conspiracy.

I'm following @KlasfeldReports. who is reporting from the court.

I am following him on Twitter because I'm still figuring out how Mastodon works :)

Anyway, here is some background:

On January 13, Rhodes (who helped lead the attack on the Capitol on January 6) was indicted for, among other things, seditious conspiracy.

By way of #introduction, here is an animation of the #ocean circulation I made using model output from my college Harper Simmons.

The quantity shown is the sea surface height gradient magnitude, which is related to the current speed.

You can see the large-scale currents like the Gulf Stream, turbulent eddies, tides (the rapid flashing) and small-scale internal waves radiated from topography (the washboard patterns).

A quick glimpse into things I work on!

Observed changes in climate over the past 2021 years.

Both carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and global temperatures increase rapidly after the invention of the efficient steam engine in the 1780s.

The RCMP appear to have had knowledge over two years ago about an alleged plot to entrap former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, a case Calgary Police announced this week is the focus of an active criminal investigation.

Here’s audio from a call between David Wallace and an RCMP investigator purportedly recorded two years ago, in which the RCMP asks for an update on the alleged plot to entrap Nenshi:
