Gavin Schmidt of Nasa scratching his head:

"For the past nine months, mean land and sea surface temperatures have overshot previous records each month by up to 0.2 °C — a huge margin at the planetary scale. A general warming trend is expected because of rising greenhouse-gas emissions, but this sudden heat spike greatly exceeds predictions made by statistical climate models that rely on past observations. Many reasons for this discrepancy have been proposed but, as yet, no combination of them has been able to reconcile our theories with what has happened..

 

....If the anomaly does not stabilize by August — a reasonable expectation based on previous El Niño events — then the world will be in uncharted territory. It could imply that a warming planet is already fundamentally altering how the climate system operates, much sooner than scientists had anticipated. It could also mean that statistical inferences based on past events are less reliable than we thought, adding more uncertainty to seasonal predictions of droughts and rainfall patterns.."

Government defeated in High Court over climate plans

As in Scotland, the targets were set to look good with no plan for achieving them. The targets will be changed because no one has prepared the voters for what is necessary.

Wind generated more UK power than gas over the last year 32% to 31%. 

Also the govt decided not to offset the covid carbon reductions to meet future targets. I guess labour will stick to the sane decision.

Temperatures have exceeded 50C in Delhi. Lovely.

I consider myself pretty well versed but I don't *know* the outcome - that's for the high priests amongst us.

I dislike claims of a new record global av temp to within 100th of a degree with no discussion of error bars stated and so should everyone.

This is quite an unusual picture - usually we see arctic temps looking like this
