🔴 📈 - 42°C IN CHINA … IM MÄRZ.

Heute haben 535 Stationen ihre März-Rekorde gebrochen oder eingestellt, sieben Provinzen haben ihre März-Hitzerekorde gebrochen. Die Menschen und Tiere in China erleben gerade die stärkste Hitzewelle, die je im März in ihrem Land gemessen wurde…

Welche aktuellen weitreichenden Veränderungen diese aktuelle Neueröffnung der 31 km Autobahn für die unmittelbar betroffenen Anwohner*innen, für das Grundwasser, für die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt entlang der Strecke und im gesamten Landkreis ab jetzt nach sich ziehen werden (siehe die Begründung unseres Antrages) wird die Zukunft zeigen. Aber auch eine Schlagzeile der Oberhessischen Presse von Mittwoch konnte diese Dringlichkeit bei der Groko nicht untermauern op-marburg.de/wissen/klimawand #DontLookUp

Die Sonne scheint am Rand von dunklen Wolken.

It's common knowledge that we have known about the greenhouse effect since the late 19th century. Having started Andrea Wulf's "The Invention of Nature" about Alexander von Humboldt, its interesting to read that he observed human activity changing climate as well as destroying ecosystems and tried to warn of the risk at the very beginning of that century.

Good thing we paid attention and rapidly learned not to trash the planet, eh?

Continued thread

Why did I do this today? Because of the ZEC calculation I mention in #1 .
The Zero Emissions Commitment = how much warming can be expected after CO2zero.

That 10 year lag after a CO2 pulse would locate the span for ZEC at 10 years.
@MichaelEMann says in this conversation with the director of #DontLookUp , that the oceans are going to keep taking up lots of CO2 for quite a while – which, he says, counters the warming tail and shortens it. redgreenandblue.org/2022/01/19

My chart above says: there is no warming tail.

And my assumption in #1 says: if the weakening AMOC leads to less and less ocean CO2 uptake, like the paper states, our continued emissions, should they continue, increase the CO2 growth peaks.
But that's not going to directly immediately changing the amplitude of the °C anomaly, as I found out in my chart above.

Okay.
Now to the thing I had actually planned for today: plotting Antarctic CO2 and Greenland's local temperature from before the Younger Dryas.
