The ESA Earth Observation Department informs us that ESA’s EarthCARE (derived from Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer) Satellite will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, no earlier than Tuesday 28 May 2024.

"Don’t Say Climate Change!” As Florida is on fire, under water and unaffordable, Florida Government is rolling back climate change legislation and language. Wish to remind that Florida is often hit by Hurricanes. The Climate Change issue has no political color but I have to report this news...

Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, is worried for the wildfire season which each year is now a reality in Canada. "Our climate is changing, and it’s a question of how, not if, we deal with it." Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada I invite all TMC Members to watch the reported video.

Yes it's the reference point which is different. I am used to take as reference point the pre-industrial Temperature and the Global Temperature Deviation is calculated with respect to that reference point. No problem anyway. Main thing is that we all make efforts to lower the Global Temperature...

North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures are still worsening in spite of the fact that El Niño is weakening. In one day most anomolous point increased from 1.04°C to 1.10°C. This post is worrisome. Please don't look it up.

Actually I don't understand the numbers in the y--axis. I also am used to call it the Global Temperature Deviation and now for me the Anomaly is the difference between the Expected Global Temperature Deviation and the Real Global Temperature Deviation. But it's ok. No problem. The graph gives...

Also Dr. James Hansen, former NASA Scientist and Director of NASA GISS, says that it's important to have knowledge of aerosol effects on clouds to better rule any climate policy, and we need to do it soon. Time is running short. That's why ESA is about to launch the EarthCARE (derived from...

https://www.ilmeteo.it/notizie/meteo-la-nina-sta-per-arrivare-vediamo-come-potr-influenzare-il-clima-anche-in-italia-175615277 According to this article in Italian La Niña, cool flip-side of El Niño, is arriving. Hope that La Niña will kick in soon so that we will check if the Anomaly of the...

That's why ESA is monitoring Aereosols in the atmosphere. Aerosol air pollution has made the planet about 0.7° F (0.4 °C) cooler than it otherwise would be, according to the 2021 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). For comparison, greenhouse gas emissions have added...

With 4 instruments on board to monitor Clouds, Aereosols, Reflected Solar Radiation and Infrared Radiation, EarthCARE (derived from Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer) is a complex mission with the task to unravel the role that clouds and aerosols play in Earth's climate balance. As...

Another important aapect of the Climate Change issue which is an early sign of economic collapse. A letter from your insurance company saying, "we’re sorry to inform you we can no longer cover your home." https://www.collapse2050.com/collapse-of-the-u-s-home-insurance-system/

We have the confirmation that we are back at record temperatures for the North Atlantic Ocean (black line in the reported graph). The highest anomaly of 2024! And next 10 weeks are the sunniest of the year. More absorbed heat = faster warming. Please notice both in the reported graph and in...

North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (red line in the reported pic) are now at their most anomolous point of 2024. For the time being I don't see an improvement of the Climate Change issue in spite of the fact that El Niño is weakening. This post is worrisome. Please don't look it up.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/05/17/permafrost-showdown/ “Deep below the glistening surface of a frozen Arctic lake, something is bubbling—something that could cause global warming to accelerate beyond all previous projections… Now the freezer door is opening, releasing the carbon into...

Yes it's important to point out the damages produced by the Climate Change issue, hoping that this way everybody will do his best to work it out and live better. To this purpose I wish to add this paragraph from the article mentioned by @mspohr “There will still be some economic growth...

Luckily Scientists at NOAA are investigating how crucial reef-building coral species are affected by the impacts of climate change using a suite of open-source robotic arms. Hope that Scientists at NOAA will manage to save Coral Reefs from the Climate Change issue.

So also according to this article by the UN if the Anomaly of the 365-day Global Temperature Deviation, which is today 1.65°C according to Berkely Earth, will stabilize when La Niña (cool flip-side of El Niño) will kick in the threshold of 1.5°C set by Agreement of Paris will be respected. This...

https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/degrees-matter The science is clear: to avert the worst impacts of climate change and preserve a liveable planet, global warming needs to be limited as much as possible and as a matter of urgency. (IPCC) Under the Paris Agreement...

ESA is about to launch the EarthCARE Mission. EarthCARE (derived from Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer) is a joint European/Japanese (ESA / JAXA / NICT) Satellite, the sixth of ESA's Earth Explorer Programme. The main goal of the Mission is the observation and characterization of...

In the reported pic we have a very sick, bleached brain-coral on the reef flat took at Heron Island 2 weeks ago. It was the sole surviving colony of this species. The rest died when sea temperatures on the reef flat reached 34°C. Just in case somebody thinks that the Climate Change issue is...

Sorry but according to the "opinion" mentioned in your article the Climate Change issue is not an emergency. Such an "opinion" is not supported by any scientific argument and is also false. In fact we have overtaken the threshold of 1.5°C set by the Agreement of Paris and Dr. Gavin Schmidt...

With half the month of data in, we have >95% chance that May 2024 will be the warmest May on record, extending the streak of warmest record months to 12 in a row.

FYI, according to a recent analysis, today the Consensus of Climate Scientists about the causes of the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) and the Climate Change issue is 99%.

[To moderator: can you please consider to move this post to the Climate Change Denial thread?]

Sorry but I have to say it all. The opinion given in the article by Newsweek that you mentioned not being supported by any scientific argument is technicallly DISINFORMATION. Luckily it's openly stated in the Title of the article that it's only an opinion.

To this concern I wish also to add that Dr. Gavin Schmidt, Director of NASA GISS and maximum Climate Expert of the USA, is worried because he thinks that the current 365-day Global Temperature Deviation is higher 0.2°C than it should be and is waiting August when probably La Niña, cool flip-side...

I would like to point out that, as it is openly admitted in the Newsweek article that you mentioned, the article reports only an opinion not grounded on any scientific fact. It also reports that scientists are not worried about the situation of the Climate Change issue. To this concern I wish...

FYI according to Berkely Earth the 365-day Global Temperature Deviation is not 1.61°C but 1.65°C with a tolerance of +/-- 0.07°C, meaning to say that the 365-day Global Temperature Deviation could already be 1.72°C! This post is WORRISOME. PLEASE don't look it up.

While an area of 80,000 sq. Miles corresponds to half Italy. So at the Arctic the ice melted for an area equal to half Italy.

Wish to point out that an area of 290,000 sq. Miles corresponds to one time and a half Italy. So at the Antctartic the ice melted for an area equal to one time and a half Italy.

NOAA's Mission The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a science-based federal agency within the Department of Commerce with regulatory, operational, and information service responsibilities with a presence in every state and the territories of the USA.

Sea Ice coverage for April 2024 was below average by 80,000 sq. miles also at the Arctic. So not only at the Antctartic but also at the Arctic the ALBEDO is decreasing. (NOAA Source)

In fact NOAA confirms that the ice at Anctartic is decreasing. Sea Ice coverage for April 2024 was below average by 290,000 sq. miles. The ALBEDO (reflectivity) of the Earth is decreasing. The Feedback Loop described in the quoted post, which could accelerate in a potentially unstoppable...

In this tweet NASA describes the ALBEDO Feedback Loop, or as ESA calls it ice-ALBEDO Feedback. When ice at Anctartica melts the light reflected back to the space decreases, and also the ALBEDO (reflectivity) of the Earth decreases. This way the Earth absorbes more Energy from the sun and more...

According to NOAA NCEI (National Centers for Environmental Information) Global Annual Temperature Outlook, there is a 61% probability that 2024 will rank as the warmest year on record, after that 2023 was warmest year on record as we know. This post is WORRISOME. PLEASE don't look it up.

Also NOAA confirms that April 2024 was warmest April on record and 11th record warmest month in a row.

11 MAY 2024 TEMPERATURE ANOMALY IS 82% HIGHER THAN 2023 Not a good thing. Expect May 2024 to be twelveth warmest record month in a row and the 365-day Global Temperature Deviation to increase above 1.61°C, in spite of the fact that we have virtually no El Niño and ENSO (El Niño Southern...

We have another FEEDBACK LOOP of the Climate Change issue. India is world's top source of CO2 emissions as coal power is increased for cooling during record heat. These feedback loops, together with the ALBEDO Feedback Loop or as ESA calls it ice-Albedo Feedback, are dangerous because...

It's true that Engineering and market forces drive innovation. Then if you don't like the word committment let's put it in another way. I love the politicians, independently from their political color, who ease the transition to a Clean Energy future. Because we also need the Government acting...

That's why I disagree with you.

Sorry but I disagree. Not possible to get rid of fossil fuels without having first developed renewables and a clean energy future. I mean everybody wants to phase out from oil and fossil fuels but we need to transition to a Clean Energy future to do it. This is what Vice President Kamala...

Since there is disagreement I report the speech of Vice President Kamala Harris at COP28 "PRESIDENT BIDEN AND I HAVE MADE THE LARGEST CLIMATE INVESTMENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY AND SOME HAVE SAID IN THE WORLD. Today we are demonstrating through action how the world can and must meet...

But I think we should also add that now the USA is the Country who is investing more than all other Countries all over the world to transition to a Clean Energy future. See the speech of Vice President Kamala Harris at COP28.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/gcb.17125 Climate change may be an important threat to global biodiversity, potentially leading to the extinction of numerous species. But how many? There have been various attempts to answer this question, sometimes yielding strikingly different...

Ok but China has also a big potential capacity of renewables. Why don't they increase their renewables and decide to become energy self sufficient with renewables rather than using coal? Considering the gravity of the Climate Change issue this attitude of China to increase their coal capacity is...

I am not the only one to foresee a 365-day Global Temperature Deviation >1.61°C in the next few months. According to Leon Simmons such a value will be 1.7°C in the months to come.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/09/carbon-dioxide-atmosphere-record The largest ever recorded leap in the amount of carbon dioxide laden in the world’s atmosphere has just occurred, according to researchers who monitor the relentless accumulation of the primary gas that...

Also the one year--RECORD SEA SURFACE WARMING CONTINUES in May in spite of the fact that El Niño is weakening. Let's follow CAREFULLY this behavior of the Global Temperature Deviation and Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) because if in August the Anomaly of the Temperatures will not stabilize we...

In Canada in May we have a vast early heat wave in Northern Canada with fires already and Temperatures rising at record levels. Expect that this rising trend of Temperatures will be confirmed also at Global Level and that May 2024 will be twelveth month in a row record warmest month with a...
