Pictured is a graph of historical global sea-surface temperatures across the year from 1982-2024. Yesterday was about 0.3°C warmer than last year. Well, maybe it will go back down since this is an El Niño year? :>

Average global surface air temperature in February 2024 was 1.77°C warmer than the average February from 1850-1900. So maybe we can retire those 1.5°C warming goals now?

However, the IPCC reports that global temperatures have only risen by 1.1°C. This is because they use decade-long averages. Indeed, it is completely possible that 2025 will be cooler than 2024, but crop failures don’t care much for averages. shrug-outta-hecks And if global warming has accelerated, the IPCC’s method will be a decade late to realizing it. Not that they can actually do anything about it…

    The 5 Tg case scenario is from ref. 16 for an India–Pakistan war taking place in 2008; the 16–47 Tg cases are from ref. 18 for an India–Pakistan war taking place in 2025; and the 150 Tg case is from ref. 51, which assumes attacks on France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, United States, Russia and China.
