Many discussions, reflexions, policies about climate change concern themselves with the predictions average, or central scenarios, somewhat of necessity. But there are still many uncertainties about the future evolution.

The article below describes one reason why that change could be coming faster than expected. It’s not definitive at all, just something to keep in mind: https://nachrichten.idw-online.de/2024/12/05/rapid-surge-in-global-warming-mainly-due-to-reduced-planetary-albedo

Hope the bees know it’s time to wake up, as my plum trees think it’s spring.

We’ve had a string of days in the top 5% measured against average temperatures for this time of year. Melbourne was 6-8C above average yesterday. This is climate change loading the dice.

This may produce environmental mismatch as early fruit blossoms lack insects for pollination.

Turkey 🇹🇷 has just hit a high of +39.2°C (102.6°F). This is the highest temperature recorded in the month of April for Turkey.

It is extremely hot in Africa too. Both Niger 🇳🇪 and Chad 🇹🇩 equal their respective April national records.

Meanwhile the chill continues for much of Europe...

#GavinSchmidt's admission of a knowledge gap regarding the 2023 temperature anomaly suggests that the climate system may be entering uncharted territory, indicating potential fundamental alterations due to global warming.

If the anomaly persists beyond August 2024, it could signal unprecedented changes, potentially leading to further disruptions in the climate system.

Very hot in China 🇨🇳 right now. The first 43°C to be recorded among national stations in April.

Too many records to count. Yet another astonishing weekend of warmth for Europe.

April national records exceeded in Slovenia 🇸🇮, Bosnia & Herzegovina 🇧🇦 and Croatia 🇭🇷 but many other notable site records fell.

Change is already on its way though...
