Ein Besuch in New York wird für Klimaforscher Jochem Marotzke zum surrealen Erlebnis: Während draußen das Leben pulsiert, herrscht im renommierten Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) Endzeitstimmung. Die Trump-Regierung hat das Institut faktisch geschlossen – ein symbolträchtiger Angriff auf die Klimaforschung. Doch die Folgen reichen weit über die Wissenschaft hinaus: Wenn Forschung unterdrückt wird, verlieren Bürger den Zugang zu verlässlichen Informationen über Wetterextreme, Gesundheitsrisiken und Umweltveränderungen. Frühwarnsysteme, Katastrophenschutz und nachhaltige Technologien geraten ins Hintertreffen. Die Klimakrise trifft alle – doch ohne Forschung fehlt die Grundlage für Schutz und Anpassung.

A new paper by #Judd and #Tierney et al maps temperature and CO2 for the last 485 million years. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk3705

#GavinSchmidt blogged about the new paper: https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2024/09/phantastic-job/

It raises the global temperature bar to 35°C, and averages around 28 or so.
Their CO2 is almost always about 1000ppm and notably doesn't really follow the temperature evolution in its ups and downs.

The chart from the movie in the toot above on its own.
The paper's main chart doesn't contain CO2, but in the supplement is one. So I copied that to the main chart.

But I feel it is important to digest it together with the information how Earth actually looked when global temperature spiked or dropped. So the movie above is going to be my go-to reference now.

Not the first attempt, other teams came before, and others will come after.

I needed to see their charts in context with the Earth's land-ocean-mountain configuration so I put it all together in a movie, with one of Chris Scotese's tectonics animations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzvOMee9D1o&t=22s
The two globes are western and eastern hemisphere.

Also, because it was global #ClimateStrike today, the music I added is what #IgorLevit played a day after the big #climate protest in 2019, to honour the millions of people on the streets. "We the people will never be defeated".

↪ #Earth’s #climate system,” wrote #GavinSchmidt, a British scientist and the director of the #Nasa Goddard Institute for #Space Studies in #NewYork.

If this anomaly does not stabilise by August, he said, it could imply “that a warming planet is already fundamentally altering how the #climate system operates, much sooner than scientists had anticipated”.

#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.

#ClimateModels can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory

Taking into account all known factors, the planet warmed 0.2 °C more last year than climate scientists expected. More and better data are urgently needed.
