Now NWS says there were 19 tornados in the Chicago area on Monday.

Are you claiming a link between CO2 levels and tornadoes? You had better let the IPCC and NOAA know. You should be on the short list for Nobel laureates with such a discovery.

But you can’t and the only thing you are revealing is how out of touch with reality you are. And that makes me sad.

At the start of 2023, Brent confidently predicted that 2023 "won't even be in the top five" (warmest years).

 

Of course, 2023 was the hottest year ever recorded, so he didn't make any predictions this January, but has now gone to "yeah it warmed up, but nothing bad* happened!"

As soon as there's a dip - and I damn hope there WILL be a dip - he'll be back to saying "it's not warming up, look this year was colder than last year!".

 

*note how this statement violates Feynman's teaching about halfway through the Feynman lecture about the scientific method Brent posted (but didn't watch fully)

Brent may be at a loss for words. The Russian troll sites have been taken down so the usual sources of knowledge and facts is gone.

After 2024 went into the record books as the hottest year ever, the Antarctic had its second lowest sea-ice extent in recorded history, coming in barely under the record low set in 2023.

Words no one wants to hear from a scientist - "Hemisphere sea ice has entered a new state."

On top of all other valuable research coming out of Antartica they've discovered that when you put a bunch of people in close contact for six months they start picking up each others accents. Um, duh? (https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240223-scientists-in-antarctica-developed-their-own-accent-after-six-months-of-isolation)

No papers yet on if they are also start looking cuter or if the guys aren't being such jerks sometimes. Seriously, as important as ice can be to the perfect G&T, I'm thinking we have several other present and more important issues at hand that are well outside any margin of variability.

Hi  Bill,

And, that somewhat closes the book on it:  Authors of National Climate Assessment Dismissed : NPR

Scripps Oceanography scientists calculated a May monthly average of 430.2 ppm for 2025, an increase of 3.5 ppm over May 2024’s measurement of 426.7 ppm. Scientists with NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory reported an average of 430.5 ppm, an increase of 3.6 ppm over last year. 

https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/annual-carbon-dioxide-peak-passes-another-milestone

It started being measured in 1958ish where it was less than 320 ppm. It passed 400 ppm in 2013. 

https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

I wonder at what point does it hockey stick on us and accelerate to 500 PPM in much less time.

Fairbanks, Alaska just had its first excessive heat warning.  Ever.

We were there a few years ago in January.  No one has air conditioning, and in January you can't imagine you would ever need it.

You mean ever as in since there were people?

And we’ll be there in a little over a month.

Hi Joe,

My local newsfeed just said 'the first ever.'

Take it for what it is.

Yes, I was just thinking if we broadened out our time frames a few 10's of millions of years things wouldn't seem so dire.

Ever as in "ever since the US has been issuing excessive heat warnings."  They probably were not doing that six million years ago.

And a Cat 3 hurricane just hit Mexico.  A first for this early in the season.

First Americane of the season? Sweet, that'll show 'em whose boss. Maybe now that the storms are  American made they should charge us a tariff on arrival.
