Research with climate models in recent years shows that when carbon dioxide emissions stop, the rise in atmospheric temperatures will likely also stop. The oceans absorb much of the carbon dioxide lingering in the atmosphere, which contributes to ocean acidification. 2C above the preindustrial average.

The year 2023 was by far the warmest in Earths recorded history, and perhaps in the past 100,000 years , shattering the previous record set in 2016 by 0.27C (0.49F). In other words, 2023 and 2024 have been much hotter than scientists’ predictions. But why were 2023 and 2024 so warm?

As climate scientists we tend to look at the IPCC reports a little differently than the general public might. Here are a few things that mark this report out from previous versions that relate to issues we’ve discussed here before: Extreme events are increasingly connected to climate (duh!) 1, SPM, AR5.

ENSO is so influential that climate scientists have dedicated decades to tracking and predicting its irregular cycles.

I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.
