Right in the middle of Danger Season , we are going through a period of unprecedented global extreme temperatures driven by fossil-fueled climate change. The unrelenting heat has caused a dizzying number of air and ocean temperature records to be broken in recent weeks. High ocean temperatures also fuel tropical storms.

One tipping point scientists have on their radar is the Atlantic Meridional Oceanic Current, a stream of water running northward up the Atlantic whose flow depends on a precise temperature gradient. Warming ocean temperatures could cause this current to slow down or collapse altogether.

Its location between two oceans, as well as its latitude and topography significantly increase Mexico’s exposure to extreme hydro meteorological events.” Mexico’s climate commitment for 2030 under the Paris Agreement calls for cutting emissions 22%, cutting black carbon by half, and achieving net-zero deforestation.

Not in summer when the ocean is covered by a shallow surface mixed layer heated by the sun and highly dependent on weather conditions.) The argument has been made that the ‘cold blob’ might not be caused by an AMOC decline but by heat loss at the ocean surface. We argued in Caesar et al. The reanalysis data show the latter is the case.

This is a pretty clear illustration of how sea level starts to rise slowly; but in the long run, sea-level rise caused by fossil-fuel burning and deforestation in our generation could literally go off the chart and inundate many coastal cities and wipe entire island nations off the map. But first things first.

Wildfire in Canada , smoke in NYC , heat domes in Texas , massive heat in the Atlantic ocean are just some of this month’s news. A 2022 Rainforest Action Network repor t found that “fossil fuel financing from the world’s 60 largest banks has reached USD $4.6 The leading edge of that disruption is already here.

degrees Celsius warmer than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, when humans began burning fossil fuels on an industrial scale, pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This warms the surface waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean and contributes to higher global temperatures. Extraordinarily, the data also showed that the 1.5C
