We have now updated the model-observations comparison page for the 2021 SAT and MSU TMT datasets. Mostly this is just ‘another dot on the graphs’ but we have made a couple of updates of note. First, we have updated the observational products to their latest versions (i.e. HadCRUT5, NOAA-STAR 4.1 etc.), though we are still using NOAA’s GlobalTemp v5 – the Interim version will be available later this year.

A vote last week by the Los Angeles City Council will initiate a process to ban new oil and gas wells and phase out existing wells within the City’s limits. This historic vote is a major victory for environmental justice communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the harmful impacts of neighborhood oil drilling for far too long. The win follows from more than a decade of advocacy by STAND-L.A., a local environmental justice coalition, to stop neighborhood oil and gas drilling in L

The extreme pressures and temperatures found in the cores of Earth-like planets have been recreated using an ultrahigh-power laser at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The research was led by Richard Kraus and suggests that rocky planets larger than Earth should have strong magnetic fields that are sustained over billions of years. The study could provide key guidance in the continuing search for life on the growing number of Earth-like exoplanets that have been observed orbitin
