The Guardian · More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ climate disasters struck world in 2024, says UNBy Damian Carrington

« The White House is ending funding for the body that produces the federal government’s pre-eminent #climate report, which summarizes the impacts of rising global #temperatures on the United States.
Every four years, the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is required by Congress to release a new national climate assessment to ensure leaders understand the drivers of – and threats posed by – global #warming. It is the most comprehensive, far-reaching and up-to-date analysis of the climate #crisis, playing a key role in local and national decision making about agriculture, energy production, and land and water use. »

Continued thread

#Arctic #warming could pose a threat to America’s #security too: #Alaska may have new vulnerabilities to both #China & #Russia; changes in #ocean salinity & temp might interfere w/ #submarine detection systems; extremes of climate change, including #permafrost thaw in Russia, may drive #economic #instability, social #unrest, & territorial claims. [#Trump #Intelligence Agencies excluded #ClimateChange from the annual #ThreatAssessment report for the first time in decades — too *woke*]

Key messages:

Key #ClimateChange indicators again reach record levels

Long-term #warming (averaged over decades) remains below 1.5°C

#SeaLevelRise and #OceanWarming #irreversible for hundreds of years

Record #GreenhouseGas concentrations combined with #ElNiño and other factors to drive 2024 record heat

Early warnings and #climate services are vital to protect communities and economies

The clear signs of human-induced climate change reached new heights in 2024, which was likely the first calendar year to be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era, with a global mean near-surface temperature of 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 average.
