Couple places in the Gascoyne region almost hit 50 today. 49.9 at Carnarvon and 49.8 at shark bay airport.

Only 6 temps recorded over 50 in Australia before, mind you 3 of them were in 2022.

47 degrees i recorded between loxton and swan reach on Wednesday

A 100% renewable grid isn’t just feasible, it’s already happening

Debate over whether we can run electric grids on 100% renewables in coming decades misses a key point: many countries and regions are already there.

Complicated sort of graph.
Is it saying that the global temperature has risen by 1 degree in nearly 200 years?

It's a logarithmic graph. From 1850 to 1970 you can see there was about 0.4 deg of warning.

In the last 50 years about 1 deg

Trump

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/08/oil-industry-orders-trump-day-one-00156705

The U.S. oil industry is drawing up ready-to-sign executive orders for Donald Trump aimed at pushing natural gas exports, cutting drilling costs and increasing offshore oil leases in case he wins a second term, according to energy executives with direct knowledge of the work.

The effort stems from the industry’s skepticism that the Trump campaign will be able to focus on energy issues as Election Day draws closer — and worries that the former president is too distracted to prepare a quick reversal of the Biden administration’s green policies. Oil executives also worry that a second Trump administration won’t attract staff skillful enough to roll back President Joe Biden’s regulations or craft new ones favoring the industry, these people added.

For those wondering, the peak of the flooding here will be this week.

This weekend, we’ve been hit with more storms. The rivers went all up again, after a few days of declining.

Geography doesn’t help evacuating the waters. It’s going to take a while…

Need to build mirrors in space to deflect some of the light away from earth.

The record-breaking heatwave that scorched the Philippines in April would have been impossible without the climate crisis, scientists have found. Searing heat above 40C (104F) struck across Asia in April, causing deaths, water shortages, crop losses and widespread school closures.

The extreme heat was made 45 times more likely in India and five times more likely in Israel and Palestine, the study found. The scientists said the high temperatures compounded the already dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where displaced people are living in overcrowded shelters with little access to water.


The results of the latest study to assess the role of human-caused global heating in worsening extreme weather shows how severe the impacts are already, with only 1.2C of average heating above preindustrial levels over the past four years.

Sawn an ALDI ad on tv tonite for their snow wear range - they obviously didn't get the message about our weather...

Congratulations, you are so insignificant in Perth that you don't get custom Aldi adds.

Skiing is fun. I gave away a lot of ski-stuff before I moved to Perth years ago.

Well, the last 12 months just went past the Paris accord agreed target of 1.5 deg warming.

Current trajectory is about 3 deg by 2100 I think, which means very bad things will happen. Mercifully, I'll be dead.

I fear for my grandchildren, and for their children.

One of Earth's major carbon sinks collapsed in 2023

Forests and other land ecosystems emitted almost as much carbon dioxide as they absorbed in 2023 – if this persists it will be much harder to restrict global warming to agreed targets

www.newscientist.com

Extreme heat, drought and wildfires caused forests and other land ecosystems to emit almost as much carbon dioxide as they removed from the atmosphere in 2023, nearly canceling out a major natural sink of the greenhouse gas.

Imagine being born now, hitting middle age in 50 years time. What kind of hellworld have kids got to look forward to?

Oodnadatta hit 39.4 today. It's still winter. Broke the winter heat record by a degree. That record was set yesterday, which beat the previous mark of 36.5 by 2 degrees. Get the thesaurus out and find a few synonyms for unprecedented.

A negative SAM is causing all sorts of weird weather conditions atm

Negative Southern Annular Mode strengthening in Southern Hemisphere

Ongoing stratospheric warming above Antarctica looks set to influence weather patterns across the Southern Hemisphere into August as a strong negative Southern Annular Mode (SAM) takes shape. The atmosphere above East Antarctica started to warm abruptly during the middle of July. This warming...
