This is the hottest we have ever observed. The Mediterranean is now completely outside all previous records. We have never measured this level of heat across the basin at any time of year. It is only July. We usually see the annual maximum in August.

The Mediterranean Sea is heading into uncharted territory. The recent powerful “heat dome” over southern Europe has led to an extremely rapid warming of the waters in the western part of the bassin, with SSTs now exceeding 30°C off the coast of southern Italy. A short thread.

NEW: 85 people in Arizona suffered severe burns from contact with pavements heated up to 180F (82C). 7 of them died. In total, 257 people had underlying cause of death listed as "exposure to excessive natural heat". This is not a forecast for 50 years time, it’s happening today.

This is absolutely bananas. There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable. But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages? Nope.

New @WWAttribution confirms again just how much of game changer climate change is when it comes to extreme heat - April heat in the Mediterranean would have been almost impossible to occur without climate change. worldweatherattribution.org/…

“Yes, we’ve made amazing strides in human well-being, but we now have very large, very novel problems to tackle: environmental ones. Sticking with what got us here won’t solve those,” writes @_HannahRitchie. trib.al/3YMpGGs
We need the right kind of climate optimism

We need the right kind of climate optimism

Climate pessimism dooms us to a terrible future. Complacent optimism is no better.

Arctic sea ice underwent a regime shift between 2005 and 2007, becoming thinner and more uniform, according to a study published in @Nature. The fraction of thick, deformed ice has reduced by about half since this shift and has not recovered. go.nature.com/3YM5AHD

The Warming Stripes are a popular visual way of highlighting the observed rise in global temperatures since 1850. #ShowYourStripes But, the concept can also be used in different ways for different purposes... a thread🧵
