WHERE'S ALL THE "EXTRA" GLOBAL WARMING COMING FROM?
METHANE!!!
Only 1% compared to CO2, short-term Global Warming Potential/Global Temperature Potential is 120 times greater (Paul Balcombe et al).
End result, EQUAL contribution to atmospheric heating!
A slowly METHANE BOMB!
El Nino continues to strengthen
This is now getting absurdly serious with the El Niño. The latest OSTIA SST data now has a peak anomaly of 8.1C above normal, with Peru reporting a peak SSTA of 9.5C. What's more concerning is that these anomalies are only going to increase over the next 10+ days, as the latest ECMWF forecast is predicting a peak of 12.5C right off the coast of Peru.
As I said earlier, this is setting up to be the most impactful El Niño since record-keeping began in 1950. Also can't wait for the new C3S model ensemble to come out by around September 10th, as I'm sure the wet signal across the west & south will be bonkers.
