1. Yesterday we published the second big piece in the “2C: Beyond the Limit” series.
washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
2. It contains both our global analysis of the Earth’s fastest warming places – about 10 percent of the planet is above 2C over the last 5 years, we found – and also a story about the already dire impacts from a massive warming hotspot, or blob, in the South Atlantic ocean.
3. Naturally, we got a lot of response.
4. That included a tweet from @AriJLaaksonen, a meteorologist in Finland. He pointed out a study that shows pretty definitively that Finland is over 2C, based on detailed records that go all the way back to 1847 (!). link.springer.com/article/10.100…
5. I don’t necessarily find this surprising as our global maps, like this one, generally show the same. But this is a higher resolution demonstration by experts who have closely studied the country's temperature data.
6. But, just add Finland to the list of countries where at a national level, 2C of warming has been convincingly documented. I’m sure there are many more out there.
7. If you know of any other country level studies like this one, I would definitely like to see them, so send them my way! /end
