Climate change and ENSO is a common topic request we get on the ENSO Blog. But there is an even more basic question that scientists are pondering:
How will trends in sea surface temperatures change across the equatorial Pacific Ocean? 1/11 climate.gov/news-features/…
A quick thread: This ENSO Blog article features a discussion between @OceansClimateCU, @UllaBullaTulla and Sukyoung Lee on recently observed trends in sea surface temperatures across the Pacific, future projections of sea surface temperatures, and what it all means. 2/11

#IPCC#ClimateReport Surface air temperature thread: We are now around 2.0°F (1.09°C) warmer than in 1850-1900. Each of the last 4 decades was warmer than the past. This rate of warming is without precedent in at least 2000 yrs, probably even longer. 1/12 ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…
How much of the warming between 1850-1900 and 2010-2019 is from human-caused emissions of GHG? About 1.9°F (1.07°C), or pretty much all of it. Natural factors account for +/-0.1°C. 2/12 #IPCC#ClimateReportipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1

The @IPCC_CH 6th Assessment Report from Working Group 1 represents the culmination of work by top climate researchers and confirms the indisputable fact that human activities are causing our world to warm at an accelerating rate. 1/6 #ClimateReportipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/
This report is critical for assessing the best scientific evidence related to climate change and helping us understand the past, present and future changes to Earth due to human-caused climate change. 2/6 #ClimateReportnoaa.gov/news-release/s… climate.gov/news-features/…

We know some of you may be home with school-aged children looking for some science to do. Or you don’t have kids and just want to do some science. Either way, let us help out with some climate exercises. We’ll be sharing some going forward and taking requests on topics! 1/12
First up, heat! Extreme heat kills 100s of Americans a year and sends tens of thousands more to the hospital. Learn more at National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) nihhis.cpo.noaa.gov Photo Credit: Hamad M 2/12
