Nicht vergessen. Der kühlste Mai für den Rest deines Lebens. 👌 „Die globalen Temperaturen werden in den nächsten fünf Jahren auf Rekordniveau bleiben, wobei der jährliche Durchschnitt bis zu 1,9 °C über dem vorindustriellen Niveau erreichen könnte, wie Wissenschaftler festgestellt haben."
Wetterkarte Mitteleuropas vom 29. Mai 2026 mit Temperaturdarstellung in Rot- und Pinktönen, die hohe Temperaturen anzeigen. Deutschland, Frankreich und die Benelux-Länder leuchten in kräftigem Pink bis Dunkelrot – die höchsten Werte. Berlin: 26 °C mit wechselhaftem Wetter, westlich von Frankfurt: 31 °C mit Gewitterwarnung. Besonders hohe Temperaturen auch über Frankreich und Nordspanien. Kühlere Bereiche nur in den Alpen und Teilen Skandinaviens. Quelle: MapTiler/OpenStreetMap.

Die globalen Temperaturen werden in den nächsten fünf Jahren wahrscheinlich auf oder nahe Rekordniveaus bleiben, wobei der jährliche Durchschnitt möglicherweise bis zu 1,9°C über dem vorindustriellen Niveau erreichen könnte, wie Wissenschaftler festgestellt haben.

Neue UN-Klimaprognosen, die am Donnerstag veröffentlicht wurden, deuten darauf hin, dass die mittleren Jahrestemperaturen nahe der Erdoberfläche in den Jahren 2026–2030 zwischen 1,3°C und 1,9°C über dem Durchschnitt von 1850–1900 liegen werden.
Die Analyse der Weltmeteorologieorganisation (WMO) der UN und des britischen Met Office stellt eine 86-prozentige Wahrscheinlichkeit fest, dass ein Jahr zwischen jetzt und 2030 den Rekord als wärmstes Jahr brechen wird.

Dies geschieht, nachdem die Rekordtemperaturen von 2024 – zumindest vorübergehend – die 1,5°C-Schwelle überschritten haben, auf die sich die Länder geeinigt haben, die globale Erwärmung zu begrenzen, um ihre gefährlichsten Auswirkungen zu vermeiden.
Die WMO und das Met Office stellten eine 91-prozentige Wahrscheinlichkeit fest, dass mindestens ein Jahr in den nächsten fünf Jahren dasselbe tun wird.

📣 The difference between replicable and not replicable is not itself scientifically replicable. 📣 New work with Erkan Buzbas, showing that verdicts such as "X% of results replicated" are based on an inferential machinery that doesn't work. arxiv.org/abs/2604.26268
Screenshot of a paper's title page. Title: "The Difference Between 'Replicable' and 'Not replicable' is not Itself Scientifically Replicable". Authors: Berna Devezer and Erkan O. Buzbas, both at the University of Idaho — Devezer in the Department of Business and the Institute for Modeling Collaboration and Innovation, Buzbas in the Department of Mathematics and Statistical Science. Authors contributed equally. Corresponding author: bdevezer@uidaho.edu.
Abstract: Replication studies estimate the replicability rate of scientific results by aggregating binary verdicts of experiments. Exact replications are rarely attainable, so most replication sequences are non-exact. Experiments differ in ways that matter and do not share a single common data-generating process. We formalize two statistical interpretations of this non-exactness. In a shared latent rate model (benchmark), experiments are exchangeable and depend on a common random replicability rate. In a conditionally independent rates model (operational), each experiment has its own replicability rate drawn independently from a population distribution. Under the shared latent rate model, even small variability among replicability rates induces an irreducible variance floor on the estimated mean replicability rate that cannot be eliminated by adding more replications. Under the conditionally independent rates model, the degree of non-exactness is not identifiable from standard replication data, because one binary verdict per experiment contains no information about between-experiment heterogeneity. Researchers therefore cannot tell which precision regime they are operating in or whether high- and low-replicability sequences can be distinguished in principle. As a result, the usual data structure of one binary verdict per experiment cannot support reliable demarcation between "replicable" and "not replicable" results and systematically understates uncertainty, making high- and low-replicability sequences appear discrim…
