Continuing its voyage into uncharted waters, the latest preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.08°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. Models expect the Nino 3.4 anomaly to continue rising into at least mid-November. Then there will be dragons.

Drawing of the Day: UN Reports: Earth will cross 1.5°C warming and a best case scenario is "Overshoot, peak, decline" "There are no good outcomes if we remain above 1.5°C... we must double down on climate action" Mamdani announced NY public schools will ban Al for elementary and middle school kids
Wednesday September 2,2026
The UN Reports. Earth will cross 1.5°C warming and a best case scenario is "Overshoot, peak, decline" or warming
could be even more catastrophic.

"There are no good outcomes if we remain above 1.5°C... Now is the time we must double down on climate action" - Inger Andersen of UN Environmental program said. The report calls for immediate cuts to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and methane, as well as adoption of new carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies at scale due to the overshoot. Most scenarios currently suggest 1.8° C or higher is the pathway we're currently on.

Mayor Mamdani announced NY public schools will ban Al tools for elementary and middle school kids, and have an Al literacy course for High School students. This is intended to ensure AI doesn’t interfere with classroom learning.

All else being equal even a simple increase in the mean of the temperature distribution will lead to extreme heat above a particular threshold that's more frequent, more intense, lasts longer and covers a wider area (you'll have to imagine that third dimension).
Schematic titled "warming increases the intensity, frequency, and duration of extreme heat" which shows a temperature trace as a red line in three different climates (COLD climate, CURRENT climate and HOT climate) which only differ in that each one is warmer than the last by a constant offset. A fixed baseline and heatwave threshold are also shown as horizontal lines and these do not change. Areas that exceed the heatwave threshold are shaded pink. The pink shaded area is larger in the current climate than in the cold climate and smaller than in the hot climate. In the cold climate an annotation points to a single isolated pink-shaded heatwave and says "isolated heatwave". In the current climate an annotation points to three distinct heatwaves and says "more frequent, long heatwaves". Finally in the hot climate an annotation says "duration and frequency continue to increase" and "isolated cooler period" for there is only one short period that is not now classified as a heatwave.
