Breaking News! The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly for Sept. 29th came in at 3.18°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This marks yet another record all-time high and the 123rd consecutive record daily high at 1.1°C above the previous daily record set in 1997.

Breaking News! Code: FUBAR!!! The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature for September 25th was 29.822°C. This breaks the previous highest temperature ever recorded in the region of 29.815°C, set on November 17th, 2015. The Climate 8-ball is exiting, stage right.

A much needed #frequentFlyerLevy would possibly/probably negate the need to expand UK airports, until green aviation catches up Annually No Flight = Rebate 1st Flight = £0 Tax 2nd = 2X Airfare 3rd = 4X 4th = 8X 5th = 16X 6th = 32X 7th = 64X 8th = 128X 9th = 256X etc #EndFossilFuels #ClimateAction

A tone-deaf BBC piece on aviation by @theothebald.bsky.social for omitting the need to stop making things worse. Focusing on managing turbulence instead of cutting emissions is like fly tipping + expecting someone else to clean up the mess #frequentFlyerLevyNow www.shorturl.at/shortener.php

For those who have been waiting for an update, Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperatures have been treading water at daily record "super El Niño" levels (≈2.6°C above the 1991-2020 baseline) for most of August. The El Niño peak in the latest CFSv2 model run is now about 4.1°C.
