El Niño is arriving with unusual force, and it’s landing on hot oceans, weak recovery between shocks, fragile food systems, fertiliser disruption, and a global system with less resilience than it used to have. WASF. #overshoot #collapse adrianlambert.substack.com/p/el-nino-la...

800 individual days have been at least 1.5C above the Pre-Industrial baseline Summer 2025 was largely under 1.5C > Will we pass 900 days in 2026? > Will we pass 1000 days by 2027? > Will the Loess 30-yr trend pass 1.5C before 2028? Data: Copernicus ERA5 - Global Mean Surface Temperature Anomaly

Graph purpose: Show both the individual days of global warming, and the longer term trends.

X-Axis: Years, from Jan 1940 until 7th Feb 2025
Y-Axis: Cumulative number of days above different global warming milestones (Log scale, from 0 to 10,000 days). For the unwary, beware the Log Scale !!
Additional information: The Dates at which the Global Warming trend line (Loess 30 year window trend line) crossed different Global Warming Milestones. E.g. by 22nd September 2025, there have cumulatively been 800 individual days above 1.5C Global Warming.
E.g. in August 1985, the Loess trend line for the Global Mean Surface Temperature Anomaly crossed 0.5C. Note that these dates shift a bit as new data comes in. For instance, Summer 2025 a bit cooler (than 2023/2024), and this was enough to shift the date for passing 1.00C from Dec 2011 to Jan 20212 (in practice this was a shift of 3 days).

The Graphs includes Global Warming Milestones: 0.5C, 0.75C, 1C, 1.25C, 1.5C, 1.75C, 2.0C

Data used: Copernicus ERA5 with 1850-1900 baseline (Pre-Industrial)
Graph Design Details on website:
https://parisagreementtemperatureindex.com/1000-day-climate-graphic-design/
Note the log scale on the Y-Axis. This allows the graph to show that the number of days above 0.5C, 0.75C etc ... keep going up, but it allows the focus to go on the higher temperatures that are happening more recently.

We don’t replace energy sources, we stack them. Wood → coal → oil → gas → renewables. Each new source adds to the total flow. The “displaced” fossil fuels don’t stay in the ground - they’re burned elsewhere (Jevons paradox). That’s why growth keeps driving emissions higher.. #overshoot #collapse
