The world has warmed by around 1.4C since 1850.
It took 148 years for the first half of that warming to occur, and just 27 years for the second half!
Australia wins the COP31 match!
In 1898, a ship was trapped for more than a year in two-metre-thick sea ice in the frozen Bellingshausen Sea in western #Antarctica. Now, as in recent years, there’s hardly any sea ice there at all.

Happy Hug A Climate Scientist Day!!
(But only hug with permission - we scare easily)
@firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social
The forecast for the next week (to 20 June) for Melbourne averages 17.4C
June 2026 to date has averaged 16.9C
These are mid May or first half September temperatures.
The June average is 14.1C, while typically this week averages around 13.7C
We've had only 1 day of below average temperature in June
Notice anything different between the 1 June sea surface temperature maps for the strong El Nino's in 1982, 1997, 2015 and 2026?
