We are in the Age of Humans - the Anthropocene.
Our new article (open access) shows how even with a moderate future emissions scenario, global temperature will still be elevated by 3-4°C in the year 3000!
Lifetime of our CO2 in the air is that long.

A useful infographic about the 2026 Super El Nino
Actually not yet confirmed as the strongest ever, but this looks increasingly likely according to modelling
