I completely agree with Dr. Lieve Van Camp, PhD‘s comment relating to the realities we face as we continue to heat:
“Honesty works best. Honesty is not the same as “doom and gloom”! People have the right to have the full information about what is coming. At least a number of people will understand the data and projections. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand what is coming. It would be highly irresponsible not to inform them fully.”
In the interest of being fully informed here is a snapshot of the research published recently by Dr. James Hanson.
“The 2023 temperature should be higher than in 2022, rivaling the warmest years.”
✓ 2023 was the warmest year on record
“A classical, strong El Nino in 2023-24 could push global temperature to about +1.5°C”
✓ March ’23 – Feb ’24 12-month mean was +1.56ºC
“The large imbalance suggests that each month for the rest
of the year may be a new record for that month. We are entering a new climate frontier.”
✓ We have had 9 consecutive months (now going for a 10th) of record breaking temperatures.
“We expect the 12-month mean to rise to at least 1.6°C in the next six months” (ie between January and June 2024)
We await March 2024 data
“We expect the average of the El Nino maximum and the La Nina minimum of global temperatures to be ~1.5°C. Given Earth’s huge energy imbalance – more energy coming in than going out – it will be clear that for all practical purposes the 1.5°C global warming level has been reached in the mid-2020s.”
We await the data.

It is clear that we are moving into a brand new climate reality, forced into existence by the continued burning of fossil fuels. The consequences of this shift and the impact on society has been projected and now increasingly observed around the world.
How ready are you for increased climate impacts?
