Living in Bomb Time — 40

Lots of new papers validating my analysis over the last 3 years.

Temperature anomalies in the chart are in reference to the 1979–2000 average for each specific day of the year. For reference three time series are provided, these are the “dotted lines”. The bottom line is the times series for the 1979–2000 average. The middle line is the more commonly used 30-year 1981–2010 average. The top line is the 1991–2020 average. Can you SEE, just how much “hotter” 2023 and 2024 are, and what a BIG jump we have made?

Plus, a discussion of some new stuff from James Hansen.

The evidence keeps coming in that the change in marine diesel is THE CAUSE for last years abrupt global temperature jump of about +0.5C.

Abrupt Reduction in Shipping Emission as an Inadvertent Geoengineering Termination Shock Produces Doubling in Warming Over Oceans | Nature

ABSTRACT:

Aerosols sourced from global shipping industry affect clouds and we can view the shipping emission as a long-running inadvertent MCB (Marine Cloud Brightening) experiment. On January 1, 2020, new International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations on the sulfur content of international shipping fuel took…
