Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge& heat& anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory, Schmidt,& Nature& [perspective]:

In general, the 2023 temperature anomaly has come out of the blue, revealing an unprecedented knowledge gap perhaps for the first time since about 40 years ago, when satellite data began offering modellers an unparalleled, real-time view of Earth’s climate system. If the anomaly does not stabilize by August — a reasonable expectation based on previous El Niño events — then the world will be in uncharted territory. It could imply that a warming planet is already fundamentally altering how the climate system operates, much sooner than scientists had anticipated. It could also mean that statistical inferences based on past events are less reliable than we thought, adding more uncertainty to seasonal predictions of droughts and rainfall patterns.

Why the lower& stratosphere& cools when the& troposphere& warms, Lin & Emanuel,& Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:
Understanding the processes that control the temperature of the tropical lower stratosphere is important, since this temperature dictates the concentration of stratospheric water vapor, a potent greenhouse gas. Observational data have long shown that locally, tropospheric warming is associated with stratospheric cooling. We confirm that the temperature pattern in the troposphere is remarkably reflected in that of the lower stratosphere, and additionally show that this relationship holds when considering trends caused by climate change. We show that there is a tight coupling between the spatial pattern of tropospheric warming and stratospheric cooling. Our findings are interpreted using a simple theory that posits that there is a quasi-balanced response of the stratosphere to heating in the troposphere.
The transition boundary between grounded glacier ice and floating glacier ice, or grounding line, has never been mapped in much detail on the largest, fastest outlet glaciers of Greenland because available satellite radar imagery does not provide short enough repeat pass data. Here, we use a terrestrial radar interferometer which images the glacier every 2& min to map the grounding line repeatedly with differential interferometry. Surprisingly the glacier develops a small floating section on the south side where the grounding line migrates over considerable distances—0.5 to 2.8& km—during the tidal cycle, which is 10 times farther than previously expected from flotation. We attribute the migration to seawater intrusions over a bed 100&-800& m deeper than previously known. Seawater intrusions will carry sufficient ocean heat to melt basal ice vigorously, a factor that has not been incorporated in modeling studies of this glacier.

Nonlinear Interactions of Sea-Level Rise and Storm Tide Alter Extreme Coastal Water Levels: How and Why?, Moftakhari et al.,& AGU Advances:

This study analyzed the tidal data from around the Globe to understand the complex interactions between tides, surges, and mean sea level (MSL) fluctuations. The research found that in most locations, tides and non-tidal residuals have changed due to variations in MSL over recent decades. This research proposes a conservative proxy for extreme sea level dynamics, called “Potential Maximum Surge Tide” (PMST). By mid-century, the median PMST is projected to be 20% higher over all monitoring stations. Simply shifting storm tide predictions up based on projected SLR may underestimate the flooding risk up to fourfold. The interactions between MSL and storm tides, captured through the PMST statistic, contribute to increased flood hazards at three-quarters of the studied locations by the mid-21st century.&

Shrinking Alpine chamois: higher spring temperatures over the last 27 years in Switzerland are linked to a 3 kg reduction in body mass of yearlings, Masoero et al.,& Royal Society Open Science:

Although climate change is considered to be partly responsible for the size change observed in numerous species, the relevance of this hypothesis for ungulates remains debated. We used body mass measurements of 5635 yearlings (i.e. 1.5 years old) of Alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) harvested in September in the Swiss Alps (Ticino canton) from 1992 to 2018. In our study area, during this period, yearlings shrank by& ca& 3 kg while temperatures between May and July rose by 1.7°C. We identified that warmer temperatures during birth and the early suckling period (9 May to 2 July in the year of birth) had the strongest impact on yearling mass. Further analyses of year-detrended mass and temperature data indicate that this result was not simply due to changes in both variables over years, but that increases in temperature during this particularly sensitive time window for development and growth are responsible for the decrease in body mass of yearling chamois.&

People today who plant trees successfully do it for livelihoods and income not for biodiversity or climate mitigation, MS Ashton et al.,& Frontiers in Forests and Global Change:

Recently, many studies have touted the idea of planting trees as a natural means of climate mitigation (Bastin et al., 2019). Initial estimates were strongly criticized for their false assumptions about the technical capacity and open space available for such large-scale plantings (Veldman et al., 2019), but many of the critiques also failed to acknowledge that at least a century of work has documented successful tree planting (Holl and Brancalion, 2020). Responses had largely been written by ecologists, not by practitioners who plant trees for a living or silviculturists, social scientists, and others who conduct research on how, when, and where to plant trees and why landowners plant trees. Tree planting can be successful and very effective in the right circumstances, and there is an enormous technical literature under the applied ecological discipline of silviculture that has been ignored and should be recognized (Ashton and Kelty, 2018).

From this week's government/NGO& section:&

State of the Global Climate 2023,& Anzellini et al.,& World Meteorological Organization:

2023 was the warmest year on record at 1.45 ± 0.12 °C above the pre-industrial average. Concentrations of the three main greenhouse gases &- carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide &- reached record-high observed levels. Global mean sea level reached a record high. The rate of sea level rise in the past ten years (2014&-2023) has more than doubled since the first decade of the satellite record (1993&-2002). Antarctic sea-ice extent reached an absolute record low in February. The annual maximum extent was around 1 million km2 below the previous record low maximum. Preliminary data from the global set of reference glaciers for the hydrological year 2022-2023 show they experienced the largest loss of ice on record (1950&-2023), driven by the extremely negative mass balance in both western North America and Europe. Glaciers in Switzerland lost around 10% of their remaining volume in the past two years. Extreme weather continued to lead to severe socio-economic impacts. Extreme heat affected many parts of the world. Wildfires in Hawaii, Canada, and Europe led to the loss of life, the destruction of homes, and large-scale air pollution. Flooding associated with extreme rainfall from the Mediterranean Cyclone Daniel affected Greece, Bulgaria, Türkiye, and Libya with particularly heavy loss of life in Libya.

For Our Future. Indigenous Resilience Report,& Reed et al.,& Government of Canada:

Indigenous Peoples have unique strengths for responding to environmental and climate changes. Climate change is one of many crises that First Nations, Inuit, and Métis face. Indigenous knowledge systems and lived experiences are essential components of climate action. The food, water, and energy nexus is central to First Nation, Inuit, and Métis climate leadership. Self-determination is critical to Indigenous-led climate action.
