- The swings between El Niño and La Niña have been bigger in recent decades than earlier ones. Our guest blogger at the ENSO Blog covers new research pointing the finger at human-caused climate change. climate.gov/news-features/…
- Announced earlier today, Carbon dioxide levels measured at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory peaked at 423 parts per million in May, continuing a steady climb further into territory not seen for millions of years. climate.gov/news-features/…
- Wonder what is and, more importantly, isn't the polar vortex? Your friendly neighborhood climate website, Climate.gov, has got you covered! (Article from 2021) climate.gov/news-features/…
- Just awful news. The reef at Cheeca Rocks in Florida is completely bleached.Recently @NOAA_AOML scientists & partners returned to Cheeca Rocks, a site with some of the highest coral coverage in the Florida Keys, and found the reef completely bleached. Learn how scientists are responding to protect these important coral species: aoml.noaa.gov/cheeca-rocks-r…
- From our Climate Q&A section, wondering what evidence exists that Earth is warming and that humans are the main cause? Click below to learn about the overwhelming scientific evidence that Earth is warming and human activities are the main cause. climate.gov/news-features/…
- The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around 4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today, the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, & large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.
Just in: Levels of the three most important human-caused greenhouse gases (GHG)– carbon dioxide, methane & nitrous oxide – continued their steady climb during 2023. Find out how last year’s GHG concentrations measure up to previous years at the link below. research.noaa.gov/2024/04/05/no-… - 🚨ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨 We have a new Greenhouse Gas Monitoring & Services webpage! This new resource offers a one-stop platform for @NOAA-wide GHG information, news, emissions, data, tools, science explainers, reports, assessments, & educational resources. climate.gov/ghg
- The wait is over and La Niña is officially here. There’s a 59% chance La Niña will persist through February–April, followed by a 60% chance of neutral conditions in March–May, according to @NWSCPC. Read our latest ENSO Blog for more details: climate.gov/news-features/…
GIF - According to the Arctic Report Card, the Arctic tundra has shifted from a carbon sink, which it has been for a millennia, into a carbon dioxide source, while also remaining a methane source. More: climate.gov/news-features/… (2/8)
- From pole to pole and everywhere in between, Earth's ice is disappearing. #StateoftheClimate2023 The Arctic was warm and navigable in 2023. All reference glaciers lost mass in 2023. Antarctica sea ice set record lows throughout 2023. More highlights: climate.gov/sotc2023
- An El Niño Watch (!) has been issued by @NWSCPC which means that conditions are favorable for the development of El Niño within the next 6 months. In fact, there’s a 62% chance of El Niño conditions for the May–July period. For more, head to the ENSO Blog climate.gov/news-features/…
00:00 - Fed by Helene's moisture, a predecessor rain event in the Southern Appalachians prior to the hurricane's landfall caused record rainfall and flooding in September 2024. Increased humidity due to global warming likely boosted rainfall totals. Read more: climate.gov/news-features/…
