Today is #ShowYourStripes Day 🔵🔴 A single image. A century of data. Every city, state, county -- the planet -- has an impact of climate change story — and the stripes show it. Post yours. Highlight the warming where you live. Start the conversation.

The climate stripes for more than 800 cities and 150 countries worldwide have been updated with temperature data from 2024 - and all are available to be downloaded for FREE for #ShowYourStripesDay Help us make a difference rdg.ac/3xPtlH2 #ShowYourStripes

Every country is warming. Every country is experiencing more extreme weather events because of climate change, mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. Time to #ShowYourStripes and start climate conversations to prompt actions to reduce emissions. ShowYourStripes.info

The story of the Warming Stripes #ShowYourStripes youtube.com/watch?v=hM6tOr…

Did you know that NOT all the atmosphere is warming?Greenhouse gases are trapping excess heat in the lower atm & oceans. To compensate (energy balance) the upper atm is emitting more heat, thus cooling. This was all predicted decades ago by models. It happening. #ShowYourStripes

But let's assume classifying weather stations by their surrounding population density is at least somewhat useful for eliminating biases. How does the global land average from the 19% of very rural stations compare to the average of all stations? They are extremely similar. 5/

Climate mitigation and adaptation measures are not costs. They are investments. The true costs occur when mitigation fails and adaptation is too slow so we suffer from continually worsening extreme weather events like heatwaves and floods. Invest now to reduce costs in future.

Journalists writing about UK heatwave today: Watch the temperatures rise around the country, including how much warmer than normal they are. istheukhotrightnow.com

Wide areas of the UK are currently 10-12°C above normal for the time of day and time of the year. Updated every hour: istheukhotrightnow.com

1°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1°C. Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.

Ed Hawkins Yes, not only does land generally warm faster than the global average (because oceans warm slower), but in some locations, temperature extremes are rising faster than the averages. Western Europe peak temperatures are up over 3°C since 1970. x.com/RARohde/status…

In a UK newspaper opinion piece today, Matt Ridley says: "winter nighttime temperatures have risen faster than summer daytime ones" Um, no, not for the UK which the article is about. In fact, the hottest summer days are warming 2x faster than coldest winter nights.
