We got it wrong. We're a lot more fucked than anyone thought. If someone is telling you we can limit warming to 2.5C by 2100 they're lying. Or even 3C by 2050 they're hoping for something that can't likely happen.

Text covers both images. "It can’t be stated strongly enough how fast the climate feedback cascade is now ramping up. Surface air temperatures in the Arctic are now predicted to be up to + 20 degrees C (+ 36 degrees F) above the average for the date on November 17. The month of October averaged + 5 to + 10 degrees C (+ 9 to + 18 degrees F) above average for the date across the Arctic. Last January through March (3 months running) were up to + 10 to 15 C (+ 18 to + 27 F above average across large parts of the Arctic. Blue Ocean Events in both polar regions are becoming likely much sooner all the time and could even come in 2026. That will send the Earth into much more rapid, catastrophic warming. Time has run out. Unless the world acts aggressively without delay to rapidly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, the next El Nino could bring the world near + 2 C and we could see + 3 C within another 15 years. We are on course to irreversible extinction level warming even for humans. We are now past + 1.5 C (+ 2.7 F) which was predicted to take about 15 more years just 3 years ago."

At first the idea of abandoning your home is surreal. Then the taps run dry and hesitancy turns to panic.

A large climate migration is upon us.

Taps are running dry in Iran. Decades of bad decisions are to blame.
Iran’s water crisis is so dire the president has proposed evacuating the capital. Largely at fault are official policies that exhausted precious water resources.

Text is for all images The Kara Sea in the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia on average begins to freeze over in September in the northern parts and October in the southern parts, with the entire sea usually ice-covered by December. This year it may not freeze at all. Some of the largest stores of frozen methane hydrates in the world lie on the shallow sea floor here. The shallowest parts of the Kara Sea are in its central and southeastern regions, with over 40% of the sea being less than 50 meters (160 feet) deep. Current Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTAs) for the date in the Kara Sea are up to + 3.0 degrees C ( + 5.4 F). September saw anomalies for the date of + 6 to + 15 C (+ 10 to + 27 F). Saltwater in the ocean freezes at about - 2 degrees C (+ 28 degrees F) depending on exact salinity so the current anomalies for the date are about + 5 C (9.4 F) above the freezing point. The Kara Sea floor has also warmed, primarily due to the influx of warmer Atlantic currents and the thawing of subsea permafrost. The sea floor in the western part of the sea has seen the most significant warming, with bottom sediments reaching temperatures up to + 5.0 C (+ 9.4 F) in some areas, which is consistent with the loss of ice-bearing permafrost at those sea floor locations. Methane releases to the atmosphere are increasing and atmospheric values measured here are significantly above the global average. The warming power of methane in the atmosphere is about 80 times that of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years. The South Kara Sea shelf, particularly offshore from the Yamal Peninsula, contains the largest known deposits of seafloor methane in the Kara Sea. This is an area of massive seabed methane escape, primarily due to thawing subsea permafrost, with extensive gas releases observed over an area of at least 7,500 square km in water depths greater than 20 meters, according to Phys.org and AGU Publications.

Text is for both images The problem here is Blue Ocean Events (BOEs) (less than 1 million square km of sea ice remaining) at both poles are looking increasingly likely in 2026. Arctic sea ice coverage and especially thickness has decreased significantly year to year and Antarctic sea ice is thinning rapidly now with warmer water rising from below. A Double BOE introduces unprecedentedly large non linearities into the trend. And the next El Niño adds what could this time be a quasi permanent step increase of up to about + 0.3 degree C (+ 0.5 F) if it is intense which looks increasingly likely - also in 2026. I believe warming on the order of half a degree C in 2026 alone is a significant possibility. I hope I’m wrong because otherwise the curve will take off much more steeply and we could reach + 3 C (+ 6 F) of warming two decades earlier - in the 2030s. Once we hit + 2.5 C (+ 5 F) there is probably no stopping a rise to + 8 C (+ 14 F) or higher. + 3 C is generally thought by most climate scientists to be human extinction level warming. On the other hand, if renewables switch out fossils as aggressively as possible and most of us go vegetarian, we stop demanding McMansions and multiple intercontinental jet trips each year, etc. AND we find and implement a large scale atmospheric carbon sequestration solution, we could bend the curve slowly down. But we have no time to waste. If we do see on the order of a + 0.5 C rise in 2026, I think we will have no choice but to implement large scale stratospheric aerosol injection to forestall catastrophic warming. That will come with other risks to life on Earth many of which are as yet unknown.

For both images The Southern Hemisphere mid latitude Marine Heat Waves are intensifying rapidly as is meltwater from sea ice around Antarctica. These are Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTAs) FOR THE DATE and just 7 days apart so any increase is more than seasonal warming. At this rate of far above seasonal warming we are headed to a first ever recorded Blue Ocean Event (less than 1 million square kilometers of sea ice remaining) around Antarctica by March 2026. An El Niño which could reach record intensity looks increasingly likely by summer 2026. A first ever recorded Arctic Blue Ocean Event looks increasingly likely by October 2026. The rate of of g l o b a l w a r m i n g in 2026 will likely set a record by year’s end. We are in a world of trouble. We must drive down global greenhouse gas emissions to net zero and then well below zero - post haste - or the planet will not be habitable for humans within our childrens’ lifetimes. Image 1.

Text covers all three images. The warm Agulhas Current off the southern end of Africa is one of the most powerful boundary currents in the world. It typically flows southward along the east coast of Africa, turns west off the southern tip of Africa and then mostly doubles back on itself and turns east, only contributing a minor portion of its flow to the more southerly Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) which is 5 x larger than any other current in the world. But that isn’t happening now. Instead almost all of the Agulhas is flowing directly into the ACC. What’s really concerning though is that the Agulhas has been running much warmer than usual - and it is usually quite warm to begin with. This massive additional heat flux into the ACC is occuring as multiple large marine heat waves are rapidly building just north of the ACC, particularly in the SW and SE South Pacific and the SE South Atlantic. Virtually the entire ACC is now significantly anomolously warm for the date. This has dire implications for increasing sea ice melt around Antarctica. We appear to be headed toward the first ever Blue Ocean Event (less than 1 million square km of sea ice remaining) which was expected to first occur in the Arctic and by a wide margin in number of years. But it’s becoming ever more likely that a BOE will occur first in Antarctica - and we could be just 3 months away form it. A BOE is a BFD for global climate because open ocean absorbs vastly more solar radiation than does sea ice. But whats even worse is a BOE in the Antarctic will hasten one in the Arctic. The g l o b a l w a r m i n g impacts of just an Antarctic BOE will be massive and much greater than from one in the Arctic. That’s because the sea ice around Antarctica extends much further equatorward than in the Arctic so the solar radiation is over a larger area and gets more intense sunlight. But the impacts of both will be even worse - they will be catastrophic to habitability of many species including that… An El Niño is expected by summer according to the U.S. Climate Prediction Center. El Niños can raise global average surface air temperatures by several tenths of a degree C or more. The coming one could be intense judging by the unusually warm water in place not only in the western tropical Pacific but also in other massive marine heat waves in the North Pacific centered at about 43 degrees North extending all across the North Pacific and in the SW South Pacific extending from Australia and New Zealand roughly a third of the way across the South Pacific. These MHWs will intensify the El Nino greatly. All of these MHWs are intensifying except for the North Pacific one but it is retaining much of its surface heat despite the approach of winter because the heat extends quite deep and it will warm back up again by late next spring. We are heading into uncharted waters. Image: current Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTAs) for the date including + 6.3 degrees C (+ 11.3 degrees F) in the open ocean well offshore of the southern end of Africa (from earth.nullschool.net). The blue color around Antarctica shows cooler than average for the date water because of cold melt water at the surface from both accelerating melt from Antarctic sea ice and accelerating continental glacial melt.
