Essentially all inhabited places on the planet were warmer in 2024 than the recent baseline. Most of the ocean area too.

About 1/3 of the planet experienced record high temperatures.

We know why.

And we know how to fix it.

Meteorologists!

I run a science ed. nonprofit called @skypeascientist.bsky.social. We match scientists w/classrooms for virtual Q&As.

We always run out of meteorologists before any other speciality.
