The ongoing fires in Greece as seen by #Copernicus Sentinel-2. This image was taken on 23 June and uses shortwave IR bands to highlight the burning areas in orange and already burnt areas in dark red. Copernicus EMS was activated to provide initial estimations of fire extent and monitoring.

Greece's green land surface contrasts with surrounding dark blue sea, in short wave infrared bands to highlight the burning areas in bright orange and already burnt areas in dark red.

🗣 "Siempre ha hecho calor en verano".

Sí, pero no hay precedentes de un junio tan cálido como el actual. No hay más que ver la gráfica de anomalías.

Y no es un caso aislado: entre 2022 y 2024 hubo 7 récords de meses calidos. El último récord de mes frío fue febrero de 2005.

A better formulation would be: the slowing of the AMOC unambigeously contributes to the present-day Atlantic ‘cold blob’

Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf @rahmstorf.bsky.social · Jun 23

A study confirms what we have long argued: the spectacular Atlantic 'cold blob' is the result of a slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, which transports warm waters into that region. That's the only part of Earth that resisted #globalwarming. 🌊
