Typhoon Tip Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 https://phys.org/news/2026-05-hot-years.html It addresses the 'surge' nature in which the ongoing GW recency has been observed. It doesn't specifically attempt to nail down why-for that behavior; altho, it does attempt to implicate a contributing faster warming Arctic, citing less ice and snow and pan-dimensional Albedo as causal ... but that's not in depth enough. The global surging phenomenon is (or should be) of particular import. Namely, the uncertainty. There are no predictive tools, man or machine, anticipating when and to what magnitude. This may seem almost Onion obvious, but ... not knowing an entire planetary system is about to move the equivalent energy of every atomic weapon, is bad. And is strangely poetic, wouldn't you agree? Such was the mysterious lurch of late February thru early May, 2023. Yes ... prior to either the onset of +ENSO, but even so... vastly too soon to be sufficiently lag correlated in the first place. I'm still not fully convinced that the switch from negative to positive mode of the ENSO that spring, was causal in the global temperature surge, because of those incongruencies in specific timing - yet I continue to encounter narratives that the El Nino was instrumental. Wrong. Be that whatever it may be ... we are in the similar window now. With the expected onset of +ENSO, "super" this and that, notwithstanding, so it is a testable moment in history. .

bluewave Posted Friday at 12:34 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:34 PM On 5/28/2026 at 3:06 PM, donsutherland1 said: Today was another day of blazing heat in France. Unfortunately, another even more extreme heatwave less than a month later. Translated from French The average thermal anomaly for the next 7 days could reach +9.0°C, which is greater than during the exceptional episode of May 2026, whose return period was estimated at more than 1,000 years. We're just two weeks after breaking that supposed millennial record... The June 2026 heatwave could thus become the most anomalous episode ever observed in France over a one-week period, across all seasons and all durations combined. Furthermore, Monday could enter the Top 3 of the hottest days ever recorded in France, alongside the historical benchmarks of July 25, 2019 (national average temperature of 29.40°C) and August 4, 2003 (29.35°C). If the forecasts hold true, this day would join the most significant dates in French climate history. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris-Jardin du Luxembourg hit 101° today, surpassing the monthly mark of 100° set just yesterday. Even higher temperatures are likely during the weekend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As warm as its been here we've been fortunate enough to avoid these extreme bursts as similar conditions here could yield 110+ highs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago So far, 16 locations in France have reached 40°C (104°F) or above today in an ongoing climate change-enhanced extreme heatwave. Pissos has hit 41.5°C (107°F). While one waits for the final numbers from today and coming days that will rank this heatwave as among the worst in French and western European climate history, I created a digital artwork "It's A Crazy World" to symbolize humanity's unwillingness to confront the cause of ongoing climate change. A burning globe stands before a background of climate stripes, transforming scientific evidence into a stark visual record of the world’s ongoing warming. Europe glows with dangerous heat, while a thermometer planted over France reads 40°C. In the lower left, fossil fuel infrastructure appears almost toy-like against the scale of planetary disruption: small in form, but immense in consequence. At the right, a pale sculptural figure (detail from Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s "Ugolino and His Sons" that I photographed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art) evokes humanity’s mounting suffering under the pressure of a hotter world. This work confronts one of the central absurdities of the modern age. The evidence is overwhelming and unequivocal. The burning of fossil fuels is driving anthropogenic greenhouse gas warming, and that warming is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme heatwaves. Yet humanity continues to extract, burn, subsidize, and consume the very fuels accelerating the crisis with seeming indifference to the harm it is inflicting on the world and its ecosystems. The contrast between beauty and terror is deliberate. The climate stripes are visually elegant, but they record a destabilizing planet. The glowing continents are dramatic, but they signify real risk. The sculptural body, drawn from an image of suffering, gives human form to what can otherwise seem abstract. The quote from a young French climate activist anchors the work in moral urgency, insisting that the crisis is not distant, theoretical, or merely environmental. It is already a question of life and death. "It’s A Crazy World" is about knowing and continuing destructive business as usual anyway. It asks viewers to consider the madness of a civilization capable of measuring its own danger with precision while still choosing to feed the fire.
