According to ERA5 the Temperature Deviation in 2023 was 1.48C, not 1.43C that JRA-55 reported earlier this week, so EVEN CLOSER to the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius set by the Agreement of Paris.

Actually it's a matter of hundredths of Degrees Celsius. Not relevant if the Global Temperature Deviation of 2023 was 1.43C or 1.48C IMO.
From a substantial point of view we have already reached the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius set by the Agreement of Paris for the Global Temperature Deviation of 2023.

The Ocean Acidification issue is worsening as a consequence of the increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.
In fact in the graphs reported you can see the pH of the Oceans which is decreasing. Acidity is inverse of pH which is defined like this:
pH = - log[H+] where [H+] is the ions Hydrogen H+ concentration.

I agree with you, but...
I thought most of us were going to die from the climate crisis. I was wrong
In an extract from her book Not the End of the World, data scientist Hannah Ritchie explains how her work taught her that there are more reasons for hope than despair about climate change

Oil industry veteran to lead next round of Cop climate change summit
Mukhtar Babayev is named president-in-waiting of UN climate summit to be held in November
www.theguardian.com
Cop29, the next round of UN talks to tackle the climate crisis, will be led by another veteran of the oil and gas industry.
Mukhtar Babayev, Azerbaijan’s ecology and natural resources minister, has been appointed the president-in-waiting for the Cop29 climate talks when they take place in the country in November.

Didn't do any comment to the news because IMO true problem is to have COP29 in a Petrostate like Azerbaijan.
Think that only when we will overtake the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius set by the Agreement of Paris for the Global Temperature Deviation we will understand that we need oil industry and Petrostates to stay out of COP decisions, as former Vice President Al Gore suggested.
Agree. Problem is that mankind only acts when things get worse while we should prevent damages to the Earth.
Since the pH and the acidity have an inverse relationship in this graph we can better see their behaviour with respect to time.
Is 2024 going to be the first full year to breach 1.5C of warming?
With 2023 the warmest year on record, 2024 could see the unwelcome milestone of 1.5C of warming reached for a full year
www.theguardian.com
The year 2023 has been confirmed as the warmest in recorded history, with average temperatures topping 1.5C of heating above preindustrial levels for more than one third of the year. It continues the rapid warming trend, with the 10 warmest years in human history all having occurred since 2010.
So what could 2024 hold? Forecasts suggest the year ahead is likely to be another record breaker, with a strong possibility that this could be the first full year to go beyond 1.5C of warming.
Analysis: China’s emissions set to fall in 2024 after record growth in clean energy - Carbon Brief
China’s CO2 emissions are set to fall in 2024 and could be facing structural decline, due to record growth in clean energy.
www.carbonbrief.org
China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are set to fall in 2024 and could be facing structural decline, due to record growth in the installation of new low-carbon energy sources.
This is a good news.
In January 2024 South America is already breaking monthly records of high temperatures,starting from BRAZIL.
What's NEXT?
First time that I see a graph of Methane (CH4) concentration in the atmosphere.
Methane (CH4 potent greenhouse gas) reached a preliminary new record high value in September 2023 (1927.4 ppb).
ppb stands for Parts Per Billion
Wish to add that Methane is responsible for 30% of Current Warming and 0.5 degree Celsius of Temperature Deviation meaning that its contribution to Global Warming is not negligible.

As you can see in the reported graphs the Ocean Heat Content (OHC) is rapidly accelerating at each depth in last years because of Global Warming. As I said in a previous post 93% of the energy imbalance due to the Green House Effect is absorbed by the Oceans.
That's why we have so many stronger hurricanes.
In 2023 the global ocean experienced average daily MHW (marine heat wave) coverage of 20% well above the previous 2016 record of 17% in 2016.
Temperature Deviation of December 2023 at 1.78°C above the baseline, quite possibly the largest monthly anomaly in the last 125,000 years.
