According to Copernicus the Global Temperature Deviation of January was not 1.56C but 1.65C.
Wish to remind that January 2024 was hottest January on record.
Climate change will bring megafloods to California
Climate change is making it a matter of time before a megaflood hits the state.

In my Climate Research I read about this risk of megaflood in California.Climate change will bring megafloods to California

The Climate Change issue is a REALLY SERIOUS MATTER!
With the record month of January 2024 we also have:
- the eighth record breaking month in a row and
- twelve months in a row (Feb 23-Jan 24) with a Global Temperature Deviation more than 1.5ºC above the pre-industrial reference baseline.
Climate change has important implications for the health and futures of children and young people, yet they have little power to limit its harm, making them vulnerable to climate anxiety. This is the first large-scale investigation of climate anxiety in children and young people globally and its relationship with perceived government response.

Joe Biden just did the rarest thing in US politics: he stood up to the oil industry | Bill McKibben
The Biden administration suspended new permits for natural gas terminals. Can we see more of this kind of backbone?
www.theguardian.com
Ten days ago Joe Biden did something remarkable, and almost without precedent – he actually said no to big oil.
His administration halted the granting of new permits for building liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals, something Washington had been handing out like M&Ms on Halloween for nearly a decade. It’s a provisional “no” – Department of Energy experts will spend the coming months figuring out a new formula for granting the licenses that takes the latest science and economics into account – but you can tell what a big deal it is because of the howls of rage coming from the petroleum industry and its gaggle of politicians.
GO BIG PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN!
Is there a site that gives local/regional avg temp through the years?
Update: I found this site and was able to see Las Vegas. We are actually in a cooling period for the last few years. LOL

Being in a valley with lots growth in EVs in recent years, including Amazon Rivian vans and visitors driving EVs, wonder if that is the cause of our localized cooling. 
World's first year-long breach of key 1.5C warming limit
The last 12 months were the hottest on record, temporarily sending the world past a deeply symbolic mark.
www.bbc.com
The period from February 2023 to January 2024 reached 1.52C of warming, according to the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service.
So the threshold of 1.5C for the Global Temperature Deviation set by the Agreement of Paris has been officially overtaken.

TSLA will win
EDIT: More specifically, January according to NASA Gistemp...

January 2024 was hottest January on record.
Former Vice President Al Gore is inviting all of us to a @ClimateReality training in NYC from April 12-14.
Al points out the importance of this training after the world's hottest year on record.

Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing ‘devastating’ tipping point, study finds
Collapse in system of currents that helps regulate global climate would be at such speed that adaptation would be impossible
www.theguardian.com
But the system is being eroded by the faster-than-expected melt-off of Greenland’s glaciers and Arctic ice sheets, which pours freshwater into the sea and obstructs the sinking of saltier, warmer water from the south. Amoc has declined 15% since 1950 and is in its weakest state in more than a millennium, according to previous research that prompted speculation about an approaching collapse
They found Amoc is already on track towards an abrupt shift, which has not happened for more than 10,000 years and would have dire implications for large parts of the world.
It also mapped some of the consequences of Amoc collapse. Sea levels in the Atlantic would rise by a metre in some regions, inundating many coastal cities. The wet and dry seasons in the Amazon would flip, potentially pushing the already weakened rainforest past its own tipping point. Temperatures around the world would fluctuate far more erratically. The southern hemisphere would become warmer. Europe would cool dramatically and have less rainfall. While this might sound appealing compared with the current heating trend, the changes would hit 10 times faster than now, making adaptation almost impossible.
Found another article about this matter of the AMOC collapse to point out the gravity of this issue.Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing ‘devastating’ tipping point, study finds

Melting ice could create chaos in US weather and quickly overwhelm oceans, studies warn
A new simulation says the AMOC — the ocean current at the center of the fictional 'Day After Tomorrow' climate change disaster movie — is set to collapse at some point in the future.

Scientists say the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) – the ocean current at the center of the fictional "Day After Tomorrow" climate change disaster movie – is on the path towards collapse in the future.
