Climate signals: June 2023 heat records. We have a climate emergency

Have you been watching earth's vital signs recently. I have. They are very concerning. But minimal mainstream reporting of all the signals and temperature records being broken.

Jeff Berardelli, Florida based WFLA News Channel 8’s Chief Meteorologist and Climate Specialist described the situation:

"In my 3 decade-long career being a weather forecaster, and now Chief Meteorologist and Climate Specialist, I have never observed so many of Earth’s vital signs blinking red. Meteorologists and climate scientists all around the world are in awe by the simultaneous literal “off the charts” records being broken. Yes, it’s climate change."

Let us start with this twitter thread by Assaad Razzouk (@AssaadRazzouk)

1. NORTH ATLANTIC TEMPERATURE: FAIL
"North Atlantic Ocean is way beyond record hot right now. The kind of heat that would only be found once in 10s or 100s of thousands of years in a climate before human-caused warming took hold"

2. GLOBAL OCEAN TEMPERATURES: FAIL
"the heat [is] basically statistically impossible before human-caused warming existed. The black line below indicates this year’s sea surface temperature departure (about 4 standard deviations above normal) which is far above records"

3. ANTARCTIC SEA ICE: FAIL
"Departures from normal are the highest ever observed, at a very surprising time of year given that it’s winter there"

The Antarctic sea ice extent rubber band has snapped. Via Professor Eliot Jacobson on Twitter :

“It finally happened, breaking 5 sigma, the same statistical threshold physicists used to prove the existence of the Higgs boson.

"At 2,700,000 km² below the 1991-2020 mean, Antarctic sea ice extent was 5.14s below the mean, roughly a 1-in-7,400,000 chance.”

4. GLOBAL SEA ICE: FAIL
"Global sea ice to be at record departures from normal levels"

5. CANADIAN WILDFIRES: FAIL
"Canada has experienced its worst wildfire season on record in terms of burning area, fire size, and intensity. As the climate warms, areas dry, and fires spread more vigorously"

6. DEFORESTATION: FAIL
"An area the size of Switzerland was cleared from Earth’s most pristine rainforests in 2022, despite promises by world leaders to halt their destruction, new figures show"

7. HEAT DOMES: FAIL
US caught in pincer movement between toxic fumes from Canadian wildfires in the north and a massive heat dome expanding beyond Texas in the South

8. GLOBAL EXTREME HEATING: FAIL

a. Hundreds of records broken in Siberia

b. Hundreds more broken in Japan

c. And hundreds more broken in China

d. Dozens of records broken in Spain, Portugal, Iran

e. New records across Oceania

9. MARINE HEATWAVES INCREASING

Global: NOAA says that 50% of the world’s ocean may experience marine heatwave conditions by September, experimental forecast predicts! (NOAA, 28 June 2023) Global ocean roiled by marine heatwaves, with more on the way

UK and Ireland: Meanwhile the UK and Ireland experiencing a severe marine heatwave with Ocean water temperatures over 5 degrees Celsius above long-term averages for this part of the year, sparking concerns of marine life die-off later this year. The Guardian, 19 June 2023, ‘Unheard of’ marine heatwave off UK and Irish coasts poses serious threat
