July was Earth's hottest month ever recorded

July 2021 has made history as the hottest month on Earth ever recorded, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

“In this case, first place is the worst place to be,” NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, Ph.D., said in a news release on Friday.

“July is typically the world’s warmest month of the year, but July 2021 outdid itself as the hottest July and month ever recorded,” said Spinrad. “This new record adds to the disturbing and disruptive path that climate change has set for the globe.”

I believe they are dead wrong. We are going to face the music now and ultimately we will be running out of handkerchiefs.

Climate Change is irreversible!
Just my humble opinion

In-depth Q&A: The IPCC’s sixth assessment report on climate science | Carbon Brief

What does the report say about abrupt changes and ‘tipping points’?

The way that the Earth system is responding to warming is currently “proportionate to the rate of recent temperature change”, the report says, but “some aspects may respond disproportionately”.

These kinds of abrupt changes happen “substantially faster than the rate of change in recent history”, the report says. In some cases, abrupt change “occurs because the system state actually becomes unstable”. This is a “tipping point”, the authors explain, defined as “a critical threshold beyond which a system reorganises, often abruptly and/or irreversibly”.

The table below – Table 4.10 in the report – provides a summary of potential tipping elements and abrupt changes, including the advances from previous IPCC reports.
