Get ready for several years of killer heat, top weather forecasters warn

WASHINGTON — Get ready for several years of even more record-breaking heat that pushes Earth to more deadly, fiery and uncomfortable extremes, two of the world’s top weather agencies forecast.


There’s an 80% chance the world will break another annual temperature record in the next five years, and it’s even more probable that the world will again exceed the international temperature threshold set 10 years ago, according to a five-year forecast released Wednesday by the World Meteorological Organization and the U.K. Meteorological Office.

“Higher global mean temperatures may sound abstract, but it translates in real life to a higher chance of extreme weather: stronger hurricanes, stronger precipitation, droughts,” said Cornell University climate scientist Natalie Mahowald, who wasn’t part of the calculations but said they made sense. “So higher global mean temperatures translates to more lives lost.”


With every tenth of a degree the world warms from human-caused climate change “we will experience higher frequency and more extreme events (particularly heat waves but also droughts, floods, fires and human-reinforced hurricanes/typhoons),” emailed Johan Rockstrom, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. He was not part of the research.

And for the first time there’s a chance — albeit slight _ that before the end of the decade, the world’s annual temperature will shoot past the Paris climate accord goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) and hit a more alarming 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) of heating since the mid-1800s, the two agencies said.


There’s an 86% chance that one of the next five years will pass 1.5 degrees and a 70% chance that the five years as a whole will average more than that global milestone, they figured.

The projections come from more than 200 forecasts using computer simulations run by 10 global centres of scientists.

Ten years ago, the same teams figured there was a similar remote chance — about 1% — that one of the upcoming years would exceed that critical 1.5 degree threshold and then it happened last year. This year, a 2-degree Celsius above pre-industrial year enters the equation in a similar manner, something UK Met Office longer term predictions chief Adam Scaife and science scientist Leon Hermanson called “shocking.”

“It’s not something anyone wants to see, but that’s what the science is telling us,” Hermanson said. Two degrees of warming is the secondary threshold, the one considered less likely to break, set by the 2015 Paris agreement.


Technically, even though 2024 was 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial times, the Paris climate agreement’s threshold is for a 20-year time period, so it has not been exceeded. Factoring in the past 10 years and forecasting the next 10 years, the world is now probably about 1.4 degrees Celsius (2.5 degrees Fahrenheit) hotter since the mid 1800s, World Meteorological Organization climate services director Chris Hewitt estimated.

“With the next five years forecast to be more than 1.5C warmer than preindustrial levels on average, this will put more people than ever at risk of severe heat waves, bringing more deaths and severe health impacts unless people can be better protected from the effects of heat. Also we can expect more severe wildfires as the hotter atmosphere dries out the landscape,” said Richard Betts, head of climate impacts research at the UK Met Office and a professor at the University of Exeter.


Ice in the Arctic — which will continue to warm 3.5 times faster than the rest of the world — will melt and seas will rise faster, Hewitt said.

What tends to happen is that global temperatures rise like riding on an escalator, with temporary and natural El Nino weather cycles acting like jumps up or down on that escalator, scientists said. But lately, after each jump from an El Nino, which adds warming to the globe, the planet doesn’t go back down much, if at all.

“Record temperatures immediately become the new normal,” said Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson.

Bullshit. Wanna see weather go nuts in real time? Wait 2-3 days (June 1st) when trillion of tonnes of plasma from the sun (CME) slams into earth's atmosphere at 3000km per second. It's a biggun coming.






Have a nice day.

What he said. That's just one tractor (New Holland T9)

He said he seeded 6000 hectares (23 sections). He's definitely running 3 trains to pull that off on 2 12hr shifts.

I recently toured an operation double that size (51 sections) and they run 6 top tier Case tracked tractors pulling 80ft seeders trains. They own 3 fuel trucks to feed them and support vehicles. 2 B train and a transfer truck for about 30 pieces of equipment plus trucks of various sizes.

I visited a farm in N. Alberta many years ago. They have over a township in land - it's a HUGE operation run by a family who had lots of kids, most of whom were boys. I think there's 8 boys in a family of 10 kids, but I may be misremembering. All I know is there were a lot of boys in that family.

The equipment they had was amazing - millions of dollars' worth. Huge tractors, combines etc. Apparently, it's quite the sight to see come harvest time.

They also had milking cows, and you could literally eat off the floors it was so clean. Maybe this isn't "news" to some on this forum, but for me it was an amazing experience. Each cow had a "tag" which was connected to the milking system which noted how much milk each cow produced, how the cow was eating, when inoculations were done, etc. etc. All the information one would require ensuring that each cow was healthy & producing good quality milk.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience & the family was very welcoming, showing us around with pride in all they had accomplished.

Half-breeds would be a good start.
I was being facetious. If you have to tow a great big diesel generator in combination with everything else that you’re towing., just to try to keep the batteries up on an electric tractor…just cut out the batteries.

Half-breed like a locomotive being diesel electric?

It's not just drive wheels. There is hydraulic everything.

Have to (or are suppose to) start somewhere, & diesel/electric tech is a known thing as opposed to, “just mandate it in and the technology will catch up, etc…” with magic batteries and so on…
Diesel electric is juicy. An APU from an airliner is more efficient than ICE diesel and would handle all the Kwh

I'm sure you've seen what looks a tire fire out in a field but it's just a 18L diesel. We don't need that but we need that.

Coincidentally one of the generators we used when crushing diesel was an 18 L diesel, mated up to a genny in place of the transmission, with a control panel mounted behind the genny. That fit into the back third of a 53 foot trailer. Occasionally we’d have to do a cold start (+15°C) & empathy on the black smoke until it warmed up.

Normally, we would have a smaller generator in another out trailer that we would fire up and run for an hour, we wouldn’t fire up the big generator until it’s coolant. Temperature was over 100°

Cat D5E is a D6 half-breed that punches far above its class.
