One more dot on the graphs for our annual model-observations comparisons updates. Given how extraordinary the last two years have been, there are a few highlights to note. First, we have updated the versions of a few of the observational datasets: UAH TLT/TMT are now on version 6.1, and the NOAA NCEI surface temperature data are now version 6. We use the same collations of Hansen81/Hansen88/CMIP3/CMIP5/CMIP6 model output as previously.

This article in the NY Times covers a recent scientific article that concludes that the snail darter, a fish species in the Tennessee River basin that was previously listed for protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), is not a species after all. Using a range of genetic analyses, the authors conclude that the snail darter is closely related to another darter species (the Stargazing Darter), and that the genetic distance between those two species is much closer than for any other specie

To understand how warming could impact Antarctica, experts are looking to the past, to a time more than 100,000 years ago when the Antarctic was around 3 degrees C warmer than it is now. A new study finds that the West Antarctic ice sheet did not completely collapse during this period, as prior modeling had suggested, offering some hope for the future.
