Surface air temperature for October 2026

October 2026 was the warmest October on record globally and the third consecutive month with temperatures more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level. The predicted annual global temperature for 2026 is also predicted to exceed 1.5°C. For Europe as a whole, it was the second-warmest October on record. The sea surface temperature for the extra-polar ocean reached a record high for October, as an exceptionally strong El Niño continued to strengthen in the tropical Pacific.

The global surface air temperature is currently hotter than it has ever been this time of the year in recorded history. The global average was 2.11 degrees Celsius higher than it was the same day in 1940 on November 4th 2026, and it was 1.46 degrees higher than it was in 1980. That's a huge temperature change in the blink of an eye. Global warming is real, and the rate our planet is warming at is accelerating. Our oceans are also heating up, and they too are heating at an accelerating rate. We have seen new sea surface temperature records daily since June 2026. The global sea surface temperature was slightly more than one degree Celsius higher than it was in 1980 on November 4th 2026 and it was more than half a degree higher than 2020. One cubic meter of water holds four thousand times more energy than a cubic feet of air so that is a huge and highly significant increase in a tiny geological timeframe. El Nino is a weather pattern where unusually warm ocean conditions form along the tropical west coast of South America. This pattern repeats every few years. This year is a El Nino year and this years El Nino is many magnitudes warmer than it has been at any point in recorded history. The weather will be more extreme all over the globe in the coming months due to this pattern. Many will need to consider if they need to evacuate. Two centuries of unchecked ever-increasing fossil fuel consumption with resulting greenhouse gas pollution is catching up with us. We have changed the earth's atmosphere and our planets energy imbalance and the increasing temperatures we are seeing are a result of that imbalance over time. It will get hotter and hotter as time goes on, and the rate our planet is warming at is accelerating. There is no fix, there is no way we can remove the greenhouse gasses we have already released from the atmosphere and they are not going away on their own in any timeframe that matters. This is a very unfortunate predicament. We absolutely can avoid making this predicament worse, but that is not what the vast majority of people are doing. Most people choose to accelerate the rapid global warming we have caused by driving a car. Please take personal responsibility for the consequences of your own actions and don't drive a car, and don't buy anything you do not strictly need. All forms of human consumption causes additional damage to a biosphere now in rapid unstoppable collapse. You can and should make a difference. #climate #collapse #oceans #temperatures #elnino #biospherecollapse #globalwarming #theweakshallperish #environment

National study pinpoints states with steepest warming trends since 1980

Global warming, the observed increase in Earth's average global surface temperature since preindustrial times (1850–1900), currently stands at around 1.63 degrees Celsius. While this number is expected to continue to rise, local temperatures will not go up uniformly around the world. In regions where warming trends are most pronounced, local adaptation and resilience measures will be especially critical to minimizing risks to ecosystems, agricultural productivity, the built environment, human he

Scientists confirm global warming is accelerating faster than ever recorded

Earth is warming faster than ever recorded, with scientists detecting a major acceleration in global temperatures since around 2015. A new study reveals that the warming rate has surged to approximately 0.35°C per decade, nearly double the average pace observed from 1970 to 2015. After removing natural climate fluctuations, researchers confirmed the acceleration with more than 98% statistical confidence.

"Reducing methane emissions is an effective tool to curb warming in the short term. One way of doing that is producing and eating less meat. Shifting toward more plant-based diets could make a meaningful difference. Raising cattle for human consumption is also one of the main drivers of deforestation, which contributes to warming by eliminating carbon sinks." https://grist.org/food-and-agriculture/the-planets-vital-signs-are-getting-worse-one-of-the-easiest-fixes-is-your-diet/ #GlobalWarming #environment #ClimateChange #climate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #pollution #nature #science

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis "The world’s wealthiest people are not just profiting from the polluting causes of climate breakdown, they are also increasingly cashing in on the catastrophic consequences, according to a study by Oxfam. The global equality organisation has found that the richest 0.1% of the world’s population are heavily invested in disaster preparedness, recovery and reconstruction – a market that is projected to grow from $70bn to $92bn a year by 2029. This gives the planet’s wealthiest and most powerful people a “double dividend” from the climate crisis and, more alarmingly, an incentive to delay or disrupt action to solve the problem, the NGO says." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/oct/27/super-rich-double-dividend-climate-crisis-oxfam #EnvironmentalTerrorism #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #News #HumanRights #AnimalRights #PlanetaryRights #Activism #Climate #Environment

In allowing coal expansion in the Hunter, Chris Minns is pouring fuel on the climate fire. His decision will come back to hurt us all "As someone who lost their home in the black summer bushfires, I was buoyed by the high court finding in favour of a small community group in the Hunter Valley earlier this month. Led by two retired science teachers, Wendy Wales and Tony Lonergan, the Denman Aberdeen Muswellbrook Scone Healthy Environment Group took on a massive coal corporation and won. As a fellow schoolteacher, I felt a particular sense of pride seeing these ordinary Australians act on their care for their community and future generations. In their four-year fight against MACH Energy’s Mount Pleasant coalmine in Muswellbrook, they argued it is no longer OK for big mining corporations to dig up coal and bank piles of cash while pretending the climate pollution from burning that coal is someone else’s problem. The high court agreed that conditions aimed at reducing the climate pollution from burning Australian coal overseas had not been properly considered when the rosily named “Mount Pleasant Optimisation Project” received New South Wales approval. Mining interests quickly responded to the high court’s decision, saying it was a threat to investment. Well, of course it is. But only to the wrong kind of investment – the kind that brings us all more frequent, worse and very costly climate-driven disasters. Now, less than two weeks later, the NSW premier, Chris Minns, has announced plans to introduce special legislation that will allow the very same coal company to increase production at Mount Pleasant by nearly a third, bypassing the state’s usual planning approval process and scrutiny by the courts. Minns says this is necessary to 'protect 400 jobs'. But the mine already has approval to operate until 2032. What message does it send when ordinary Australians fight for years to uphold the law, win in the highest court in the land and then watch our government step in to change the rules?" https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/commentisfree/2026/oct/23/chris-minns-coal-expansion-laws-will-hurt-us-all-climate-mount-pleasant #LaborFail #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalTerrorism #GlobalWarming #News #Environment #HumanRights #AnimalRights #PlanetaryRights #FireMinns #Corruption #Complicity #Australia

Every year, Amazonian rivers spill over their banks and flood the forests around them for months. These wetlands cover around 30% of the Brazilian Amazon. More than 6% of the total area of Amazon floodplain forests and other wetland areas has been cleared over the last 40 years. Nearly a third of that destruction occurred between 2015 and 2024. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

A Belgium-sized area of Amazon wetland has been converted, and losses are climbing

Every year, Amazonian rivers spill over their banks and flood the forests around them for months. These wetlands cover around 30% of the Brazilian Amazon and are often home to riverine families, who live in adapted homes built on stilts. They fish and plant crops with the natural ebb and flow of the rivers. But […]

Minns accused of bypassing high court ruling with laws to allow NSW mine to increase coal production by 32% "The Minns government says it will introduce special legislation to allow a mine in the New South Wales Hunter Valley that was the subject of high court proceedings to increase its coal production by 32% per year. The premier, Chris Minns, said the bill would authorise MACH Energy to increase the annual coal output at its Mount Pleasant coalmine by 4m tonnes to 16.5MT per year until 2032. He claimed it was necessary to save 400 jobs at the site before Christmas. The move comes less than two weeks after the high court ruled that the approval of an expansion at the mine in Muswellbrook was invalid." https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/oct/19/chris-minns-bill-expansion-mount-pleasant-coalmine-high-court-decision #EnvironmentalTerrorism #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #LaborFail #News #HumanRights #AnimalRights #PlanetaryRights #Activism #Environment

IPCC is under pressure to delay publication of key global climate report "Scientists are coming under pressure from some petro-states and major developing countries to delay publication of a key global report on the climate, despite pleas from vulnerable countries worried that postponement could spell disaster for them. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN-convened body of the world’s leading climate scientists, is meeting this week in Addis Ababa to discuss its seventh assessment report, a comprehensive survey of all that is known about the climate crisis. The report, known as AR7, was scheduled to appear in 2028 in time for deliberations at the UN climate summit, Cop33, late that year. Cop33 is scheduled to critique governments’ actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris agreement target of limiting temperatures to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. But a group of countries, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia and including India and China, is pressing for publication of the report to be pushed back to 2029." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/oct/13/ipcc-pressure-delay-publication-climate-report-ar7-cop33 #EnvironmentalTerrorism #FossilFuelLobbyInfluence #Corruption #News #HumanRights #AnimalRights #PlanetaryRights #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Environment
