Increased Australian fire weather, marine heatwaves and sea levels. The report describes the shift toward drier conditions between April to October across the southwest and southeast, and reduced rainfall in southwest Australia now seems to be a permanent feature of the climate. https://www.csiro.au/en/news/All/News/2024/October/State-of-the-Climate-2024-Increased-fire-weather-marine-heatwaves-and-sea-levels 2 comments 30/10/2024 environment

3000 years of carbon monoxide records show positive impact of global intervention in the 1980s. Levels of the trace gas are now stable or even trending down and have been since the late 1980s – coinciding with the introduction of catalytic converters in cars https://www.csiro.au/en/news/All/News/2023/November/3000-years-of-carbon-monoxide-records-show-positive-impact-of-global-intervention 12 comments 15/11/2023 science

Even temporary global warming above 2℃ will affect life in the oceans for centuries | A climate overshoot that creates warmer oceans with lower oxygen levels will reduce the suitable habitat for many marine species long after CO₂ levels have peaked and declined. https://www.csiro.au/en/news/All/Articles/2023/October/marine-impacts-climate-change 15 comments 11/10/2023 climate

New research by CSIRO—Australia’s national science agency—shows climate change has driven a significant increase in Australia’s forest fire activity over the last three decades. The results also suggest the frequency of forest megafires are likely to continue under future projected climate change. https://www.csiro.au/en/news/News-releases/2021/New-research-links-Australias-forest-fires-to-climate-change 15 comments 29/11/2021 science
