Since June 2023, every month has been the hottest ever on record, with February and January of this year setting unprecedented temperature records. This alarming trend is highlighted by April 2024 shaping up to be the warmest April globally since records began. Additionally, the last twelve months have been marked as the planet's hottest-ever recorded period. Unusual climate patterns have emerged, particularly in the polar regions. Antarctic sea ice has been 'behaving strangely,' and the Arctic experienced a below-average winter peak. A record heatwave in Antarctica saw temperatures 40°C above average, exacerbating the effects of global warming. These changes have led to the accelerated melting of Antarctic ice, threatening the preservation of meteorites. A study in Nature Climate Change predicts that up to 75% of Antarctica's meteorites could vanish by the century's end due to glacial melt. This series of climatic anomalies underscores the urgency of addressing climate change.

April 2024 is shaping up to be the warmest April globally since records began in the mid-1800s. However, with only a week of data available for April the uncertainty remains fairly large: https://t.co/npzOUNypmS

Antarctica's #Meteorites are vanishing due to #ClimateChange. According to a new study in @NatureClimate, up to 75% of Antarctica's meteorites could be lost by the end of the century due to glacial melt. @ETH @ETH_en https://t.co/JyzW4fmJed
A recent article in the @guardian provided a rather alarming framing of some extremely unusual Antarctic temperatures that occurred back in 2022. As @BerkeleyEarth noted at the time, this was due to a rare atmospheric river over the region: https://t.co/EktixMX7T6

Thousands of meteorites could sink more quickly into Antarctic ice as a result of warming temperatures, accelerating the inaccessibility of many of these samples of extraterrestrial material, suggests a study published in @NatureClimate. https://t.co/mxANIjEudz https://t.co/LON0GXSiPu

#Data | This year’s February was the hottest February ever. So was this year’s January. The last seven months of 2023 also marked record highs for those months. Records have been set and broken in successive years, which means that the world is heating up. https://t.co/Gw2a4y6qWh
