Hottest 10 years ever? Here apparenlty

Apparently the ARMY and a EV car guru went to break open some dams on the river prompting this thread.
"The two DOGE agents even flew to California with the goal of turning the pumps on themselves, in what people familiar with the incident characterized as a stunt for a “photo op.”
Days after that unsuccessful DOGE trip, the White House ordered the US Army Corps to release water from the Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and Schafer Dam at Lake Success. Ultimately, 2.2 billion gallons flowed out of the two dams into a dry California lakebed before panicked local water managers and Republican and Democratic California lawmakers beseeched the Army Corps to shut it down."
Some other parts of that article might be political.
I like warm over cold yet this seems a bit hot?
World Meteorological Organization: Last 10 Years Have Been the Hottest on Record
A WMO report also found that 2024 was the warmest year in a 175-year observational period.

Pardon my cynicism, ND, but any organisation beginning with "World", rings alarm bells with me.Quote:

"NASA's latest report highlights an alarming acceleration in sea level rise. In 2024, the rate of rise was nearly a quarter of an inch per year, surpassing expectations. This increase was driven by unusual ocean warming and significant meltwater from glaciers"
One inch is 25.4mm I think so that may be about 6mm in 2024? I wonder if NASA is avg or specifically at one place?
EDIT- Found it :)
Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or thermal expansion. According to a NASA-led analysis, last year’s rate of rise was 0.23 inches (0.59 centimeters) per year, compared to the expected rate of 0.17 inches (0.43 centimeters) per year.
“The rise we saw in 2024 was higher than we expected,” said Josh Willis, a sea level researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “Every year is a little bit different, but what’s clear is that the ocean continues to rise, and the rate of rise is getting faster and faster.”

Having the wherewithal to measure a 6mm increase over such a large, irregular surface is mind boggling! I wonder what else they're satellites are really capable of? I'm sure the average, Joe Blow will never know!Quote:
