RealClimate: unconstrained variations: May 2024

This month’s open thread on climate topics. Many eyes will be on whether April temperatures will be the eleventh month in a row of records…

Note that we have updated the Nenana Ice Classic and Dawson City river icebreaker data and figures (the nominal 13th and 5th earliest breaks (or 15th and 4th, relative to the vernal equinox) in their respective records)).

And a quick note on moderation: if your comment is a personal attack on another commenter rather than a substantive argument, it will simply be deleted. Just like your subsequent complaints. Nobody has time for that.
