Climate science, data, & quality analysis. Independent, non-governmental, open-source.
Berkeley Earth is releasing an early access edition of our new high-resolution temperature dataset. This dataset promises unprecedented regional & local resolution for understanding past climate changes, with a 0.25° x 0.25° spatial resolution. berkeleyearth.org/introducing-th… 🧵
Berkeley Earth's next monthly climate briefing, looking back on June temperatures, will be held online on July 10th at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 5 PM CET. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… It's open for anyone, but geared toward the news media. See you there.

The argument that urban heat islands are biasing temperature records continually comes up. There is a long history of papers showing it's effect minimal globally (and the world is 70% oceans with no urbanization). My colleague @RARohde has a neat updated analysis for global land:…
One of the most essential tests of science is reproducibility. For this chart, I separated our weather station archive into 20 independent 5% samples and computed the global land average of each. The samples vary a bit, but each one paints a similar picture of warming.
