There are numerous feedbacks that can further accelerate the temperature rise. Higher temperatures come with more water vapor in the atmosphere, an important feedback since water vapor is also a potent greenhouse gas.

Surface precipitable water reached a record high of 27.139 kg/m² in July 2023, as illustrated by the image below, adapted from NOAA, from an earlier post. Worryingly, a value of 26.138 kg/m² was reached in May 2024, much higher than the 25.378 kg/m² in May 2023, which raises fears that surface precipitable water will reach an even higher peak in 2024 than was reached in 2023.
DJ, It can be very cold in some places due to a totally disrupted jet-stream...The big picture however is "beyond alarming"!

Climate collapse = pandemics !

H5N1 did spread even to Antarctica...only Australia/New Zealand so far did not see H5N1 in wild birds...Those birds get eaten by cat/rat like animals also catching H5N1...foxes, swines...

The decline of permafrost results in more meltwater that speeds up the flow of rivers. The image on the right shows sea surface temperatures as high as 18.1°C in the Bering Strait on June 27, 2024.
DJ A look at https://www.ventusky.com/?p=70.7;-34.8;3&l=temperature-2m or https://www.ventusky.com/?p=70.7;-34.8;3&l=temperature-2m showing +10C on parts of Greenland...

Mountains often have parts made up of rock kept glueed together by ice...If the ice melts parts of the mountain collapses...
