   The JMA has just released its assessment of global surf temps in Oct   
   2023.  Like other agencies it finds Oct is the latest of a string of   
   months that are well above prev records.   
   In the JMA dataset new records are typically .01-.05 above the prev   
   record for that month.   
   But Oct 2023 is 10x that -- more than 1/3 of a deg C above the super   
   El Nino years of 2015/16.

   Monthly Anomalies of Global Average Surface Temperature in October (1891 -   
   2023,   
   preliminary value)   
      
   The monthly anomaly of the global average surface temperature in   
   October 2023 (i.e. the average of the near-surface air temperature over   
   land and the SST) was +0.74°C above the 1991-2020 average (+1.26°C   
   above the 20th century average), and was the warmest since 1891. On a   
   longer time scale, global average surface temperatures have risen at a   
   rate of about 0.70°C per century.

   Don't worry, we'll never run out of oil   
   Interesting Engineering, 9 Nov 2022   
   That being said, at current consumption, we have by some accounts an   
   estimated 47 years of oil left to be extracted. That equates to somewhere in   
   the region of 1.65 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves. Other sources up   
   this estimate a bit, but most agree we have around 50 years left, give or take.
