Hadley has released the N Hem SST data for Apr 2018.
The month came in at around +.57C compared with 1980s avgs ranking it
4th warmest for the hemisphere since 1850.
The top 10 warmest N Hem SST's are now:
2017/04 0.676
2016/04 0.650
2015/04 0.607
2018/04 0.569 <--- new #4
1878/04 0.559
2014/04 0.488
2010/04 0.484
2004/04 0.475
2005/04 0.441
1998/04 0.430
The data continue to show an acceleration of warming rates since the 1930s:
From Rate (90% CI)
Deg C/cent
1850 .4067 +- .1021
1900 .7356 +- .1002
1930 .6461 +- .1750
1960 1.165 +- .353
1990 1.611 +- .618
Data for the S Hem is apparently still being processed and the global
SST for Apr will be released next week.

High court says Kate Gallagher ineligible to be elected
ABC News, 09 May 2018 00:35Z
In a surprise move, the AUS High Court has ruled anyone standing for
federal parliament must obtain official confirmation their potential
citizenships have been revoked before they can be nominated to stand
for election. Gallagher started the paperwork 1m before she stood for
election but confirmation had not come through before nominations
closed. The High Court says it was not good enough just to claim
someone had taken all reasonable steps to renounce foreign
citizenship, until it is confirmed the candidate remains a "subject of
a foreign power". The same ruling may now apply to other MP's
and up to 5 by-elections may be called before the next
federal election which must be held before the end of the year.

in Bangkok this Sept, following "lacklustre progress" made the
past fortnight at talks in Bonn, Climate Home reports. Countries have
spent the past 9 days discussing the rules that will govern the
Paris Agreement, but have "become bogged down in technical detail". A
decision is due in Dec in Katowice, Poland.

Use excess wind and solar power to produce hydrogen - report
Excess electricity from wind and solar farms could be used to produce
hydrogen for use in heating and other parts of the energy system,
suggests a report from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. With a
number of large new offshore windfarms due to come online in the UK
over the next few years, "the challenge of balancing supply and demand
will continue to grow", the Guardian writes. The report says the the
extra electricity could be used to split water into hydrogen and
oxygen, with the hydrogen functioning as a form of energy storage for
renewables. "We are seeing continued expansion of renewables. If we've
got a lot of low-carbon power, we want to make sure we're using all of
that", said Dr Jenifer Baxter, the report's lead author. Energy Live
News also has the story. -- Adam Vaughan, The Guardian
