This is corporate manslaughter!

Every new well that Shell sinks kills more people.

Recent cutting-edge work by #climate scientists demonstrates how we can now attribute the deaths that will be caused from individual oil & gas projects...

Shell is ready to invest more in Italy to boost hydrocarbon production, the head of the energy group's Italian unit said on Wednesday, urging the government to allow new drilling.

⚖️ Most scientists agree #Greenland melt will likely tip the Atlantic currents, but can the #WestAntarcticIceSheet melt stabilize it?

Has anyone else been dealing with some serious headline whiplash recently?

Even for those of us who follow #climate and #energy matters closely, it can be hard to know what the hell is going on!

So here's a thread to help climate communicators get a grip on how to deal with this 🧵

Join today's #ClimTip webinar with Jan Swierczek-Jereczek from @ucm.es on this process called rate-induced tipping and the stability of Antarctic Ice Sheet.

⚠️ New study in @nature.com shows convincing observational evidence that the Greenland Ice Sheet, Atlantic Ocean currents (AMOC), Amazon rainforest & South American monsoons – are all losing resilience.

1/ Headlines in 2023 warned the AMOC – the Atlantic “conveyor belt” that warms Europe – could collapse in 2025.

New research led by @jonbakerocean.bsky.social ‬in @nature.com challenges that: shutdown this century is unlikely.

But weakening is real, and risky. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Continued Atlantic overturning circulation even under climate extremes - Nature
Climate models suggest that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is unlikely to collapse this century, owing to stabilization from wind-driven upwelling in the Southern Ocean.

Hello everyone. Today in “One day, one paper”, Despite a 26% drop in global burned area from 2002 to 2021, human exposure to wildland fires rose by 40%, especially in Africa. Population growth and expansion of the wildland-urban interface doubled exposure per burned area unit 🌎
Increasing global human exposure to wildland fires despite declining burned area
Although half of Earth’s population resides in the wildland-urban interface, human exposure to wildland fires remains unquantified. We show that the population directly exposed to wildland fires incre...

🌊 The Atlantic “conveyor belt” (AMOC) is weakening under climate change. A new @nature.com study suggests collapse is unlikely this century, but the risks remain very serious.

Hear from lead author @jonbakerocean.bsky.social in our next webinar.

Last month's total #Arctic sea ice volume averaged the 5th lowest on record for the month of July. This was about 60% below 1979 levels and 41% below the 1979-2024 July average.

Had a fantastic time at the TipESM and ClimTip Joint Annual Meeting in Paris. I really enjoyed the intense discussion on tipping point impacts and behaviour, as well as thought-provoking breakout groups and storyline sessions encouraging us to think outside the box and reconsider our assumptions.

❓Did you know that many climate models—the ones we rely on for future planning—have a serious blind spot and may be overconfident.

A new study in @commsearth.bsky.social reveals why this is a problem. And it’s all about polar ice sheets and climate tipping points. 1/🧵
