Holy wow, +3.5 ppm CO₂ last year, up from +2.4 ppm average the past decade, and +0.6 ppm in the 1960s.
It gets scarier the closer you look at it. All this is a stress test for the planet, and it's buckling.
Two big reasons for the massive increase: wildfires, and the ocean sinks are shutting down.

What's beyond vested interests? Can we use the concept of countermovemement in more ways to understand climate obstruction? @kvowles.bsky.social and I think with a common but perhaps underused concept to understand reactionary climate politics in Sweden. @cssn.org

Israel has announced it's building a concentration camp in Gaza.
Imagine seeing this news and deciding you should aim your fire at the few politicians speaking out, rather than condemning the crime.

About 1500 of the approx. 2300 people that will have lost their lives across 12 European cities last week would still live, if it wasn't for our burning of oil, coal and gas. If we care about the right to life, we need to stop burning fossil fuels. www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...

Det finns ingenting som säger att klimatförnekelse försvinner bara för att effekterna av den globala uppvärmningen blir tydliga
Vädret manipuleras och de över hundra dödsfallen i Texas översvämningar kan jämställas med mord. Det hävdar några republikanska politiker. ”Det är del av en större strategi”, säger forskaren Martina Angela Caretta.

While almost everyone has fallen for Netanyahu's ploy of focusing on Iranian-US-Israeli air strikes, Israel has been intensifying its genocide. For the sake of humanity, ALL EYES ON GAZA! www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...
Israel kills at least 43 Palestinians in Gaza, including aid seekers
Among the dozens killed are 20 aid seekers, as NGO warns Israel is also deliberately blocking energy access.

Som enda svenska bank river Nordea upp sitt eget klimatlöfte och öppnar för nya lån till några av världens mest klimatskadliga fossilprojekt. Det visar en granskning av Fair Finance Guide och Naturskyddsföreningen.
