When the Earth warmed by 4C over 10,000 years 76% of all animals on the planet died.

We’re on track for 4C of heating in our children’s lifetimes.

Living through the most dangerous moment in our species history, & most people have no idea.

We’re being distracted to death.

The additional greenhouse gases in the atmosphere now cause about 33 Hiroshima bombs per second of additional heat to be radiated back down to Earth.

The Earth's Energy Imbalance is now ~10 Hiroshimas per second.

But who's counting.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

It would be a lot cleaner for the marine environment and wildlife if NATO did its f*cking job and interdicted Russian-linked shipping, including the 'shadow fleet', and escorted them safely to port and kept them under arrest.

We DON'T need any more oil spills FFS!
The tanker M/T Mersin, frequently seen in Russian ports like Novorossiysk and Taman, is now sinking off the coast of Senegal. The vessel had been heading to Africa but has remained stationary for nearly a week. Another 'mysterious' incident involving Russia-linked shipping.

Africa’s forests have joined the Brazilian Amazon and Australian forests in becoming carbon sources rather than sinks. Around 2010 the previous storage of our carbon emissions flipped, mainly through deforestation and degradation.

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

Some people have a problem with this graph because China and the US use different in axes. For those here is the graph on @ourworldindata.org where you can also compare different countries. This is normalized for purchasing power.

Fascinating that China now has a smaller percentage of people in extreme poverty than the US, and that in the US, extreme poverty has increased since 1990.

From 2030*, passengers of private jets departing from the Netherlands will pay a flight tax of €420 to €2,100, depending on distance. So far, they only paid €29.40, just like ordinary airline passengers.

Yay for Dutch parliament!

We have no shortage of solutions when it comes to the #ClimateCrisis & better city-building. We know what works, & what doesn’t. We know the difference between action & excuse. We have smart cities that inspire us.

We need leadership.

This is a big deal. The reduction in sulphur emissions from ships means clouds aren’t as reflective and persistent, so the warming from greenhouse gases is not offset as much. So, while this change is very good for air quality, it’s very bad for almost everything else. #climate
A second opportunity to examine the cloud reduction effects from shipping fuel pollution measures has revealed that the 80% cut in sulphur emissions reduces cloud droplet formation by 67%.

Wer ein seit 30 Jahren offensichtlich dysfunktionales System nicht mit Fundamentalkritik in Frage stellt, legitimiert genau dieses System. Das sage ich seit vielen Jahren so. Interessant: neuerdings gilt diese Kritik wegen einer Hopium-Überdosis als destruktiv und zynisch. Ich sag trotzdem was ist 😬

Many people think about cold in Northern Europe if the Atlantic Ocean current system #AMOC fails. But that wouldn’t be the only problem for Europe by far.
This new study shows that severe drought is another one. 🌊
📢 New paper on the impacts of AMOC collapse on European hydroclimate. 🌊

We find an AMOC collapse would exacerbate drought conditions across Europe, linked to reduced precipitation. In combination with climate change droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe.

Hey Murdoch fake-news media! The study you report on here
1. Predicts nothing but is about the past.
2. Is not about Gulf Stream but #AMOC.
3. An AMOC collapse wouldn’t cause an Ice Age.
Incompetence or intent to confuse?
The study by Ren et al shows AMOC has weakened: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
