Lomborg should have banished from respectable publications years ago. To see him now invited to spew his disinformation on the WaPo editorial pages (climate policies cost us trillions?!), at a time when the paper should be holding Trump accountable for his egregious climate lies, is stunning.

The flow of ice at Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica has sped up dramatically due to the disintegration of the ice shelf in front of it, and this could lead to faster sea level rise. The glacier’s velocity increased from 2.2km per year in 1974 to nearly 5km per year between 2017 & 2023.

Quote from James Hansen, 06 Feb 2026 We find that the principal drive for global warming acceleration began in about 2015, which implies that 2°C global warming is likely to be reached in the 2030s, not at midcentury.

On July 30, 2022, I wrote the article below, where I concluded: "What appears to be the case from these recent articles is that it’s not the sources that are driving this rise, it’s the degraded hydroxyl radical sink and loss of other natural sinks." climatecasino.net/2022/07/is-t...

Imagine living on a planet at its hottest in 125,000 years, where CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years & where you have to work your whole life in a system that’s decimating what little is left of nature just to enrich the most depraved psychopaths who’ve ever lived.

Breaking Methane News! It was the hydroxyl radicals after all! "During 2020–2021, however, hydroxyl radicals levels around the world dropped. This is because the ingredients needed to make them were reduced when human activity slowed down." www.esa.int/Applications...

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

The Methane spike in the early 2020’s has been explained in two new studies. A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural land are to blame. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...  www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #methane

Ever more systems switch faster their signal... Same with important climate modes. Here ENSO that transitions faster into its La Nina and El Nino states since the 2000s. This then lead to a diminishing impact on Arctic Sea ice in the post 2000 period.

I don't think biodiversity conservation has an evidence problem I think it has a most of the world's biggest industries depend on destroying nature problem This isn't an information deficit issue, we pretty much know what to do. The problem is that govs prioritise capital growth over survival

A major enabler, funder and amplifier of Bjorn Lomborg is Bill Gates, who simultaneously sought to position himself as a climate hero (fooling some people who really should have known better). Billionaires gonna billionaire.

Just to complete the Epstein -> Lomborg -> Gates -> Triangle... @rtakver.bsky.social broke this story late last year... www.desmog.com/2025/11/05/b...

From Dec. 1 last year to Jan. 15, temperatures were up to 15 degrees above normal in the Rockies, the Cascades and the Sierra Nevada. Colorado is having its warmest winter since 1895. 😳

NYT: These Four States Are in Denial Over a Looming Water Crisis Reality: These six continents are in denial over a looming biosphere collapse.

Thank you for this @adrianramsay.bsky.social It's quite bizarre that the Government wouldn't hold a debate after an intelligence report warned last month that the UK probably wouldn't be able to feed itself if nature collapse continues. This isn't a future problem. It's looming now.

Nice to see some higher-profile coverage of what entomologists have been saying for years: if you're keeping honeybees, esp without sufficient plantings, you're outcompeting native bees, who are the pollinators that really need saving. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Your 'moment of doom' for Feb. 6, 2026 ~ Dead or dying. "However, toxicity increased considerably in much of Africa, India, the US, Brazil and Russia. Chile is the only country on track to meet the UN target of reducing pesticide risk by 50% by 2030..." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

With immense sadness, I share the news of Tristan Sykes’ passing - unexpected and sudden. Tristan was my best friend, lover, and activist-in-arms for many years. His intelligence, wit, and strategic nouse were key to the success of Just Collapse. - Kate Booth, Just Collapse co-founder

The increase is essentially linear; has been for nearly 70 years. There's zero evidence yet of any reduction in the growth rate. (The obvious big dip in the middle of the graph is due to the huge Mt Pinatubo stratospheric volcanic eruption in the Philippines in June 1991.)

Breaking News! Code La Nina!!! The method for computing the ENSO cycle (La Nina/El Nino) changed as of Feb. 2, 2026. NOAA is now using RONI, the Relative Oceanic Nino Index. Even with all the recent record heat, since 2020 it's been mostly La Nina! www.weather.gov/media/notifi...

Our Planet has two Lungs, one is Blue the other is Green

Perhaps it was coincidental timing, but nothing underscores the collapse of the Washington Post like firing most of the Pulitzer prize winning #climate reporters the very same day as their opinion pages publishes a BS screed by climate misinformer Bjorn Lomborg.

I spoke to my local garden center a few times. They have agreed to add an Irish native plant section :-) Speak up, ask them, let’s do it!!!

The Climate Casino composed a little limerick: There once was a planet in strife, Where the climate disrupted all life. With record highs and record lows, Droughts, heat, ice and snows, Survival became a roll of the dice.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! Current global sea surface temperatures now rank 3rd hottest on record, as of Feb. 4, 2026, or about 4.36 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean (first 30 years of data). The Climate 8-ball says, "F&%kery ahead!"

Fundamentally flawed economic models mean #climatecrisis could crash global economy, experts warn - Shocks from extreme weather disasters and tipping points are entirely missed by the current models used by governments and financial institutions Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them. They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear. While helping to consign us all to catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“The climate scientists we surveyed said current economic models systematically underestimate climate damages because they can’t capture the cascading failures, threshold effects, and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world.” www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

Just out today: The report “A Nordic Perspective on AMOC Tipping” reviews the current state of science on the risk of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) shutdown. 🌊 Conclusion: it's "a serious risk which requires a dedicated risk management framework". pub.norden.org/temanord2026...

“Some are saying we’ll have a 10% GDP loss at between 3C and 4C degrees [of global heating], but the physical climate scientists are saying the economy and society will cease to function as we know" Damn right we are saying this We are in deep, deep, sh*t www.theguardian.com/environment/...

For my take on where we are headed, based upon looking back at a changing climate across the 4.6 billion-year geological record, you might like to take a look at my forthcoming book Out May 21st

Your 'moment of doom' for Feb. 5, 2026 ~ Faster than expected is expected. "I think the big takeaway here is that we found significantly more warming on land in this region than you would expect from theory." www.earth.com/news/parts-o...

"Climate change makes it even more important that rammed earth is framed as a mainstream material… It offers thermal mass, temperature regulation & moisture control... It produces incredibly beautiful spaces to live in, to work in, and to be in.” (But beware water & low temperatures...) And straw!👍

This is a great comparison because COVID is still killing people at extremely high rates. We simply have normalized those deaths (and the even larger disability numbers). Sort of like what we're doing and will do with climate change deaths.

January 2026 #Arctic sea ice extent was statistically tied (with last year) for the 2nd lowest on record for the month... This was 1,310,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average. January ice extent is decreasing at about 2.85% per decade. Data: @nsidc.bsky.social (nsidc.org/data/seaice_...)

'El Niño update: Westerly wind bursts during January were very unusual and record-breaking in some areas. Warm water is now moving across the subsurface Pacific & will probably start to surface in February and March. By mid-2026, ocean-atmosphere El Niño coupling is possible.' Ben Noll Twitter

This is so embarrassing. Negotiating for literally nothing. If ID and masks are optional, so is accountability, @schumer.senate.gov

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...
