As we head into a new year, I wanted to share this conversation I had with @ittefaq.bsky.social on the big picture surrounding climate change: Where we are now; how much warming we're on track to see; & why it's so important to be honest about where we're headed.

Looking back to @wwattribution.bsky.social studies in 2025 showed again, in stark terms, how unfairly the consequences of human-induced climate change are distributed. The world does not have to be like this, we have a lot of agency to make it better. www.worldweatherattribution.org/unequal-evid...
