🚨SHOCKING: A UK government agency is trying to spray clouds with MORE pollutants to reflect sunlight back into space in an attempt to tackle climate change. 🤡 Instead of kicking the can down the road, maybe the government could just STOP new oil and gas and invest in renewables??

“This new rule must mean that only polar fuels – fuels that result in low or zero emissions of black carbon – can be used in and near to the Arctic.” @sianprior.bsky.social bit.ly/mar25seaice

“It’s used by a lot of ships in many different parts of the world. Most of the heavy fuels also have very high sulfur levels, which when burned releases sulfur oxides, which is bad for health and the environment.” @sianprior.bsky.social @cleanarctic.bsky.asocial therevelator.org/black-sea-oi...

“IMO member states must set the stage for development of a concrete proposal for next year’s PPR 13 that will reduce black carbon emissions from ships operating in and near the Arctic”, added @sianprior.bsky.social bit.ly/eca2025info

Another day witnessing the collapse of everything ... At 21.043°C, the global sea-surface temperature is now ranked officially as "gobsmacking bananas." This temperature is now less than 0.13°C from being in "uncharted territory." Stay tuned for more bananas!

Arctic sea ice is currently at a record low, but still international shipping in the Arctic emits black carbon - a short-lived climate forcer with a disproportionate impact on snow and ice - completely unregulated! #Switchtodistillate #Installafilter #Protecttheice

Melting glaciers have caused almost 2cm of sea level rise this century alone, a decades-long study has revealed.

Not content with simply poisoning the air we breathe, contaminating the water we drink, and destabilizing the global content, fracking decided to also cause *checks notes* earthquakes 😬

and slowing down of ocean circulation patterns drives further warming, it is a travesty that the IMO and its member states allow the shipping industry to continue increasing emissions of black carbon”, added @sianprior.bsky.social bit.ly/ppr12_caa2

“While shipping emissions in and near the Arctic continue to rise, other sectors, such as land-based diesel-powered engines, oil and gas operations and agriculture, are actively reducing their emissions of black carbon.” @sianprior.bsky.social bit.ly/ppr12_caa2

Simulated reconstruction of December #Arctic sea ice thickness since 1901. Large interannual variability, but watch what happens in recent years... Information about this data: doi.org/10.1175/JCLI.... Data set only available through 2010.

100 years of November sea surface temperature anomalies. Again, check out the long-term warming and patterns of climate variability (e.g., El Niño/La Niña). Data from ERSSTv5 at www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/ext... 🌊

Fuel oil kills almost all wildlife at the bottom of the Black Sea in the area where the tanker sank - hundreds of thousands of crabs, jellyfish, rapa whelks and mollusks have died in the dangerous black sludge

Responding to Kerch Strait oil spill: All Arctic nations must urgently implement the full intent of IMO Arctic HFO ban, instead of hiding behind waivers & exemptions that currently allow ongoing use of heavy fuel oil as a result of loopholes. @sianprior.bsky.social

Black carbon emissions from fossil fuel exploitation and exploration in and near the Arctic are growing. Reducing these emissions improves air quality, enhances public health, and increases resilience to climate change. @WEF article: weforum.org/agenda/2024/09…
