"In regions dominated by small and rapidly responding glaciers, such as [...] the European Alps, over 50% of the glaciers are projected to disappear within the next two decades." New @natclimate.nature.com study by @landervt.bsky.social @harryzeko.bsky.social @hydr-vub.bsky.social

The world’s largest fossil fuel and cement companies should shoulder a major share of the investment needed to develop carbon removal technologies, according to a new peer-reviewed study in @climate-policy.bsky.social. #carbonmajors #CDR #climatepolicy

Really important paper led by my @iiasa.ac.at colleague Alex Nauels www.nature.com/articles/s41... “The difference between decisive climate action today and continued high emissions is not just measured in degrees of warming but also in meters of sea-level rise” 👏👏👏

NEW – Rapid emissions cuts would avoid 64cm of ‘locked in’ sea level rise by 2300 | @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org w/ comment from Dr Catia Domingues Read here: buff.ly/Ny3nIaT

New research shows that near-term mitigation could spare future generations around 0.6 meters of sea-level rise caused by emissions between 2020 and 2090, making today’s decisions critical not only for limiting warming but also for coastal impacts. 🔗 iiasa.ac.at/news/oct-202...

OUT NOW: Global Tipping Points Report 2025 global-tipping-points.org Our chapter on the "Implications of overshooting 1.5°C for Earth system tipping points" is based on an associated paper: doi.org/10.31223/X52... Minimizing climate overshoot is essential to prevent climate tipping points.

Super comprehensive report on our @iiasa.ac.at overshoot conference by @carbonbrief.org. Great summary and overview on some of the central discussion points. Check it out👇👇👇 www.carbonbrief.org/overshoot-ex...

Starting today: 🌍 First international conference on #ClimateOvershoot at #IIASAVienna! 📅 30 Sep–2 Oct 📍Laxenburg, Austria 🇦🇹 As we edge closer to the 1.5 °C limit, understanding the implications for mitigation, adaptation limits and climate justice has never been more urgent. @iiasa.ac.at

New starter pack with @ipcc.bsky.social #AR7 scientists (bureau, authors, REs)! Full list: apps.ipcc.ch/report/autho... For SR cities scientists see separate starter pack! @dianaurge.bsky.social @sherilee.bsky.social @siir-kilkis.bsky.social @janfuglestvedt.bsky.social go.bsky.app/2FuXb3Y

Our paper is out today in @nature.com where we assess a Prudent Planetary Limit for Geologic Carbon Storage: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🔥 Just published! 🔥 Our new manuscript on global #wildfires look beyond burned areas and ask: What drives the #economic damages of wildfires — now & in the future? We find that socioeconomic vulnerability, not just #climate, is key. 📄 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... (Highlights below ⬇️)

*** Faktencheck*** In der Generaldebatte im Bundestag sprach Bundeskanzler Friedrich #Merz auch zum Klimaschutz. Er sagte: "Selbst wenn wir alle morgen klimaneutral wären, würde keine einzige Naturkatastrophe weniger geschehen". Ein Faktencheck. 1/

New study out, in which we detect a causal link in reanalysis+observational data from an AMOC SST index to the Southern Amazon rainforest: dry season precipitation increases when the AMOC weakens. doi.org/10.1088/1748...

Call for abstracts – now open! As the world edges closer to surpassing the 1.5°C global warming threshold, it's time to confront the risks of climate overshoot. Join leading scientists at the first-ever Overshoot Conference, hosted by IIASA. iiasa.ac.at/events/sep-2... @carlschleussner.bsky.social

Out today in Nature, our paper on the drivers of the record 2023 summer heating of the North Atlantic. Temperatures warmed to record levels in just a few months. The impacts on climate & ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found.👇👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

German court has established that energy companies can be held liable for climate change damages. Given those damages are in the 10s of trillions of USD, this is potentially a massive deal. Huge liabilities for historic polluters as more cases get established.

🏔️🌍🌎🌏 New study warns: Even if we only temporarily exceed 1.5 °C, mountain glaciers face irreversible losses lasting centuries. Such an overshoot reduces glacier runoff, specifically in regions where some glaciers regrow. Further interested? Check out our new publication: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Incredible new study of annual mass change for EACH world's glacier from 1976 to 2024! 🧊😲💪 Since 1976, glaciers have lost 9179 Gt of water = 25.3 mm MSL rise! 🌊 41 % (10 mm) occurred in the last decade 6 % (1.5 mm) occurred in the single record year 2023! 🔥 essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...

New study on linking wealth-based emissions to climate impacts: We find that 2/3 of global warming is attributable to the wealthiest 10% and so are climate extremes. Article: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @iiasa.ac.at, @usyseth.bsky.social 1/

Very excited to announce that the call for abstracts for our @iiasa.ac.at overshoot conference is out. Join us to explore the eightfold path to manage climate risks of an overshoot world: overshootconference.org Abstract deadline: June 27.

CCS für Gaskraftwerke: ein Irrweg. Kernfusion für #Klimaschutz: ein Ablenkungsmanöver. Technologieoffenheit: eine Floskel, um Altes unter neuem Label zu verkaufen. @carlschleussner.bsky.social spart im Interview @faznet.bsky.social nicht an Kritik am Koalitionsvertrag. www.faz.net/aktuell/wiss...

Mal kurz von den Livetickern aufgeblickt: das @iiasa.ac.at hat eine neue Studie rausgehauen, die sich mit #GenderEquality & #Klimaresilienz beschäftigt. Demnach könne eine Gleichstellung der Geschlechter die Fähigkeit einer Gesellschaft, mit dem #Klimawandel umzugehen, verbessern. bit.ly/3CMg1Gh 👈

Great coverage of our recent study on 2024 warming and the 1.5°C limit by @tinymaddie.bsky.social here: www.newscientist.com/article/2467... @bevacquae.bsky.social

Guess what - our Science Moms climate ad made this top ten best (upcoming) Super Bowl ads list! The only nonprofit ad on the list! Warning: do not watch without a tissue www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/a...

In Nature Climate Change, we show that a year above 1.5 °C signals that Earth is most probably within the 20-year period that will reach the Paris Agreement limit. @natclimchange.bsky.social

Have you ever wondered if the global leadership on climate would be less depressing if we had more Luisas and fewer Elons? With gender equality backsliding everywhere, it’s super important to stress its role in addressing the climate crisis. A 🧵 on our new paper on gender equality & scenarios:

💬 @hausfath.bsky.social: “The 1.5-degree target is dead.” 💬 @tessamoeller.bsky.social: “The 1.5-degree target will never die.” 2024 is the first year above 1.5°C - a symbolic milestone dividing experts on how to address climate action and justice. Read the article (in German) 👇

Der ganze Text von @jonaswaack.bsky.social , mit Stimmen von @hausfath.bsky.social, @tessamoeller.bsky.social und @nadinemengis.bsky.social und Visualisierungen von mir: taz.de/Overshoot-De...

2024 ist das erste Jahr, das die 1,5-Grad-Grenze geknackt hat. Das 1,5-Grad-Ziel wurde damit nicht verfehlt, aber symbolisch ist es doch. Klimaforscher*innen sind darin gespalten, wie wir über den Kampf gegen die Erderhitzung sprechen sollten: taz.de/Overshoot-De...

People need to plan for climate risks. The research is there, but the usability for stakeholders can be limited. We introduce the reversal of the impact chain approach for actionable climate information that allows linking local risk levels directly to GHG emission. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Understanding the consequences of potential overshoot above the 1.5°C warming level has been the focus of the PROVIDE project and the work by a great group of interdisciplinary authors has just been published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... Here’s what we found: 1/

🧪 @tessamoeller.bsky.social 's paper is out now! We show tipping point risks can be reduced by limiting how long we stay above 1.5C of warming. This is why reducing emissions this decade is crucial for the state of the planet! Https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-49863-0

I really love this new @climateanalytics.bsky.social report because it just lays out, simply, something IMPORTANT The cash you get from digging up and selling fossil fuels? It's blood money Here in Norway: we are absolutely rolling in it. climateanalytics.org/publications...

NEW: in our latest report we look at global climate damages from emissions associated with the top 25 oil and gas ‘carbon majors’ and compare them to their financial gains. It's a stark picture. 🧵 climateanalytics.org/publications...
