Great podcast explaining to Americans how “balcony solar” took off in Europe, with millions in Germany 🇩🇪 alone now harvesting solar power with these panels that you just take home and plug in, and they pay back their price within a few years.

#Bluetongue Virus's arrival in Ireland is a #climate change story as well as an animal welfare concern. Endemic in sub-tropics, but unheard of in Europe until the late '90s. Changing humidity and temperature allowed the infected midges to survive in ever more northerly areas. Graphic: WOAH

In 2024, every glaciated region on Earth reported losses due to melt for the 3rd year in a row, highlighting the alarming trend of accelerating annual loss. Help us amplify the #Glaciers2025 messages and call for urgent climate action. https://www.un-glaciers.org/en

Iceland is right to consider this an existential threat. www.dagens.com/news/iceland...

It should be obvious by now that we cannot make the future of human civilisation dependent on whether the fossil fuel vendors vote for ending fossil fuel use. Rather, it is up to those who buy fossil fuels to end their lethal addiction fast, before it is too late.

When a government speaks responsibly about climate risks. Iceland's climate minister Jóhannsson: "We believe that confronting climate tipping points and the risks they pose openly is not a sign of 'pessimism' or 'alarmism' but a sign of realism and responsibility." youtu.be/B-0eQnEEsYA?...

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. 🌊

🏔️ Glaciers lost 450 gigatons of water in 2024. This is enough to form a block of ice 7 km tall, 7 km wide, and 7 km deep or to fill 180 million Olympic swimming pools. Help us amplify #Glaciers2025: we need urgent climate action now. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4ivRNPc

BREAKING: EU's top court has ruled that Ireland has widespread non-compliance with EU's main water law e.g. a lack of regulation on physical damage to our waters, & poor monitoring & control of water abstractions. We face daily fines & further decline if not fixed. swanireland.ie/2025/11/land...

What can we expect from the #COP30 climate talks this year? Hopefully not another weak climate deal. COP30 needs clarity, funding and courage. No excuses. No delays. World leaders must deliver on #ClimateAction. NOW! 🎥 @baseickhout.bsky.social is in #Belém, #Brazil to follow the negotiations.

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...

Is the Atlantic Ocean circulation close to tipping? Hear the latest science as I presented it last month at the ATLAS25 event in Helsinki. Let me know if anything is unclear, or if you see good reasons why your government shouldn't immediately act on this. 🌊 youtu.be/ULJXqOZuY-8

We have reached 1.4 degrees celsius #globalheating according to NASA data (smooth black trend line). Breaching 1.5 is now inevitable. From now on the fight is to keep overshoot as small and short as possible.

Pound for pound, this heat dome is every bit as impressive (or more) as the cold snap. Even more records. But since the temps are comfortable, it won’t make much news.

Climate change is accelerating, with the past 10 years the hottest on record. #C3S Director @carlobuontempo.bsky.social#C3Scalls attention to this rapid evolution, emphasising the importance of scientific data and knowledge to inform action. ⬇️ #CopernicusClimate #COP30

In Ironic news: Iceland is freaking out about… checks notes… Ice! 🧊 News at 11… It’s funny. But there’s truth here. The Atlantic circulation is in danger of collapse in the next couple of decades due to global warming, as per many new studies… 1/

Guterres is right. Even a temporary overshoot could unleash far greater destruction and costs for every nation. It could push ecosystems past catastrophic and irreversible tipping points. Fossil fuel companies are deceiving the public and obstructing progress. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New national climate plans have barely moved the needle on limiting global warming. Yet there is hope. According to UNEP's latest #EmissionsGap Report, accelerated adoption of renewable energy and falling costs mean we have the tools to cut emissions now: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

In summary: it's great! Dublin City Council has approved funding for the redevelopment of Dalymount Park. Planning permission was approved last year. A contractor will be appointed next year and construction will begin at the end of the League of Ireland season in late 2026.

New study in Nature by Lin et al shows how the sea-level rise from the melting Ice Age ice (a total of 120 meters rise) ended thousands of years ago. Until our fossil fuel use started a new phase of rising seas. Graph shows the global mean rate of sea level rise. 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As warming increases, we are already accelerating past some well-known #climate tipping points - points of no return - while others are approaching fast. These tipping points mark critical forks in the road. Until now most changes have been manageable, but… 1/

Episodes of Atlantic Extreme Rapid Intensification - A 6X increase over the same since 1980 via @BhatiaKieran Things are certainly changing as the waters warm. Greater ratio of strongest storms, that rapidly intensify, BUT importantly not necessarily a higher number of tropical systems overall.

AXA and Ipsos have published the 12th edition of the Future Risks Report, a report based on a global survey of 23,000 citizens and 3,595 risk experts. What do both experts and citizens rank as greates risk? *** Climate change *** So do I, after over 35 years experience in climate science.

2X increase in the most extreme hurrucanes! Looking at every Cat 4 & 5 in the Atlantic since 1980 (reliable records/ data gathering) I broke the record into 2 equal parts. 1980-2002 and 2003-2025 The most recent period has more than double the number of most intense hurricanes in the Atlantic!… 1/

Hurricane #Melissa's pressure has dropped to 892 mb tied with the Florida Keys Hurricane of 1935 for the 3rd lowest pressure for an Atlantic hurricane on record Only Wilma (2005) - 882 mb and Gilbert (1988) - 888 mb have been lower Lower pressure = stronger hurricane
