#COP30 is just gonna work out great: "Any final deal will mean somehow finding a consensus that can be tolerated by both the world’s biggest fossil fuel producers and the small island states on the frontlines of sea level rise." #climate www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Today, at 1.5 and 430 parts. Per million 302, climate change is already dangerous. That is, 1.5 is a political goal, not a moral goal. @djspratt.bsky.social

Will Australia's new National Climate Risk Assessment – more omission than commission? johnmenadue.com/post/2025/08... Will it describe full spectrum of climate risks Australians will face, or be marred by a poor approach to risk analysis, bureaucratic incompetence and a limited vision?

#Climate warming has reached 1.5°C. What does that mean for climate activists? These are the hard questions policymakers and advocates are avoiding: www.climatecodered.org/2025/07/the-... And what would it really take to restore a safe climate?

"How was 2°C ever considered a reasonable goal? Answering that question — it wasn’t science-based, but first proposed by an economist — may provide insight into why 1.5°C isn’t either." Safety = < 350 ppm and < 1°C. www.climatecodered.org/2025/07/the-..., by @djspratt.bsky.social.

#Spratt.4.7 @djspratt.bsky.social We have just lost 15 years. 1.5°C is here 15 years faster than policy makers thought it would be. The IPCC risk analysis, the mitigation, the emergency management you know policy is based on 1.5°C in 2040. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7zh...

#Spratt.4.10 @djspratt.bsky.social From a risk management the worst case is relevant (plane crash..) Policy makers, science, IPCC, doesn't look at the worst case scenarios. Policy IPCC look at the middle range only. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7zh...

WE WERE "ALL HANDS ON DECK" OVER 10 YEARS AGO @djspratt.bsky.social. WE'RE SO FUCKED @davemilbo.bsky.social. www.motherjones.com/politics/201... SO, SO, FUCKED @allouryesterdays.bsky.social *sighs* #climatecrisis #climate #SundayShot

How bad can #climate damage get? Worse than you imagine. There is reason to worry that the physical reality of accelerating climate disruption will mug Australia's risk assessment and leave us poorly prepared. www.climatecodered.org/2025/06/how-...

"This is a field in which knowledge is relatively new and growing quickly ... uncertainty can become an excuse for political delay; and the cost of not understanding the systemic risks may be the viability of major Earth systems and human societies." @djspratt.bsky.social #ClimateCrisis

Deserves to be widely read - not least by those of us engaging with IPCC AR7, just starting with the Special Report in Climate Change and Cities

My article on #climate research and scientific reticence in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is available for free until the close of business on April 23, out from behind the Bulletin paywall, and can be accessed at: thebulletin.org/premium/2025...

But @djspratt.bsky.social's critique gets at how scientists themselves might be underestimating risks. There are multiple reasons for this, he explains: methodological, political, and social.

7 yrs ago the IPCC estimated the world would pass 1.5C between 2030-2052 The problem? We're already there. Another fantastic article from the tipping points issue out from behind the paywall: @djspratt.bsky.social on the underestimation of climate threats at the intersection of science & policy

Federal Labor Government playing politics with 'frankly terrifying' national climate Security Risks argues @djspratt.bsky.social We need the Office of National Intelligence report declassified, made public. #ClimateSecurity #Australia #ClimateCrisis johnmenadue.com/government-r...

Australian government refuses to articulate "frankly terrifying" #climate security risks - johnmenadue.com/government-r.... Government opens itself to charge of playing politics with security issues by selectively briefing an intelligence report it has classified.

Next, @djspratt.bsky.social on the "scientific reticence" that could result in understudying and underestimating the impacts of climate tipping points thebulletin.org/premium/2025...

An oldie from the quote vault but a goodie. David Spratt always writes the truth before others say it. @djspratt.bsky.social Hansen said 1C was the safe temperature back in the time machine. But even 1C is dangerous - and here we are going past 1.5 heading to much worse #ClimateEmergency

As we head into #AusVotes2025, worth reading @djspratt.bsky.social on the Labor Government failure to articulate the #climateCrisis threat: Climate and security risks? Shhh, says the Albanese Government. johnmenadue.com/climate-and-...

#Climate and security risks? Shhh, says the Albanese Government. Story out today at: johnmenadue.com/climate-and-...

David is one of the best journalists on #ClimateChange that you'll find out there. If you don't read his writings you are missing out on the best! A great follow

"We can't map the physical system because there is nonlinearity, we can't map the human consequences, we can't map the economic cost, as soon as you have those risks markets break down because they cannot price the risk" - @djspratt.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/7zrq...

Warning: we are heading for 3°C of warming, and societal collapse 🫣 "In a 3°C hotter world, new extremes will occur — of rainfall and heat, flooding and drought — beyond past human experience. (...) There is no evidence that, at this level of warming, current human societies can be supported (...)"

🚨There is so much #Climate news that it is often hard to zoom-out & see the bigger picture. But every now & then you read a report that brings it all together & stops you in your tracks! 'Collision Course' by @djspratt.bsky.social is one such report. Here are its 10 key take aways: 🧵1/n

Thank you @fionaharvey: "Cop29 gave us a Putin-friendly deal – and a glimpse of the dark future of #climate talks: The Baku Cop29 talks were marked by division and self-interest, with rancorous meddling right until the end." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I was interviewed by @nickbreeze.genn.cc during COP29, We discussed 'our' failure on Paris 1.5°C & how by the early 2030s we'll have locked in similar failure on 2°C. Meanwhile many 'experts' fear rocking the political boat, preferring to sell snake oil & tech hopium. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yULd...

Earth is headed towards climate catastrophe. As @djspratt.bsky.social points out, “transformative political leadership is now the key element in preventing societal collapse”. Meanwhile, our politicians remain wedded to neoliberalism and opinion polls. #auspol - johnmenadue.com/climate-poli...

#Climate policy is on a collision course with physical reality. My article today on 3 degrees of warming and humanity’s future. johnmenadue.com/climate-poli...

Excellent Kate Dooley piece on why it's bad news that #COP29 approved such dangerously weak rules for carbon offsetting between country climate targets: theconversation.com/after-nearly...

2°C degrees is not a point of system stability @Jrockstrom future warming of around 2.7°C. #Schellnhuber.2°C the best case scenario. 2C means 4C on land and 6C regionally. @djspratt.bsky.social @coderedearth.bsky.social twitter.com/CodeRedEarth... twitter.com/bratananium/...
