A striking new finding: 👉 Amazon dieback threshold without major deforestation: ~4°C warming 👉 With severe deforestation: ~1.5°C warming Deforestation weakens the rainforest's ability to generate rainfall, pushing the entire system toward a tipping point. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The argument that you hear time again when you ask people to stop actively destroying the vital life supporting systems of the planet, is that they would love to do that but they simply do not have any choice. Their agency is zero. This is of course 🐂💩. www.technosphere.earth/people-power...

"Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes" - Wes Streeting, in a private message. So it turns out that government ministers were not, after all, incapable of understanding what is happening there. Just incapable of saying it in public, and of acting on that knowledge. #MorallySupine

Asked in surveys how frequently they share their opinions about climate change with family, friends and acquaintances, over half say rarely or not at all. Why is this? Read Katy Wright and Sarah Irwin on their prize-winning research tinyurl.com/3ve6nz97

"The Birds Directive was born from the understanding that nature requires us to work together, across borders... across political cycles. That understanding is now under attack. So today, in honour of World Migratory Bird Day, I will stop and look up. In awe of these small, defenceless travellers."

Hungary, Poland, Romania, Belgium, Italy & Greece oppose EC proposal to phase out soy based #biofuels. Same ag ministers who are enthusiastic about pesticides, pollution, and nature destruction in the name of "food security" are also enthusiastic about burning food.

Yes! ... but SRM (Solar Radiation Modification/Management) could be said to be a form of "sun embargo" geoengineering, and it's getting increasing attention as we fail to curb emissions fast enough. It could end up being done illegally by one country, or one company... bsky.app/profile/rich...

"2025 became the costliest year on record for insured wildfire losses globally, with the fires accounting for 38% of all insured natural hazard losses. Extreme & destructive wildfires are increasingly emerging in temperate & high-latitude regions... where drought & heatwaves amplify fire weather."

The UK government is colluding with Israel to imprison its own citizens. Four young people could soon be sentenced as “terrorists” despite no such conviction. What is “terrorist connection” sentencing? It’s a scandal. Join us on June 12th to oppose this. wedonotcomply.org

Demilitarise Education has exposed £2.5bn+ in arms partnerships at UK universities in the last 8 years. Now, 82% of UK universities no longer invest in arms companies. Jinsella Kennaway explains how campaigner pressure can shift policies towards arms exclusion. 👇🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=387F...

This makes the timing of decarbonisation policies highly important, especially the emissions over the next decade or so. Locking in high rates of warming through continued, even plateaued emissions will have significant warming implications for the coming decades.
