When you vote, you’ll get to choose, as we leave the Holocene, speeding blindfolded, deep into the Anthropocene, which of these former geological epochs you’d most enjoy inflicting upon your children. Vote wisely. #FossilFuelPollution #AnthropogenicGlobalWarming

POV: Big Oil explains the weather they caused.

oh boy.

A sobering take on what a slew of new reports say about how the world will look under 2-3°C+ of warming. W/ @laurapaddison.bsky.social & insights from @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, @kimcobb.bsky.social, @weatherwest.bsky.social & others. www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/c... (For CNN subscribers.)

The annual Arctic Report Card is now out for 2025. It discusses recent changes in the #Arctic, extreme events, and broader human/environmental impacts. This is the 20th anniversary edition. 20 years of rapid change. + Report arctic.noaa.gov/report-card/... + Summary arctic.noaa.gov/report-card/...

"If you don’t worry about it now, it’s too late later on." "We are passing on extremely grave problems for our children when the time to solve the problems… is now." "The overall picture is, I think, quite clear and quite widely understood and accepted." - Carl Sagan to congress, December 10, 1985

What did Sagan propose? - End fossil fuel subsidies. We didn't. Americans still pay $10-50B/yr to fossil fuels and hundreds of billions indirectly. - Build solar. We did… starting 25 years later. 40 years ago we knew the science knew what to do. Big Oil's lies cost us decades of damage and time.

The EPA website showing this insightful 800,000 year methane concentration graph has been taken offline... Reality doesn't change by pretending it isn't real.

I'm dumbfounded every time I see this methane graph We don't know what the last time was that methane concentrations were this high (1943 ppb @noaa.gov). Maybe 55 million years ago during the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM)?

This is such a great visualization of the carbon cycle and of how humanity has completely altered it within a geological instant, by @rarohde.bsky.social:

“…tropical cyclones such as Senyar, …are rare so close to the Equator. It's not something that we see very often and it means the impacts are magnified because local communities have got no experience in this,”

Every increment of a degree of future warming prevented is a safer world for my children. Every source of emissions, no matter how small, is a global threat that must be addressed urgently. www.newscientist.com/article/2506...
