IPCC models might deem it highly unlikely, but Global warming reaching +2.0°C next decade is much more likely when considering NASA CERES satellite observations based climate forcings and feedbacks. We'd better assume observations are more indicative of reality than models alone:

There is no hope for a substantial portion of wannabe adults in the USA who because of wishful thinking and wilful ignorance, blindly follow the advice of pathological liar and conman-extraordinaire Donald Jenius Trump. Foolishness has consequences.

"This would increase total global methane emissions by about 10% compared to the current level, which would contribute to faster climate change than what is currently expected in the IPCC's worst-case scenario." phys.org/news/2025-11...

Important new @annualreviews.bsky.social review on #AMOC collapse. 🌊⚠️ 🔗 www.annualreviews.org/content/jour... Here are 8 key takeaways from Dijkstra & van Westen (2026) on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its risks. 👇🧵

50 years after ‘The Limits to Growth’, the questions are more urgent than ever. ‘Limits and Beyond’ revisits what we learned, what we ignored and what it will take to live within #planetarylimits. A must-read for anyone thinking about systems, economies & the future. 🔗 vist.ly/4qk3r

What is the timeline for adoption ?

This looks Brutal!

So much for the predictions of the discredited William Nordhaus.

It speaks volumes for Keith Starmer's depth of knowledge & political judgement that he appointed Lord Mendacity. Perhaps old croney Phoney Bliar will find a role for Mandy in Gaza, joining the feeding frenzy of global oligarchs carving up Palestinian coastal real estate

Nuclear weaponry & bad actors is naturally raising more concerns lately due to several unstable global leaders. However, many countries (& perhaps with the help of AI, some terrorist organisations) still likely have the capacity to surreptiously deploy banned biological & chemical WMD

There is a global polycrisis, and with so many interlinking factors destabilising global security, it is inadequate to consider individual crises in isolation.

We were all happy keeping our little chickens in the yard, but now the billionaire AI mob has engineered a way for us to have to keep their white elephants in our lounge: whether we like it or not, & whether or not we can tolerate or afford the consequences.

Why do #cold in #florida?? We can trace the origin of the airmass directly north to the North Pole! No kidding. And prior to that Siberia. The coldest places on Earth sending cold from the #frozen #Tundra #freeze

Most of China's homicides are attributable to its murderous ruling regime, but that doesn't stop Britain's left wing leader going to Beijing to kow tow to its mob boss. However Sir Lefty is consistent having also kow tow-ed to the other unscrupulous mob boss across the pond.

Well, I guess that settles it! #snow #tampa #florida #cold

youtu.be/t5MLb1lqEu0?... So, in CCP-speak "under investigation" means "unalive" ? @xinhuanews.bsky.social

www.ad-hoc-news.de/boerse/news/... Thanks Trump for destabilising the global financial/commodity markets with your inane, uninformed, tariff wars, & bumping US debt up to $30trillion. Does the US Fed have a rabbit it can pull out of the hat or is it goodbye US$, hello BRICS trading "units" ?

Reality check for the “it’s just weather freaks”. Aside from disconcerting assessments & unpleasant predictions, the climate data indicates that “The average time between major climatic disasters like floods, droughts and hurricanes has decreased from 80 days in the 1980s to just 12 days now”

All the evidence suggests that a Trump pardon is a mere financial transaction, or the Get Out of Jail card for a like-minded fellow recidivist. Meanwhile the GOP continues to cultivate for the gullible the asinine illusion that it is the party of law and order.

This is not gonna stop until an Administration driven by myth-based dogma is replaced by another with a rational scientific & fact-based decision-making process. Meanwhile we should expect a lot more damage to the functioning processes of normality that are disdained by the party of wilful ignorance

Can't help thinking that carbon capture at source ought to have a future but not in its present form, because today's effectively prototype technology is inadequate, incomplete and not yet fit for purpose. Maybe technology will eventually innovate a real cyclical process that "reuses" CO2 emissions

Sustained climate disruption has extreme consequences .. ..

If this forecast is fulfilled, then the coming week is gonna test the electrical grid & transport/other infrastructure of the southern US, which is generally unprepared for such low temperatures sustained for perhaps a 1 week stretch !

youtu.be/R0uwqlGlq4A?... Watch it. Has America dumped its conscience? If you can't see reality, you can't deal with reality.

It's apparently OK when local councils does such things - and they do, regularly.

For sure, the lunatics are running the asylum. Aided & abetted by a US mainstream media, monopolised & led by the mendacious ghoul Rupert Murdoch, who has consigned reporting with honesty & truth into the existential category. When the truth dies myth becomes reality (Westworld)

The UK Government has just released a report that, if taken seriously, should transform how we think about climate, nature and security 🚨 Its main conclusion is stark: global ecosystem degradation and collapse is a national emergency 🚨 ➡️ www.naturebasedsolutionsinitiative.org/news/nationa...

If the world is our bathtub, then Trump is the turd floating in it.

Not sure that there are too many people who can have a rational discourse with or about the deranged & infantile US president

Prof Bill Rees reminds us once again of the inescapable reality that ecological overshoot is terminal for our species, and on all present trends it appears to be inevitable. Sadly the self-serving global ruling regimes comprise the greedy, despots & wilfully ignorant who continue to pay no heed.

Trump's cognitive deficiencies, as a poster child for Dunning-Kruger Syndrome, makes it extremely problematic for any world leader to negotiate with his infantile reasoning capabilities, as his irrationality goes rogue on a global scale. Permanent removal is needed, fast.

Has anyone reminded this cretin that NATO's responsibilities include maintaining the security of Greenland? It seems no coincidence that Putin is the greatest beneficiary of instability within the NATO alliance - courtesy of the Manchurian Candidate, Agent Orange. @houserepublicans.bsky.social

International leaders are in a bind because if they were to talk straight and tell it like it is - Emperor Trump is a mentally unbalanced megalomaniac - then their countries & people would suffer the economic wrath of this vindictive and uncouth cretin.

Farcical. Blair's 8-year term as Middle East envoy produced absolutely nothing of benefit to those in the region. Expect more of the same. Kushner lined his pockets with riyals in Trump's first Administration. Expect more of the same.

We're in the formative stages of an insoluble existential polycrisis. Yet the fools still peddle hopium, & compare our predicament to historic "problems" such as, maybe, the mere repairable damage caused by internecine tribalism & 2 world wars. In human history nothing on this scale is comparable

A disgraceful & debilitating consequence of privatization under Thatcherism.

Yes, it's impossible trying to equate ocean heat uptake to heat energy from X-number of Hiroshima bombs. Better if someone compared it to something we might visualize, like the heat energy generated by X-number of coal-fired power stations covering X-percentage of (X-number of) Earth's land area?

Trump is apparently the genius in the Party

one defense of CBA has always been that it forces admins to be explicit about their values.... "Over the past four decades, Republican and Democratic administrations have used different estimates of the monetary value of a human life... But until now, no administration has counted it as zero."
