A common criticism of global warming is: “It’s only a few degrees”. It may not sound like much but consider this… Compare Earth’s escalating warmth to your body’s fever. Now all of a sudden a few degrees is the difference between life and death! Follow along for more… 1/

TIL about the Explore Fall foliage tracker. It has maps with foliage color reports and peak timing forecasts. Cool stuff. 🍁 🍂 🍃

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

"Cucù, l'Artico non si scioglie più" (thread). Nelle ultime settimane è rimbalzata la notizia di un rallentamento della fusione della banchisa artica negli ultimi 15-20 anni. (in particolare a settembre). In pratica trend al ribasso (ribasso!) tra il 2005 e il 2024 non è stato significativo. 1/9

In dati degli incendi in Canada nel 2025 sono impressionanti, così come quelli in Europa (con le dovute proporzioni). Con quasi 8 milioni di ettari, è ad oggi seconda peggior stagione mai osservata dal 1983. Al primo posto il 2023 con 17.3 milioni. Il numero assoluto di incendi è un calo...1/3

I'm looking away from our world for a moment. I'm looking at the little dot in this image. It's a newborn planet, 5 times the mass of Jupiter, carving a path through the disk of dust around its star. This is the first time we've seen the process clearly. 🧪🔭 www.eso.org/public/image...

I’d forgotten about this! One for the ages

Electric car batteries degrade over time, but typically less than a lot of people think. Many are still over 80% capacity after 200,000 miles. Most manufacturers are now giving 8+ years warranty. My Substack from this week: hannahritchie.substack.com/p/electric-c...

Stiamo vivendo una fase storica che difficilmente avrei mai immaginato di attraversare, un tunnel di ignoranza, egoismo e irrazionalità molto pericoloso anche per chi si ostina a negare e ad agire. Per fortuna, però, i tunnel non durano per sempre…

Report sul clima del DOE. Leggendo il report sui gas serra del Climate Working Group del Dipartimento dell’Energia degli USA sono rimasto disorientato, perché sembra la tesina di uno svogliato e inesperto studente delle superiori, scritta due giorni prima di partire per le vacanze. 1/n

Il cambiamento climatico non appicca gli incendi, ma li rende più intensi e difficili da domare, non causa le ondate di calore, ma le rende più frequenti e durature. Il cambiamento climatico non provoca alluvioni, ma le intensifica, non abbatte le foreste, ma le indebolisce, non genera... 1/4

Vaccines are our greatest scientific achievement. This is criminal.

Some people are mis-using IPCC Table 12.12 to falsely claim that the latest IPCC assessment is that most types of extreme weather have not increased. Thread to explain why they're wrong.

You may not feel it, but the ground beneath you may be sinking. In fact, the surface of California’s Central Valley is nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago. Why is this happening? Because our planet is rapidly drying. THREAD/

As the planet warms, heatwaves don’t just increase — they increase in duration faster with each degree rise in temperature. Something to look forward to. 🥵
