This should be really big news.

BREAKING📢 Crack team of climate scientists show "it is no longer defensible for companies proposing new or extended fossil fuel projects to claim the climate harms will be negligible. Our research shows the harms are, in fact, tangible and quantifiable – and no project is too small to matter"

Scary?

The world faces a “new reality” as we have reached the first of many Earth system tipping points that will cause catastrophic harm unless humanity takes urgent action, according to a landmark report released today. 1/4

“Only with a combination of decisive policy & civil society action can the world tip its trajectory from facing existential Earth system tipping point risks to seizing positive tipping point opportunities.” - Prof. Tim Lenton, @gsiexeter.bsky.social #ClimateEmergency

Not good news:

Planet-heating methane is escaping from cracks in the #Antarctic seabed as the region warms, with new seeps being discovered at an "astonishing rate", scientists have found, raising fears that future global warming predictions may have been underestimated. edition.cnn.com/2025/10/10/c...

Researchers plan to install the first Japanese radio telescope in #Antarctica, near Dome Fuji Station at an altitude of 3,800 meters, to study how stars are formed, enhancing the frozen continent's reputation as the best location on Earth to observe cosmic phenomena. www.asahi.com/sp/ajw/artic...

Simulations covering 800,000 years show that a slight deep-ocean warming can trigger West #Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse, raising sea level by about 4 metres. Today’s temperatures are already at this threshold. Future irreversible ice sheet loss may occur with little/no further climate warming.

"At 3 degrees Celsius, this desert climate jumps into parts of Spain. In 2050, Brandenburg could be in a climate zone that we had in Spain in the 1970s. And Saarland could have the current climate of southern France" #ClimateEmergency

Scary?

China, the world’s largest carbon polluter, announced at the UN on Wednesday that it intended to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 7% by 2035. It was the first time Beijing has made such a strong commitment to halt global warming. Follow live updates from the UN General Assembly.

„Every further bit of warming we can avoid, even if it’s above 1.5 degrees, will help avoid or a least limit escalating damages (…) “And the less we allow global warming to climb further, the greater the options we have to bring global warming back down to 1.5 degrees again.”

Oh no:-(

Climate change is not a con-job. If you want to know more about the evidence for and causes of #ClimateChange, head to our website: royalsociety.org/news-resourc...

“If you want people to change their lifestyle habits, then you need to emphasize convenience and reduce barrier.“

Mr Stiell has a tough job:

Terrible: @nytimes writes admiring story about hi-tech oil drilling off #Norway without even mentioning climate change and how Oslo is failing to cut emissions as promised under the Paris Agreement www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/b...

„If all of the planned new extraction takes place, the world will produce more than double the quantity of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with holding global temperature rises to 1.5C above preindustrial levels.“ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Abrupt and alarming changes in the icy Antarctic region call for urgent measures. We have the means to cut emissions and limit further warming. Geoengineering projects only raise false hopes and divert resources.

"Bildlich gesehen entspreche der gesamte Eisverlust dem Volumen eines Eiswürfels von 7 Kilometern Kantenlänge. Das erhöhe den Meeresspiegel um etwa 1,2 Millimeter. Viele Gebiete mit kleineren Gletschern hätten bereits den höchsten Schmelzpunkt erreicht " www.aol.de/d%C3%BCrren-...

Times reports "soaring" number of Britons think climate change is exaggerated Well, not really - they're still in a heavy minority Not good news but tbh given relentless tide of shite about climate action served up by RW media I'm pleased it isn't worse 🧵 1/4 www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Good to know!

2/ Wir bei Greenpeace werden die Urteilsbegründung genau prüfen und über weitere rechtliche Schritte entscheiden. Schon jetzt ist klar: Zentrale Argumente unserer Klage wurden nicht berücksichtigt. Zu unserer Stellungnahme 👉 presseportal.greenpeace.de/254225-green...

Recent research shows that the potential of both carbon capture & storage and ecosystem restoration to mitigate climate change have been greatly over-estimated It is not going to be possible to suck all that carbon out of the sky once it's up there We have onlu one option: stop burning stuff

Indeed!

60% of global land beyond safe ecological limits. @timesofindia on our recent study about functional biosphere integrity. PIK Director Johan #Rockström: #ClimateChange, #Biodiversity loss & land use must be treated as part of one interconnected crisis. 👇 timesofindia.indiatimes.com/science/eart...

“The only way to avoid further abrupt changes is to slash emissions rapidly enough to hold warming as close to 1.5°C as possible.”

“What’s happening in Antarctica right now will affect the world for generations to come, from rising sea levels to extreme changes in the climate system.”

Which is also bad news for the rest of us.

A must read! Long awaited paper on geoengineering!

We need emissions cuts, not geoengineering:

“sometimes you have to just look out and see what’s within your reach. And this problem is within our reach, so we just see it as sort of doing our part.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How to hasten the AMOC collapse and make Britain uninhabitable (or at least really miserable).
