Thanks to all that shared and contributed - they reached their initial target last night! The stretch target is still in play so please do what you can do spread the word. These fine folks face serious risk of being imprisoned for a considerable amount of time, such is the state of UK protest law.

A massive new report by over 100 scientists modeling the climate effects of the 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption finds "The record-high global surface temperatures in 2023/2024 were not due to the Hunga eruption": juser.fz-juelich.de/...

Great news: they are over halfway to their target. Let's see if we can get them there before Christmas.

European skiers be like. A situation so dire that even the Daily Express reported it - and led with climate change! www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...

1 hour 8 minutes? You probably don't have the time. But in case you do, here is a recording of my @gsiexeter.bsky.social seminar at @exeter.ac.uk earlier this week in which I talk about overshoot, consequences and possible ways forward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpbH...

Interesting to compare the similarities of the imaginaries from the #AI risk community & the #Climate risk community. Are we going to be saved or damned? Q. How does one life a life/ plan a project in the face of this much systemic uncertainty?

If you're bewildered as to why you are being constantly told AI is going to revolutionise everything & that if you don't adopt it then you will be left behind, unemployed... then consider the fact that 92% of US GDP increase in 2025 was from AI investments. www.cnbc.com/2025/10/14/a...

Even if @bsky.app is an 'echo chamber', so what? I don't spend time trying to establish in-person conversations that I would find unpleasant even hurtful. X/Twitter is often a cesspool when it comes to issues I find interesting. And it's owned by the world's richest techno-fascist.

Handy thread!

This is a long shot but... If anyone knows David Scharfenberg at Boston Globe - can you tell him I'm replying to his emails but he doesn't seem to be receiving them! If you don't know him, perhaps you could RT to help me reach him?

Hi @aaronjbastani.bsky.social You really should ask James to come on and explore why Trees and Whales wont alone solve this- and why an immediate and decisive turnaround is now needed.

Perhaps see some of you in an hour...

I finally found the time to take a look at the EPA's new climate change website, and... holy $h!t! This is how it describes the role of carbon dioxide concentrations, which comes last after changes in orbit & rotation, solar activity, albedo, and volcanism. 1/3 www.epa.gov/climatechang...

I expect to see more of this given the continuing stampede to build vast data centres. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.

I will be giving the final @gsiexeter.bsky.social seminar of 2025 "Living beyond limits: Consequences of missing the decisive decade for preserving our planet’s life-supporting systems." 10th Dec 2:30pm UK time. You can join remotely👇 universityofexeter.zoom.us/j/9357183404...

"Of particular concern is our finding that deep con- vection in many models stops in the next decade or two, and that this is a tipping point which pushes the northern AMOC into a terminal decline from which it will take centuries to recover, if at all." 😬

How likely is an #AMOC shutdown? Here's our latest study based on 768 runs with 38 standard climate models (the CMIP6 models). Note these do not include any meltwater from Greenland mass loss, so might underestimate the risk a bit. 2/2 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Collapse of key Atlantic current could bring extreme drought to Europe for centuries, study finds. @swinda.bsky.social That's an under-appreciated impact of #AMOC shutdown, of particular concern given the recent results showing much higher likelihood of this. 1/2 www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

"[China] will not achieve the target of reducing carbon emissions per unit of GDP nor the pledges to “strictly control” coal consumption growth and new coal-fired power plants" "The policy environment and target-setting for the next few years are concerning, raising the risk of an emission rebound"

If we do not get big money out of UK politics we are doomed. There should be strict (and enforced) rules on the funding of political parties.

I've tried multiple times to get an editor to commission me to write train & travel stories. Alas to no avail. So just putting it out there: if anyone wants a 🚂🤓 to write about UK/European train travel (in particular sleeper services) I'm your guy! www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/...

Thanks. Made good use of your work: iceblog.org/2025/12/03/2...

Not saying we saved the best till last but... Final @gsiexeter.bsky.social seminar of the year next week: 10th December 14:30-15:30, Streatham Court Lecture Theatre C & online. Email [email protected] to confirm your place in person or online. Hope to see you there!

Indeed. A much more accurate name for a 'hot dog' would be 'mechanically recovered meat paste encased within sheep intestines'

Every time I hear someone say "but we must" when it comes to scaling up carbon dioxide removal in order to stabilise the climate, I am reminded of Hilbert's "We must know. We shall know".

Continental rifting erodes mantle roots, transporting enriched material into oceans and driving oceanic volcanism. A study in Nature Geoscience shows that continental break-up reorganizes shallow mantle dynamics, affecting the geosphere and carbon cycle. go.nature.com/3XjAk4G ⚒️ 🧪

I don't blame the student for appealing, why not if they genuinely cannot understand what the assessment is designed to do. I absolutely condemn the cowardice of the university in not clearly rejecting the student's appeal while explaining to the student why they failed & providing further support.

Extreme weather has killed nearly 1,000 people across southern and south-eastern Asia as cyclones turbocharged rain systems across the region www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

James, please read why the climate problems with this plan go beyond FF production continuing with tiebacks. As part of the proposed transition off FF production, the plan increases FF consumption in UK by having fossil based CCS as a key transition pathway Read more 👉 bsky.app/profile/dran...

If we're trying to stop the dangerous human interference in the climate, ten the annual Conference of the parties climate negotiations don't work. In important respects they have been designed to not work because they ensure continued use of fossil fuels. www.technosphere.earth/about-as-muc...

We shouldn't be surprised with the outcome of Cop30. We have three decades of failure that shows us where this road leads to. It's time to change course. www.technosphere.earth/about-as-muc...

Prof of Medicine @hughmontgomery.bsky.social says climate is biggest risk to health. “I am scared” he says. Web of impacts of climate lead to wars and societal collapse. Plant-based diets and cuts to new oil and gas are among the tools Gov needs to promote.

Food security scientist @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social says farmers don’t know how to get through the next floods and droughts. Gov needs to support plan-rich diets to support farmers and health and reduce food waste for cleaner air & water for healthy people, soils, nature, and climate.

Professor of Climate Change Tim Lenton @exeter.ac.uk describes tipping points cascades. Coral reefs appear to be doomed. AMOC collapse will both freeze and superheat UK, and halve wheat and maize globally. Positive tipping points, eg death of oil & gas from policy are essential for survival.

Environmental lawyer @tessakhan.bsky.social says only 7% of our forests are healthy, and depleted marshes and soils put over 5 million homes at risk of flooding. @wwf.org.uk showed over half of voters think the gov is not doing enough to protect nature.

Good luck to everyone presenting and attending today. We need this!
