Looking back to @wwattribution.bsky.social studies in 2025 showed again, in stark terms, how unfairly the consequences of human-induced climate change are distributed. The world does not have to be like this, we have a lot of agency to make it better. www.worldweatherattribution.org/unequal-evid...

I occasionally like to share these "Mercator vs Real Country Size" animations to encourage you to buy a globe. Nothing fancy - just a basic globe. It does wonders in helping you (and your kids) to understand the world. Source: buff.ly/EGdKGR3

James Hansen is projecting the 12 month running average goes down to a minimum value of 1.4C, and then 2027 will include 12 month average of 1.7C That will mean the 5 year average will be above 1.5C by the end of 2027. "Deader than a doornail" comes to mind. jimehansen.substack.com/p/global-tem...

To say this is a problem is a gigantic understatement. We live in the golden age of AI slop. Hopefully we will soon gain the right control the algorithms that control our online life in order to filter out AI slop to a large degree.

"Due to the lapse in federal government funding, NASA is not updating this website. We sincerely regret this inconvenience." Website: worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov Sad times. What an amazing website this has been. Daily satellite views of the Arctic and Antarctic.

Did I mention we overshoot the carrying capacity of the earth.

I'll have to move Kevin slightly further to the left on my doomer-optimist scale for prominent voices.

TIL "Each cubic centimetre of snow on the glacier contains hundreds to thousands of living cells, he says, and typically four times as many viruses – a microbial habitat as complex as topsoil."

Here is @noaa.gov's model of the tsunami propagation from the people at PMEL, initiated with the earthquake location and then calibrated by the DART buoy observations. There is a wealth of great information at their website (link in thread). (1/6) ⚒️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOtJ...

WTAF. Britain in 2025

Last Friday, England and Wales were cloudless in the NASA "World View" satellite viewer worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov?v=1381490.50... @metoffice.gov.uk - the browner colours match the areas that had very little rain in the Spring? (as per your round-up video: youtu.be/HTW3n8-blEw?... )

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT IN MIDDLE EAST 51C In IRAQ with minimums of 36C, and it will get much worse next days (50/53C nights up to 40C !). Total insanity in TURKEY 48C at 350m asl 45C 1000m 40C 2000m Dozens of records broken including long term mountain stations like 38.8 Nigde :July record

UK Government debate on SRM. First 10min gives a good summary of risks by MP @rozsavage.bsky.social . Posted by @nickbreeze.genn.cc youtu.be/_pWO-8GJqT4 CC: @danmiller999.bsky.social

Systemic protections and guardrails are essential to a functioning society. Nature understands this even if oligarchs don't.

There is time for a thoughtful view of our fellow creatures and habitat. See 22 May - End of an Era - mailchi.mp/caa/end-of-a...

We're still reporting risky harvests in terms of financial losses. www.theguardian.com/environment/... Reminds me of @georgemonbiot.bsky.social warning of cascading collapse in food production similar to 2008 financial crash. E.g. empty shelves. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"An 'acid' test of our interpretation will be provided by the 2025 global temperature" - Hansen Feb 2025 Let's all hope his interpretation is wrong! That said, the lower ECS projections aren't great either. Global heating is either "much too fast", or "even faster than that".

Carbon Neutral - As told by Drax

Tell me your discipline is dangerous, without telling me.

"Passing 1.5C" As many have said, the trend hasn't passed 1.5C, but we are rushing passed the 1.5C short-term milestones, and still getting faster (Record GHG-emissions, GHG-concentrations, EEI, Sea Ice extent and volume, GMST trend).
