As an old saying — attributed to Winston Churchill — goes: “Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing once all other possibilities have been exhausted.” Let’s hope this applies to climate change.

We desperately need global educational infrastructure —one capable of countering climate change disinformation while educating people about the consequences of inaction. As Sir David Attenborough has observed, “Saving the planet is now a communications challenge.”

The Great Melting is upon us.

Published today: our new paper showing a 44-year trend of increasing global wildfire disasters (fatalities and economic losses) due to climate change-induced extreme weather. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Decades ago, I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Jane Goodall speak to a full auditorium at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. Her talk was inspiring, filled with hope and wisdom about our natural world. The world needs more people like her, especially now!

"Past efforts to stem biodiversity loss and nature’s decline have not met their goals because they have failed to address the underlying causes: deeply rooted, interconnected social and cultural patterns that shape, influence, and reinforce direct and indirect drivers of biodiversity loss."

"Biodiversity is declining across terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems in Europe due to persistent pressures driven by unsustainable production and consumption patterns, demonstrated most notably in the food system." #EU27 #Biodiversity www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/...

63 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd #history 🗃️

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Despite recent gains in renewable energy usage, & even if these recent trends persist for the next three decades, carbon intensity by 2050 would be 0.02 kg CO2e per $ of GDP, which would still result in temperature increases over 3° above pre-industrial levels.

Now outside the paywall!

World’s oceans fail key health check as acidity crosses critical threshold for marine life. Scientists call for renewed global effort to curb fossil fuels as seven of nine planetary boundaries now transgressed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Well, without the U.S. leading the world in reducing carbon emissions, others won’t do enough to avoid catastrophic warming. Madness, just madness.

🚨🚨 If I could just summarize 1 sentence from the new National Academy of Sciences study on climate, boldface, flashing red, it would be: "the evidence for current and future harm to human health and welfare created by human-caused GHGs is beyond scientific dispute." BEYOND SCIENTIFIC DISPUTE 🚨🚨

www.bbc.com/culture/arti.... I remember watching this movie back in the early 1960s as a kid and it scared the hell out of me.

Despite ongoing scientific warnings that we are heading toward an environmental and economic catastrophe, many continue to see climate change as a distant issue—and our collective response remains inadequate. In many ways, our own evolutionary psychology works against us.

🌊 In 2023, oceans should’ve absorbed more CO2 due to El Niño, but they didn’t Despite cooler tropical Pacific waters, record-high SSTs led to ~10% less ocean CO2 uptake than expected, especially in the Northern Hemisphere Warming waters = weaker carbon sink www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Climate change is not just about rising temperatures—it’s about loss. And that loss will only grow worse in the years ahead. Some impacts are already here: Ecosystems are unraveling, and things we’ve long taken for granted are beginning to decline—or vanish.

Meanwhile, back in reality, global ocean heat content just updated through June 2025 and set a new record high. Time to wake up! Data (anomalies) & methods from www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/globa...

I made a comprehensive post last week on the state of the science on rapid intensification; climate change increases the odds. What’s been observed:“ From 1970-2020 in the Atlantic, the 99.5th percentile of maximum hurricane intensification rates for a 12-hour window expanded from 42 mph to 60 mph.”

Here's the press release - available via @ametsoc.org: www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am.... "For decades, the State of the Climate has provided the most comprehensive annual update on Earth’s climate" Anyone see any coverage or statements by NOAA (like they usually do)? Just honestly very sad...

As the fossil fuels industry uses its control of Trump to suppress alternative energy sources, China soars into the lead globally

I usually tell people that *so far*, habitat loss, not climate change, has been the major driver of bird population declines... but now we're starting to get analyses directly connecting bird declines to extreme weather events fueled by climate change. 🪶 theconversation.com/70-years-of-...

Nonnative species have been introduced to all regions worldwide - including Antarctica and the most remote islands. Numbers of nonnative species of all taxa are increasing across all regions, often accelerating, and likely underestimated. #bioinvasions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Farmer confidence battered by climate change Research shows over 80% of farmers are concerned about the impact of climate change on their ability to make a living, as more than four fifths say extreme weather has hit their productivity. eciu.net/media/press...

Top insurers fear the climate crisis could soon outpace industry solutions, effectively threatening to make entire regions around the world uninsurable. Another reason to form a Global Climate Change Center.

Banks recognize that we’re on track for a roughly 3°C rise in global temperatures by 2100—and with it, the profound risks this poses to the world economy.

It’s no longer a question of if—but when—the insurance industry, as we know it, will collapse under the mounting economic disasters driven by climate change.

If insurers withdraw due to climate risks and costs, it’s not just a climate problem—it becomes a housing crisis, a business crisis, & a financial crisis all at once. The White House is insanely championing unchecked fossil fuel emissions threatening nearly every other sector of the global economy.

In the end, AI won’t save us — it’s a prophet trapped in a burning house. It will watch us go over the edge… and blink out moments after we do. 5/5

This might be the start of a trend. Just to be safe, I wouldn’t invest your money in insurance company stocks.
