Vi befinner oss i en period av extrem värme i haven och vi kan räkna med att det kommer bli ännu värre. Så höga temperaturer ökar risken för orkaner, extrema regnfall, översvämningar, issmältning och havsnivåhöjning – förutom påverkan på havens ekosystem. Läs mer: www.natursidan.se/nyheter/varm...

Statistics like this are genuinely shocking, but so too has been the intensity and duration of this extraordinary heatwave in Europe. As a society, we have greatly underestimated--and therefore underpriced--the cost of highly extreme heat events in a rapidly warming world.

CLIMATE CHANGE ATTRIBUTION: "the first study to directly attribute the changes of a major Antarctic outlet glacier to the activities of humans." More than 1/3 of ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is from Pine Island Glacier, one of the single biggest contributors to global sea level rise.

This is the future Big Oil built for us. Fossil fuel companies knew decades ago that their products would drive increasingly severe and frequent heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires, but lied to protect their own profits at the expense of public health and safety. The public deserves accountability.

Europe's worst heatwave so far, in terms of heat stress measures and temperatures - brought to you by fossil fuels. New @wwattribution.bsky.social study showing how such deadly heat became possible in only a few decades. www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuel-...

Right now I'm in the epicentre of the heatwave, in southwest France, where the brutality of the heat has ground life to a halt. And I have to keep reminding myself: this is only the beginning.

Are we willing to invest just five cents per person per year to maintain one of the world’s most important climate monitoring systems? That provides crucial information about a potentially existential risk for Europe?

Human-driven sea-level rise has quadrupled frequency of extreme coastal sea-level events since 1900. Findings suggest climate change has already altered coastal flood risk and highlights need to integrate these changes into adaptation and risk management strategies: @natclimate.nature.com 🧪

Hur många svenska politiker agerar i enlighet med kunskapen att våra handlingar nu får effekter över tusentals år? Om vi fortsätter som idag kommer global temperatur bli +3-4 grader år 3000 och ungefär dubbelt så högt i Sverige. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we’d all be dead. It’s taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 30% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.

We need ~30 years of data from the AMOC to be able to finally determine if it's actually collapsing. We're at 20 years of data. Removing this now means we can't definitively determine a potential AMOC collapse that could result in substantial climate disruptions. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

A major US deep-ocean monitoring network is being scaled back. “Ongoing monitoring of the ocean is critical, especially now. Concern in the oceanography community about major ocean current changes ahead is large,” says PIKs @rahmstorf.bsky.social. edition.cnn.com/2026/06/03/c...

The idea that only nuclear or gas can provide "firm power" -- the last line of defense against the relentless advance of clean energy -- is going the way of the dodo. There are no arguments left. The only reason to fight progress now is corruption & raw political power.

🧪❄️🌊 I chatted with Patrick Pester at @livescience.com about the impending demise of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, future change to Thwaites Glacier itself and the implications for sea-level rise. www.livescience.com/planet-earth... #Antarctica #sealevel #ThwaitesGlacier

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

1/ The sustainability transition doesn’t just advance from the top down and the bottom up – change also happens in the middle, and that’s where most of us can make a real difference Quick thread on a great new paper showing how *everyone* has an influential role to play 🧵

Corrected the headline image for you @irishtimes.com 📷 Patient with heat illness receiving combined emergency cooling methods. Gaudio and Grissom (2016) Cooling methods in heat stroke. The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 50(4): Fig. 3

When people magnify the environmental impacts of renewables, the implication is that they must somehow be worse than the existing energy system In reality the existing energy system is not just more destructive than renewables - it's more destructive than anyone even realises

Europe’s bottom trawling industry brings in an estimated of €180 million annually, but a new study finds its climate impacts cost society up to 90 times more. Scraping the seafloor releases centuries of stored carbon, creating billions in economic damage to human health and agriculture.

Every year now, the pre-monsoon heat (the hottest time of year in South Asia with temperatures well over 40°C) starts earlier & lasts longer - due to human-induced climate change - exposing 1billion people to deadly heat. @wwattribution.bsky.social www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

1/- VERY important new article to describe our current moment: "Fossil fascism is defined here as a political, legal & cultural system revolving around an ultra-nationalist defence of fossil fuel extraction, while silencing & suppressing any opposition to it." www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Is global warming tipping key Atlantic ocean currents towards ‘collapse’? ✍️ @ceciliakeating.carbonbrief.org 🎨 @tomoprater.carbonbrief.org and Kerry Cleaver Read here ➡️ buff.ly/mgaIBvM

You can get to a high-warming world without high emissions . That's the part of this week's "RCP 8.5 is implausible" discussion that's getting missed. A short thread on why the relief is premature 🧵

In 2025, the European ocean region experienced its highest annual sea surface temperature on record, the 4th consecutive year of record warmth. 36% experienced ‘severe’ or ‘extreme’ conditions. Read the European State of Climate #ESOTC2025 ↪️ bit.ly/ESOTC2025

👀 This should be front page news globally. The fact that it’s not speaks volumes about the capture of the media by vested interests. 57 countries, representing 1/3 of the world’s economy, met to phase out fossil fuels www.carbonbrief.org/santa-marta-... #climatechange #fossilfuels #energytransition

🌡️ Europe is the fastest‑warming continent, warming at more than 2× the global average. Changing weather patterns, reduced air pollution, declining snow cover & proximity to the rapidly warming Arctic all play a role. ⬇️

History is made by those who show up, and that is exactly what's happening in Santa Marta. There are 60 countries here, academics from all over the world, Indigenous people, civil society, all here to do one thing: figure out how to phase out fossil fuels. www.forbes.com/sites/we-don...

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast. In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically. Most people have no idea. 🧵

"A decade ago, southern sea ice suddenly and dramatically declined. Scientists say the culprit was a 'very violent release' of deep, pent-up heat." via @grist.org at grist.org/oceans/deep-...

New study: most climate models underestimate the decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC. The AMOC is on course to slow by more than 50% by the end of the century. 🌊 Very likely the AMOC will then be past the tipping point for full shutdown. 😨 us.cnn.com/2026/04/16/c...

Stunning how little (or no) connection is drawn from the present war-induced energy and economic shock to the urgency of the clean #energyTransition. Rebewables+storage avoid such vulnerabilities "Could the war in Iran trigger a global economic crisis?" www.economist.com/insider/the-...

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Så är det och det här är en av de viktigaste anledningarna till att vi måste sluta prata om klimatfrågan som en fråga om att få folk att orka sopsortera och istället prata om den som en fråga om vår fysiska, ekonomiska och existentiella säkerhet och trygghet.

this would be irreversible, so let’s not let it happen. let’s use our talents to push for the phaseout of fossil fuels.

Whew. All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El Niño event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.

Hello? Anybody home? Climate "hushing" and avoidance has allowed Trump and the fossil industry to destroy decades of effort. Where is the climate movement? Where are the Democratic politicians? Vast majorities are concerned about climate change. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It was exactly 4 years ago that we completed the work on the @ipcc.bsky.social AR6 WG 2 report. After an extended negotiations process for the Summary for Policy Makers, disrupted by the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the authors could finally exhale: new science for decision making was available.
