Rapid melting of Antarctic sea ice largely driven by ocean warming
Sea ice around Antarctica expanded for several decades until a dramatic decline in 2015. The reasons behind this are revealed by research from the University of Gothenburg.

Ny forskning om Thwaitesglaciären i Västantarktis visar att läget är värre än vi tidigare trott. Den är en av de snabbast smältande glaciärerna och förlorar idag is fem gånger snabbare än på 1990-talet, samtidigt som uttunning och isflöde accelererar

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.

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.

Obs! En ny opinionsmätning visar att 2 av 3 väljare vill att politikerna gör mer för att begränsa klimatförändringarna. Den som hävdar att det saknas folkligt stöd för klimatet har fel.

Forskning och akademisk frihet är under stark press i såväl auktoritära som demokratiska stater. Inte minst klimatforskningen, och det även i Sverige. Universitetsledningarna måste stötta dessa forskare bättre, kräver docent Mikael Karlsson och doktoranden Laila Mendy i Uppsala i ett debattinlägg.

Vi befinner oss i ett mångfacetterat nödläge där klimat, natur och samhälle hänger ihop. För att minimera skadorna krävs snabb, kunskapsbaserad handling med de globala målen för hållbar utveckling som grund. Jag är en av undertecknarna till debattartikeln.

As Bill Gates recommends a “strategic pivot” away from climate change, the Gates Foundation made record investments in fossil fuel companies in 2024, despite its 2019 pledge to divest. No one should ever listen to Gates about climate change again.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

In a newly published paper, we find that in 2025 human emissions of greenhouse gases added around 23 billion trillion joules of heat to the world's oceans – 39 times as much as the annual energy produced by all human activity on Earth.
