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...

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"We find that 58% of public firms’ self-reported emissions were later revised, a rate that has remained consistent for a decade. Firms are more likely to under- than overstate and the amount of understated emissions is more than twice the value of overstated emissions" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢 New paper on the impacts of AMOC collapse on European hydroclimate. 🌊 We find an AMOC collapse would exacerbate drought conditions across Europe, linked to reduced precipitation. In combination with climate change droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe. doi.org/10.5194/hess...

Adopting a low-fat #vegan diet is linked to a significant reduction in GHG #emissions and cumulative energy demand, important drivers of #climatechange.

Ireland is failing to reach its climate targets, with emissions during the first carbon budget period - which runs until the end of this year - too high.

NEW: The latest climate pledges under the Paris Agreement have driven only a slight fall in predicted global temperature rise over the course of this century. The UN Emissions Gap Report finds that implementing current policies would lead to up to 2.8°C of warming, down from 3.1°C. 🧵

🌊 Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves If global temps stay <2 °C, nearly all 64 ice shelves survive by 2300. But above ~4.5 °C, ocean melt causes 38 shelves to collapse by 2300, risking up to 10 m sea level rise. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

The UN sees the world's planet-warming greenhouse emissions falling at far too slow a pace.

As expected Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) pump out 5 times more planet-heating pollution than official figures show. Data shows PHEVs emit just 19% less CO2 than petrol and diesel cars Under laboratory tests, they were assumed to be 75% less polluting www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"The WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin said continued emissions of CO2 from human activities and an upsurge from wildfires were responsible, as well as reduced CO2 absorption by “sinks” such as land ecosystems and the ocean – in what threatens to be a vicious climate cycle." wmo.int/news/media-c...

Food must be taken seriously as an environmental problem. It uses ~38% of Earth’s land, drives ~70% of water use, and emits ~22-34% of greenhouse gas pollution globally. And beef and dairy alone drive a huge proportion of this. But there are solutions. Lots of them. go.ted.com/jonathanfoley24
