A sobering look at some key #climate indicators from last year - CO2 Emissions in 2024 - Record High Coal - Record High Gas - Record High Oil - Record High (tied 2019) 🧵1/9 www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-glo...

Mass bleaching of corals on the Great Barrier Reef in early 2024 was the most severe and most widespread yet recorded - surpassing 1998, 2002, 2016, 2017, 2020 & 2022. The overall mortality rate this year will exceed the 30% loss in 2016. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just published in One Earth, our analysis of children’s questions about climate change reveals that they are most concerned about how to take action.

The loss of Antarctic sea ice is not only an environmental problem but one that could have sudden and enormous impacts on our coasts, weather and economy - says @deformedearth.bsky.social calling for political leadership in Antarctic research and #climate adaptation #greensky

I went head-to-head with Hannah Ritchie of Our World In Data about her book, It's Not the End of the World, and its data omissions which paint a far rosier picture of the polycrisis than her backer, Bill Gates, would have us believe. news.mongabay.com/2024/01/its-...

(Some of) the super-rich demand to be taxed more: “this is about our personal values and the kind of society we want to live in. I don’t want to hide away in my big house watching TV by myself or with other millionaires while people are having to visit food banks or that new phenomenon, heat banks.”

Wow, Sage policy profiles is a great tool! I discovered my research cited in policy documents in UK, Ireland, EU, US, and Aotearoa New Zealand, but strangely not in Australia where it has all taken place. #geosky #greensky #academicsky

🧊📏🌏 Some measurements in Australian terms: the world's largest iceberg (currently) is about as long as the distance from Melbourne to Geelong. Or from Brisbane to the Gold Coast. Or Sydney to Wollongong. That's 74km x 63km x 400m deep. cosmosmagazine.com/earth/oceans...

I love to donate to great initiatives as Christmas gifts for family who don't need more stuff. The surfer in my life is getting a donation on his behalf to Waves of Wellness - who support young people in nature with surf coaches who are trained mental health professionals. www.foundationwow.org

This new report is very important to me. We have explicitly collected good news and significant positive developments since the adoption of the Paris agreement. These 5 major shifts give hope that we can do it if we really want to. newclimate.org/resources/pu... THREAD

From @farhana.bsky.social's feed: If you know folks who need a code, have them go here directly. It’s not restricted to the listed categories anymore, so journalists, activists, students, etc welcome: #academicsky #geosky #highered docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Erm..not sure that this is the message that we want to put across to our students, University of Aberdeen.

A single day above 2C doesn’t mean the world has breached the Paris target- that refers to the average temperature over multiple decades. But it highlights how incredibly urgent it is to cut emissions NOW

Welcome @vprahalad.bsky.social ! Nice to see you over here 😊

Want to take effective climate action? Global levers for whole industries *are not the same* as effective actions for individuals, companies or countries. Focus on reducing the biggest pie piece you can. Evidence-based advice from a climate scientist (me!) wecanfixit.substack.com/p/get-your-c...

"You can close your eyes and sing a lullaby to drown out the noise, but it's gonna get louder and louder and it's gonna be harder and harder to ignore"-my conversation about Saving Ourselves in the Communicating #Climate podcast: Spotify: lnkd.in/dShyH5Mv Apple Podcasts: lnkd.in/dKfGSAHY #Greensky

New research on avoiding maladaptive climate responses from Aotearoa “To be just, climate adaptation requires a counter-intuitive approach. It should prioritise community wellbeing and examine the risks posed by both climate change and adaptation.”#greensky #geosky
