The #StateOfTheCryosphereReport 2024, coordinated by @ICCInet, cautions that current climate commitments, leading the world to well over 2°C of warming, would bring disastrous & irreversible consequences for billions of people from global ice loss: pml.ac.uk/news/new-internati…

The #HighSeasTreaty was adopted one year ago🎉 We're thrilled it aims to protect marine #biodiversity in the world's high seas, including the #Arctic. But we need to get it ratified 🤝 We invited @BabaBrinkman of @EventRapInc to our latest webinar. He composed a birthday song👇

Global warming close to 1.5°C begs the question what will happen to the #ParisAgreement 1.5°C goal. Some have declared it deader than a doornail. I suggest a contrasting view: 1.5°C will never die My opinion @ProSyn Your reflections are very welcome project-syndicate.org/commen…

HARVARD PREDICTS PERMANENT WAR Economists at Harvard, who presumably know what they are talking about, have finally woken up to the fact that destroying the economy means the economy gets destroyed. Meaning there is not some supernatural separation between, you know - climate change "out there" in the natural world - and the real manly world of getting on and making good money. 'A 3C temperature increase will cause “precipitous declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100” the paper states.' But they get to the point when they say: “These magnitudes are comparable to the economic damage caused by fighting a war domestically and permanently.” So the war goes on for 100,000 years - give or take, of course. Main take away - YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET YOUR PENSION. theguardian.com/environment/….
