The Ice Is Melting
The Land Is Flooding
The Ocean Is Dying
The Trees are Burning
The Living Planet Is Unraveling
It's happening on our watch.
We can't solve this emergency if we keep expanding the problem. #ActOnClimate

Forests stabilize climate better than ANY tech we've invented.
And protecting an existing forest stores 8-12x more carbon than planting a new one.
We don't need to invent the future. We need to protect it. 🌲

All of my NCEI Australian record count sites have been updated with brand new anomaly and national avg. temp data. Record ratio and anomaly data have been analyzed: guyonclimate.com/2019/07/02/…

Super Typhoon Champi is generating colossal 10-metre waves east of the Philippines, a stark demonstration of a warming world. We are adding energy to the Earth's climate system, and the consequences are becoming harder to ignore.

Die Welt steuert auf 2,8°C Erhitzung zu. Was nach wenig klingt, wäre in Wirklichkeit eine tödliche Katastrophe, die unseren Wohlstand vernichten würde. Um den Kl!makollaps zu verhindern, müssen wir jetzt die Notbremse ziehen.

Comparación de ATSM: 20 de octubre de 1997 vs. 20 de octubre de 2026.
Esta comparación es consistente con lo que nuestros análisis vienen mostrando desde hace meses: #ElNiño 2026–27 dispone de una enorme cantidad de calor almacenado en el océano y energía en el sistema, superior a la observada durante 1997–98.
Eso aumenta el potencial de impactos muy fuertes, incluso comparables o superiores a 1997.
Pero hay una distinción fundamental:
ningún evento #ElNiño se comporta exactamente igual que otro.
Más energía en el sistema no significa automáticamente impactos más intensos en cada región. La circulación atmosférica, la ubicación del calentamiento y los mecanismos océano-atmósfera determinan dónde, cuándo y cómo se manifiestan esos impactos.
Los eventos extremos que ya estamos observando en Chile y Ecuador son señales que debemos seguir muy de cerca. No prueban por sí solos cómo evolucionará toda la temporada, pero muestran el tipo de extremos que este sistema es capaz de favorecer.

Bon vídeo per recordar que moltes de les nostres cales són la sortida a la mar de torrents. Que corrin un pic cada molts anys no vol dir que el torrent no existeixi: són indrets en equilibri aparent. En realitat són dinàmics, un episodi retira més arena en una hora que en 50 anys
Les platges del nord-est d’Eivissa han quedat destrossades pel temporal.

Cala Nova, Es Figueral i Cala Llenya són algunes de les afectades. ↘️

after 1600km, a solar and battery powered refrigerated trailer was still 67% charge! No more diesel burning generators to keep truck trailer refrigerated!

💧☣️ Rainwater isn't safe anymore.
Rainwater is no longer considered safe to drink anywhere on Earth. A Study found PFAS "forever chemicals" in rainwater around the globe, exceeding some drinking water guidelines, including Antarctica.
How can we pretend this is normal?

"Billions of dollars are disappearing from the economy in the form of burned houses and forests, lost wages, lost waterfronts, closed businesses, degraded health... Consider, too, how much more we now spend on air conditioning and air filtration."

I discussed the new U.N. report on breaching the 1.5C dangerous global warming limit (and the unhelpful green-lighting of new North Sea gas drilling project by U.K. Prime Minster Andy Burnham) earlier this evening with @BBCNews:

They aren't crossing our roads to cause trouble. They're simply trying to survive in a world where their forests are disappearing
What we call development, they may experience as losing everything they've ever known
Please slow down
They deserve to make it home safely, too

Every fraction of a degree of global warming matters.
Yet greenhouse gas emissions remain at record levels.
The new @UNEP #EmissionsGap Report shows what it will take to change course & pull back from the brink of a climate catastrophe.

Great piece by Tom Harris on cloud feedback
The world's cloud cover is reducing, which makes the planet hotter
This may be why Miocene Climatic Optimum temperatures were 7 - 8C up on pre-industrial for CO2 levels of just 400 - 600ppm
Very, very, scary
