The scale of climate change can be a bit mind-boggling at times. For example, the Greenland ice sheet has lost over 6 trillion metric tons of ice since 1970 – or more than 700 tonnes lost per person for every person on the planet today:

This gorgeous new BBC chart shows how the coldest days on Earth now are warmer than the hottest days before the 1980s. You know who predicted this would happen with near-perfect precision? Exxon Mobil scientists, in an internal report in 1982. Two versions of the same chart:

Ah yeah I thought it was a good idea to save the planet and the billions of people on it from the disastrous effects of climate breakdown. But Westminster groupthink has decided it’s “out of fashion” so it’s probably fine to forget it!

Chasing the magic number - when will the AMOC collapse? We know it can collapse. Has collapse many times. And we are moving towards collapse. IPCC puts probability to < 10%. Low? Oh no, For a catastrophic event, this is VERY high. World needs to wake up. insideclimatenews.org/news/09022024/…

This terrifying FT chart paints my lifetime in the inexorably rising colours of global warming Eyeballing, it looks like, what, 0.75C of warming since the 1980s? And just look at the way the coolest months in the 2020s are mostly hotter than the hottest of the 1980s!

New paper out led by Katie Journeaux reveals a potential #climatechange feedback mechanism where wood decomposing #fungi do not show compensatory thermal responses, allowing for increased #carbon respiration under #warming

📢New paper on planting #hedgerows How much additional soil carbon builds up after planting hedges on grassland? We looked at hedge #soil carbon storage across regions with different geologies and climate in England 📜doi.org/10.1016/j.agee… thread ⬇️
