Despite today's grim milestone with the world passing 1.5C over the past 12 months, I see some reasons for cautious climate hope. We stand both on the brink of severe climate impacts, but also on the brink of a rapid energy transition away from fossil fuels.

The Dutch team who took Shell to court and WON have just published a public "Climate Case Tool" so that we can all learn from their strategy and success, and replicate it as far as possible. climatecase.milieudefensie.nl Thanks to Milieudefensie Donald Pols 🇺🇦 @donaldpols.bsky.social & the whole team. 👏👏👏👏

New study: the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”. The paper by Dutch colleagues adds more weight to recent warnings, such as the OECD Climate Tipping Points report of 2022 and the Global Tipping Points report published 2023. realclimate.org/index.php/arch…

Important new PIK study. A shift in our diets could make a considerable difference if we do not want to crash through the 1.5°C limit in the next 10 - 15 years. This calls for globally concerted efforts to support the transition towards sustainable healthy diets.

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 4, 2024 ~ Flashback from September 17th, 1969. "Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has the effect of a pane of glass in a greenhouse ... recently man has begun to introduce instability through the burning of fossil fuels." pbs.org/wnet/americanm…

“It is morally reprehensible for companies to continue expanding exploration and production of carbon fuels in the face of knowledge now for decades that their products are harmful.” Just 57 companies linked to 80% of emissions since 2016 theguardian.com/environment/20…

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around 4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today, the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, & large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.
