UN agency warns Earth is accumulating heat at an accelerating rate
Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "The widely publicised idea that we are still on track for 2.6-2.8C by the end of the century now seems wildly optimistic, if not downright impossible." www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Up to 3°C mid of 2050s. Isch over. bsky.app/profile/klim...
The bet has already been made. Going forward, we’ll treat the climate crisis as if it is a chronic condition we can learn to live with. But every year, more of the foundations of this civilization will be eroded. Just like a sandcastle in the surf.
Being aware of this years ago. Knew I would be watching this exact scenario unfold. No real sense of schadenfreude. Yes- still a science focused sense of curiosity But mostly grief.
End of the century 😂 We'll be at 2° C in a decade (if not sooner)
German scientist believe more in 3° by 2050!
if you simply replace "end" with "middle", it becomes far more realistic 🤷♀️
“A new age of climate extremes’: Earth accumulating heat at accelerating rate Increased heat will supercharge extreme weather events, warns UN agency as Cop31 climate summit begins” 11/9/26 share.google/dolhj8647lcm...
An Inconvenient Truth was released twenty years ago. Since then, Republicans have sabotaged or blocked every meaningful attempt to lessen the damage from Global Warming.
& meanwhile the tech lords are focused on <checks notes> everything else 😔
Humans, unless their hair is on fire, just don't seem to care. I don't understand it.
Yeah, the world can kiss that 1.5 degree C rise goodbye It'll be a challenge to stay below a 2.0 degree C rise, and at the moment, the odds are stacked against that
“2026 is on track to be one of the four warmest years on record globally, making 2023 to 2026 the four warmest years since records began.” Trump‘s legacy will be that the USA turned it‘s back on our kids future and threw in the towel on climate change #Sheshed www.theguardian.com/environment/...
It's the legacy of the corrupt majority in Bush v. Gore (2000) as well.
Big Oil needs to pay. What we did to the cigarette companies should look like child's play to what we do to these f*ckers. They knew and covered it up again & again. 🤬 #AmericaHasSpoken
