Self-proclaimed climate “skeptics” like to claim we’re near record-low CO₂ levels. In reality, CO₂ is now around 430 ppm - 2.5× the record low (~170 ppm) and over 50% above pre-industrial levels (~280 ppm). And it’s rising faster than at any point in this 800,000-year record.

Weather & climate data = the invisible ingredient of every forecast, early warning & climate action. Yet 90% is missing in the world’s most resource-scarce countries. A new @UN_SOFF impact bond aims to close this gap—targeting $200 million by 2026📢climatepromise.undp.org/news… #COP30

“It found that shareholders of Britain’s privatised energy companies have taken at least £70.7bn in dividend payouts between 2010 and 2025, rather than reinvesting that money or reducing bills.” “The analysis found that £416 of the average bill of £1,719 was taken as pre-tax profits by the major electricity generators, networks and household suppliers last year.” theguardian.com/politics/202…

Congratulations Yorkshire Water! In the busiest week of the summer holiday you decided to belch sewage into three of the most popular beaches on the East Yorkshire coast around Bridlington and Scarborough. No notices. Just thousands of unaware families + kids swimming in sewage.

1 billion people in Africa still cook with basic fuels like wood, charcoal & dung, contributing to over 800,000 premature deaths a year – mostly women & children. Solving this major injustice would cost less than 0.1% of global energy investment. More 👉 iea.li/3GUewI1

Earth’s water cycle is shifting in unprecedented ways due to human changes to agriculture systems and human-caused climate change. The shifts could affect the accuracy of climate models, water management practices, and more.

#Antarctic This never ceases to amaze me - during our polar ice dives I've never seen a brinicle form. Underwater cameraman Hugh Miller used extraordinary ingenuity and dedication to show us this. See how he did it in🧵1/3

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

What's happening in California will not stay only in California. Our world leaders must act now. There is no value of our beautiful house, luxurious car or lots of money on a dead planet. Act now! 🙏 My thoughts and prayers with the people of California. 😥 #ClimateCrisis

Earth's moistest year on record came with numerous devastating flooding events - almost too many to count. Those were associated with total atmospheric moisture being above average for 86% of the planet. This was largely driven by excessive amounts of ocean heat.
