Worrying. This year’s record El Nino, perhaps the strongest for 150 years - coming in top of climate change - may push the Amazon past its tipping point, researchers believe. The rainforest’s destruction would have incalculable worldwide consequences. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

How stupid do you have to be to tell yourself that this is not going to be that bad? NASA graph:

Excellent as ever from @KevinClimate. But it is obscene that just decades - if not YEARS - from catastrophic collapse, crystal clear & accessible analysis like this is still only happening on the fringes of our media & politics (IF it happens at all). piped.video/mBFos_T7cT0?is=H2nw…

It's confronting to think that on average we're now experiencing the least extreme weather that we'll see for the rest of our lives. This is not the 'new normal.' It's going to get much worse until we stop burning fossil fuels. It's simple. For us to have a future, the oil industry can have no future. #MakeOilHistory

Monthly sea surface temperature anomaly... July 2025 vs July 2026

I want to answer the biggest misconception I see about climate change on the internet. Has Earth been warmer than it has now? Of course it has. For most of Earth’s history, temperatures have been warmer than they have today. Earth is the warmest it has been in roughly ~125,000 years. But, guess what? Our modern world did not develop in this rapidly warming world. Our infrastructure and Industrial Revolution occurred in the stable, cooler climate of the 19th and 20th centuries. Humans and our world’s ecosystems have never had to adapt to a climate changing and warming so fast. Modern civilizations flourished in the interglacial period of the last 11,000 years. Earth has always had natural cycles and the climate is always changing. The key difference is the speed of the current change. About 10x then the average warming observed after Earth’s recent ice ages. And CO2 is rising 250x faster than after our last ice age. In the last 10 years, Earth has warmed 0.35°C. Emerging from the last Ice Age, it took about 700 to 900 years for Earth to warm that much. That combination of rapid temperature rise and extremely fast CO₂ increase is what makes the present period so different from the natural shifts of the past.

It won’t go back to normal after this heat period passes, Kay, this is some of the least volatile weather we are ever going to see for the rest of our lives. It’s going to get hotter and hotter and worse and worse. It’s affecting crops already all over the world and we’re about to face a historic El Niño. Leading British scientist: @KevinClimate

Just another record-breaking day in the moronocene, while peak idiocy still lies ahead.

The Nino 3.4 sea surface temperature (preliminary) is at 29.65°C, as of August 9th, the 72nd consecutive record daily high, on its way to crushing the previous record high of 29.82°C, set November 17th, 2015. The Nino 3.4 anomaly currently sits at 2.77°C above the 1991-2020 average.

Between 2002 and 2023, Antarctica shed an average of 150 billion metric tons of ice per year. The Thwaites Glacier is ‘hanging on by its fingernails’: buff.ly/44yHuVv There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

Francesca Albanese: "Israel has unveiled its vision for Palestine-which is none. No Palestine between the river and the sea. The genocide is a state enterprise. The apartheid is a state enterprise. There is no good Israel and bad Israel -it's all Israel. Sanction Israel. Isolate Israel. Cut trade. No more arms. The Nakba has never been over." Albanese-the UN Special Rapporteur-just delivered the most brutal diagnosis of Israel's project. This is not about Netanyahu. This is not about the far-right. This is Israel

Latest 12z ECMWF SSTA model shows we could reach 5C by mid August with the Nino 3.4 index possibly reaching 3.1C in the next 2 weeks or so. What a historical El Niño that were witnessing. My gosh. @Weather_West

Regarding whether, as @ZackPolanski said, climate change is a World War 2 level threat, every single political, journalist, broadcaster and citizen, needs to listen to this interview with Prof Kevin Anderson @KevinClimate piped.video/mBFos_T7cT0?is=OYji… Professor Kevin Anderson is Professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University of Manchester, with additional appointments at Uppsala University and the University of Bergen. Formerly Deputy Director and Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, he is one of the UK’s leading experts on climate mitigation, carbon budgets and energy policy, and has advised governments and the European Commission on climate change. @piersmorgan @mrjamesob @IainDale @TomSwarbrick1 @vicderbyshire @jonsopel @maitlis @Emmabarnett @tombradby @WilfredFrost @CliveMyrieBBC @amolrajan @SophyRidgeSky @TVNaga01 @OborneTweets @JohnSimpsonNews @richardpbacon @rickedwards1 @MickBooker @MartinDaubney @PatrickChristys @carolvorders @bbcvickiyoung @KamaliMelbourne @BBCsarahsmith @kirstiemallsopp @krishgm @tombradby @skynews @itvnews @ITNProductions @esmewren @adamboultonTABB @KayBurley @alexberesfordTV @kayeadams @janem @rickygervais @rachelburden @bbcnews @skynews @NickyAACampbell @ShelaghFogarty @bbcnickrobinson @tomhfh @susannareid100

Here is Dr James Hansen, @DrJamesEHansen warning that people don’t understand the planet is facing the equivalent devastation of a direct hit from a giant asteroid. Dr James Hansen is one of the world’s most influential climate scientists. A former Director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, he was among the first to warn that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions were dangerously warming the planet. His landmark 1988 testimony to the US Congress helped bring climate change to global attention, and his research has shaped climate science and policy for decades. He is Adjunct Professor at the Columbia Climate School, where he directs the Program on Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions. Before that, he spent more than 30 years at NASA, serving as Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies from 1981 until his retirement from NASA in 2013. He continues to publish influential climate research and is one of the world’s most widely cited climate scientists.
