1987 warnte der große US-Ozeanforscher Wally Broecker in der Top-Fachzeitschrift Nature eindringlich vor abrupten Klimawechseln durch Instabilität der Atlantikströmung #AMOC: „Wir spielen russisches Roulette mit dem Klima“.
Jahrzehnte Forschung zeigen: die Gefahr ist noch größer als er dachte.

Två medarbetare utreds för brott – är det kris på UD? - Studio Ett
Det är turbulent på Utrikesdepartementet efter senaste dagarnas turer.Säkerhetspolisen har två separata pågående brottsutredningar mot medarbetare på Regeringskansliet. ...
Att Kristersson i de svåra säkerhetspolitiska tider vi lever i inte lyckas tillsätta en nationell säkerhetsrådgivare (en roll han själv laddat med stor prestige) är en dråplig sammanfattning av ledarskapet just nu.
Gästade Studio Ett nyss om läget i RK/på UD.

Various climate indicators for the last 2024 years.
As the climate data for 2024 continues to arrive, I've updated my graphic showing changes in various climate indicators for the recent past, and the last 2000 years.
Most notable change is a big jump for tropospheric temperatures (TLT) in 2024.
[Sea level and land humidity data not yet available.]

Deras mål: Samla in 30 miljoner dollar – för att befria dina sociala flöden
Börjar det bli svårt att andas i dina sociala medier? Det tycker åtminstone arrangörerna bakom kampanjen ”Free our feeds”.
Börjar det bli svårt att andas i dina sociala medier? Det tycker åtminstone arrangörerna bakom kampanjen ”Free our feeds”. Därför ska de nu samla in 30 miljoner dollar och befria våra sociala medier från klåfingriga och makthungriga miljardärer som, låt säga, Elon Musk.

The cover of the book Parable of the Sower.
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

I have a new analysis over at The Climate Brink exploring how rates of warming have changed over the past century.
Post-1970, GHGs (CO2, CH4, etc.) would have led to just under 0.2C per decade, but falling aerosols (SO2) have increased that rate to 0.25C. www.theclimatebrink....

Världen är just nu ett kaos skapat av maktgalna män. Män som med militära insatser vill ta över andra länder. Män som köper sociala nätverk och gör det till ett träsk av desinformation. Män som låter militären bomba ihjäl tusentals barn. Overklighetskänsla. När fan ska det här upphöra?
