Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

Your 'moment of doom' for Oct. 7, 2025 ~ our yesterdays have lighted fools.

"The failure of carbon offsets to cut planet-heating pollution is 'not due to a few bad apples', ... but down to deep-seated systemic problems that incremental change will not solve."

I find little to distinguish between the near-term human extinction folks, who for nearly a decade preached there would be no humans left on Earth by 2026, and those who believed the rapture would happen last month.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way out of this predicament.

Advocates raise alarm over Pfas pollution from datacenters amid AI boom Tech companies’ use of Pfas gas at facilities may mean datacenters’ climate impact is worse than previously thought

How fast is the planet warming right now?

By looking at daily decadal differences in temperature we get a rate of about 0.35°C per decade. However, the rate of warming itself is increasing and is forecast to reach 0.40°C per decade by the early 2030's.

September averaged 1.47°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline, snapping a three-month "cool" streak.

Will this heat continue? The Climate 8-ball is consulting the I Ching.

Beware of those who misuse "exponential" in their misunderstanding and false explanations of climate data. It's a big word, lots of syllables, but I'm telling you straight out, they are misuing it over and over again.

And "acceleration" is bad enough.

There is a lot of misinformation out there about Arctic sea-ice volume.

No, volume is not at an all-time low or even an all-time monthly August low.

Yes, volume is 3rd lowest on record for the month of August, behind 2012 & 2019.

September data will be out in about a week.
