Point of no return: a hellish β€˜hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware

The Guardian just published a story on our paper "The Risk of a Hothouse Earth Trajectory" regarding a potential point of no return. You can read it for free here: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Humanities biggest crisis i think is our crisis of imagination. We can't imagine a world that isn't like this one (because it's all we have known). So we will do anything including digging up and destroying what is left of the life supporting capacity of our planet in an attempt to maintain this

The presumed upcoming El Nino will help cement and quantify global warming acceleration, showing that 2C global warming is likely to be reached in the 2030s, not at midcentury.

The Sustainability Conference Where Everyone Was Given Truth Serum The conference began like any other.

This is brilliant, I have all but given up on sustainability conferences (seems almost every conference is one) but I would do anything to attend this one. Anyone have some truth serum?

For you to believe that you must be misinformed, uninformed or lying. You seem to forget they are made mined transported and connected using fossil fuels and the eroi of fossils are declining and all the minerals ore concentrations are declining. How can they possibly remain cheap?

About as much use as a chocolate fireguard What is the point of climate negations if they cannot even mention fossil fuels?

We shouldn't be surprised with the outcome of Cop30. We have three decades of failure that shows us where this road leads to. It's time to change course.

The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer

In our Climate Report my coauthors and I say: We are hurtling toward climate chaos. The planet's vital signs are flashing red. Consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now. Read report here doi.org/10.1093/bios...

As we alarmingly wrote "We are hurtling toward climate chaos" in our new State of the Climate Report which just came out. We may be on the path of a hothouse Earth trajectory as shown in this figure. Read the full report: doi.org/10.1093/bios...

Do the Math | Using physics and estimation to assess energy, growth, optionsβ€”by Tom Murphy One of the most common reactions is that abandoning agriculture is tantamount to committing many billions of people to death, since the planet can’t support billions of hunter-gatherersβ€”especially given the dire toll on ecological health already accumulated.
