Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Popped to the shop with the little dog to get a couple of pears. Didn’t have a bag, so took a doggy poo bag off the lead and popped the pears in there. Heading home met another dog walker, who looked at our pear stuffed poo bag with something between fear and awe.

More than 50 heat records were broken across Australia in the last week of January, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

This is climate change, and it can be lethal.

Well... this adds up

As many Australians reel from another week of record-breaking heat, it’s worth remembering what's driving the worsening extreme weather we're experiencing: climate pollution from burning coal, oil and gas.

@jessharwoodart.bsky.social simplifies it for us perfectly.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Victoria has officially recorded its hottest temperature ever in the town of Hopetoun in the state's north west.

At 4.04pm this afternoon, Hopetoun's temperature soared to 48.9ºC, beating the previous record of 48.8ºC in the same town during the Black Saturday bushfires.

This is climate change.

My vote is for Geelong. I loved the walks along the Barwon and Eastern Beach, close to the You Yangs, Bellarine and Surf Coast. And home to the mighty Cats!

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

The algal bloom off South Australia’s coast is a devastating consequence of climate change.

We need stronger emissions targets, real investment in environmental science, and leadership that matches the urgency of this crisis.

Major reversal in ocean circulation detected in the Southern Ocean, with key climate implications | Institut de Ciències del Mar

Absolutely devastating, things like this can't really be modeled, we are now truly in uncharted waters.

Look after yourselves, do what you love and be with who you love. Control what you can, involve yourself in your community and help if you're able.

Instead of obsessing about Climate 200's crowdfunding to support candidates committed to saving our planet, maybe the media could focus more on Atlas Network's funding of individuals and organisations to promote climate denialism and undermine democracy to benefit the (very) privileged few?
