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

Time required for a 1C increase in global average temperature

1970 - 2008 average rise 0.18C per decade = 55 years

2015 - 2024 average rise 0.27C pd = 37 years

New study - last 10+ years - average rise 0.35 pd = 28 years

One last graphic showing Arctic sea-ice volume, running second behind 2017, this one using the "monthly average" volume posted by PIOMAS.

The accelerating Arctic sea-ice catastrophe is bad enough, no need to catastrophize.

Remembering the ethical activism of #JesseJackson

I miss it when our neighbours across the ocean had a president we could respect.

One who turned deep thought and contemplation into flowing oratory

#Obama

Not, you know, a racist rapist spitting word salad.

Shift in the Gulf Stream could signal ocean current collapse Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There are signs that this is already happening, and a more abrupt shift could wa...

Time to get a move on with the renewable evolution.

Sea level much higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments - Nature Meta-analyses on a global scale show that the measured coastal mean sea level is higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments.

The closer we look, the more we see how much worse our predicament actually is.

Millions of coastal dwelling humans will be on the move soon.

We are absolutely NOT prepared.

‘Unprecedented’: Scientists sound climate alarm over Europe’s forests More than 200,000 hectares of European forests could be disturbed annually by 2100, according to a new study.

29 years ago, Wag the Dog told the story of a US president mired in sex scandal that threatened to undermine his presidency so he decided he needed to concoct a make-believe war to boost his support.

"WIR MÜSSEN UNS NICHT DAFÜR ENTSCHULDIGEN, KLIMASCHUTZ ZU MACHEN, SONDERN DIE IN DIE VERANTWORTUNG NEHMEN, DIE ES NICHT TUN. ES GEHT NICHT UM DAS KLIMA, WENN WIR DAS KLIMA SCHÜTZEN, ES GEHT UM DIE FREIHEIT, SICHERHEIT UND DAS LEBEN DER MENSCHEN."

Alles was Robert Habeck sagt! 👏Mit freundlichen Grüßen an die Klimasaboteure von Union und SPD. #Heizungsgesetz 🌻💚

Preise für Erdgas, Biomethan und grünen Wasserstoff im Vergleich

Die Regierung will das #Heizungsgesetz ändern und Gasheizungen wieder zulassen – mit Grüngasquote. Das verteuert Wohnen für Mieter:innen. Für wirksamen #Klimaschutz reicht das nicht. Profitieren dürften vor allem Eigentümer und Gasversorger. Warum unterstützt die SPD das?

Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds Fish levels fall by 7.2% with as little as 0.1C of warming per decade, northern hemisphere research shows

Rising ocean temps blamed for massive die-off of marine life. "Researchers examined the year-to-year change of 33,000 [fish] populations in the northern hemisphere.... They found the drop in biomass from chronic heating to be as high as 19.8% in a single year." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The hard road back from overshoot - Nature Climate Change As global temperatures move beyond 1.5 °C, overshoot now defines the landscape ahead, sharpening legal claims, exposing economic risks and revealing how far politics still trail the pace of change.

The idea that we can “overshoot now, fix later” is simplistic.

Overshoot relies on massive CDR, but temporary warming can trigger tipping points and long-lived changes: ice sheet loss, permafrost thaw, ecosystem shifts.

Cooling later doesn’t guarantee reversal.

We’re headed towards global carnage as the climate and biosphere collapse around us and wealthy and powerful Western nations and their vassals and proxies annihilate people to capture their lands and resources. This is the beginning of the end.

PFAS sind potenziell krebserregend und belasten unser Wasser und unsere Lebensmittel – dennoch drängen Chemiekonzerne darauf, die Schutzmaßnahmen für unsere Gesundheit zu schwächen. Europa kann noch handeln. Ich habe gerade unterschrieben. Du auch? action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-01...

Independent media is the last bastion of truth.

Tremendous heat in South Texas today! 104° F - in February - makes this the Hottest temperature ever recorded in winter in the US!

Turning the heating of your stove to maximum power and walking away is stupid.

That's what we do with our climate.

Earth's Energy Imbalance is now higher than ever in the known history of our planet and very few know or care.

It takes a while before the pan boils over, but it's coming.

Rising Air-Conditioning Use Intensifies Global Warming - Nature Communications This study shows that rising incomes and hotter climates are driving a boom in air conditioning use, which adds to global warming. This highlights the need for clean, efficient and equitable cooling s...

Air conditioning is both an adaptive response to heat stress and a contributor to radiative forcing. As warming drives higher cooling demand, the AC-associated emissions amplify warming in return.

Dozens of FBI records apparently missing from Epstein files, including Trump accuser interviews | CNN Three interviews related to a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago appear to be among the missing files in the DOJ release.

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

3️⃣Die Wärmewende soll jetzt auch auf EU-Ebene ausgebremst werden. Konkret heißt das: Die Koalition will sich in Brüssel für die Verzögerung & Aushöhlung der Gebäudeeffizienzrichtlinie (EPBD) einsetzen. Klar, die Wärmewende nur in Deutschland zu verschleppen, reicht ja nicht aus!

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting.

She had some things she needed to get off her chest

„Warum bezuschussen wir immer noch jeden Liter Diesel mit 18 Cent, statt Strom für Wärmepumpen und E‑Autos günstiger zu machen? Für Lesch sind E-Autos und Wärmepumpen keine grünen Träume, sondern das Effizienteste, was die Physik aktuell bietet.

Street transformation from car space to street willed with people including kids

It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today.

Streets for people.

Oktopusse sind evolutionär gesehen extrem weit von uns entfernt - aber sie können individuelle Menschen voneinander unterscheiden, unabhängig von ihrer Kleidung, und merken sich, wer in der Vergangenheit nett zu ihnen war und wer nicht.
