In Canada the Liberal Fossil Fuel party is polling at 41.8% and the Conservative Fossil Fuel party is polling at 37.9%

That means roughly 80% of Canadians want to vote for extreme forest fires to burn their entire country down

What was the survey that 80% of Canadians care about the climate again?

A second opportunity to examine the cloud reduction effects from shipping fuel pollution measures has revealed that the 80% cut in sulphur emissions reduces cloud droplet formation by 67%.

This is a big deal. The reduction in sulphur emissions from ships means clouds aren’t as reflective and persistent, so the warming from greenhouse gases is not offset as much. So, while this change is very good for air quality, it’s very bad for almost everything else. #climate

Indeed.

And given that the entire Russian economy is imploding and that the overthrow of the Russian regime is fairly likely within the next 90 days with a total collapse of Russia and disintegration - the odds of Russian cavemen figuring out how to operate trains during the coming decades are zero

FINLAND IS NOT RE-GAUGING ITS RAILWAYS

Just because an urbanist influencer has posted a 6 months old piece (that was anyway inaccurate) about it does not mean it is happening!

Finland *might* lay some additional standard gauge track from Sweden to Oulu

Read this paper, ignored by the stubborn scientists who made the numbers for that graphic, to understand why the numbers in that graphic are so terribly and badly wrong.

Underestimating how bad our current climate trajectory is, is extremely dangerous for everyone.

U.N. climate talks fizzle out 10 years after Paris accord Nearly 200 countries at the U.N. climate summit reached a deal that didn’t include a road map to curtail use of fossil fuels, the main driver of climate change.

It is very hard to overstate the evil of the fossil fuel industry.

When people finally do figure it out, it may be too late to undo the damage.

At present the issue is how to reinforce existing infrastructure or fortify shoreline, or relocate, Indigenous villages. In future decades major coastal cities around the world will face the same dilemma. Metres of sea-level rise are committed, even if we succeed in reaching net zero.

“One implication of the increased growth rate of GHG forcing in the last 15 years is that the goal to keep global warming under 2°C is now implausible.”— @drjamesehansen.bsky.social

2°C climate chaos will be unlike anything we have experienced until now.

Adaptation conversations now beyond urgent

Climate change: an expensive myth or a question of survival? Calls to end decarbonisation efforts threaten to undermine a thriving economic sector and our chance of a safer planet

What’s more expensive: investing in renewables, or dealing with the £38 trillion annual cost of unchecked climate damage?

Adapt, our buildings are not made for this.

A line graph shows the time series of Arctic mean surface temperature anomalies for each October from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in October 2025 was 3.78°C for this region. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1910-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

A line graph shows the time series of Antarctic mean surface temperature anomalies for each October from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in October 2025 was 1.43°C for this region. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1910-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.

Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.

So we are above RCP8.5 Scenario due to spike in Radiative Forcing...

Notice how thin and tiny our atmosphere is?

8 million turkeys will be thrown in the trash this Thanksgiving We don’t have to accept all that death and waste for a dry, flavorless bird no one likes.

Turkeys are flavorless and dry, and they want to live. This Thanksgiving, @mbolotnikova.bsky.social encourages you to challenge the status quo and embrace plant-based alternatives, have conversations about ethical food choices, and create more sustainable and compassionate traditions.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

COP-tastrophe: How the COP of Implementation, Truth, Forests, and Indigenous Peoples Failed on All Counts COP30 began full of promise but ended as yet another reminder that the mechanism for global climate governance is broken.

Don’t hold gender hostage – champions and blockers at COP30 There has been pushback on language around gender equality at COP30. Where is this appearing and why?

"Argentina and Paraguay added a footnote defining gender as ‘male and female sexes’, after which Iran and the Holy See requested footnotes interpreting gender as biological sex, citing national laws and family values"

YouTube video by Just Have a Think How an African energy revolution could save ALL of us.

Excellent new video from Youtube channel “Just Have a Think” explaining how African nations are trying to catch up with Pakistan to import record levels of Chinese solar PV and batteries.

Excellent video. Worth watching:

FDR - the first U.S. Socialist President who also questioned the logic of billionaire Abundance.

Made me laugh

It’s no accident the ladder climbers & fake smart careerist class occupying our government, mass media, boardrooms etc aren’t capable of understanding/responding to what Hansen is theorizing here.

A proper response would change the world within weeks. And that is the last thing big capital wants.

Can we send Zohran to the next UN Climate Conference?
