Time's running out in Antarctica, and we have a choice on our hands: a future that protects this unique and precious environment or one that sees it change forever.
Hats off to @iceybethan.bsky.social for leading the work this is based on (link below)
Our new paper on the future of the Antarctic Peninsula published today, showing how the various systems across the Peninsula will be impacted by different global warming scenarios.

Carlo Buontempo, Director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) @ECMWF emphasises how the global average temperature exceeded 1.5Β°C over a three-year period (2023β2025) β the first time in the #ERA5 record β bringing us closer to the Paris Agreement threshold.

Fixing a hole in a houseβs roof will come with a cost, an expenditure that is likely to have sticker shock.
BUT! Itβs much cheaper than not fixing the hole in the roof.
Truly wild that the Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express & Daily Telegraph all covered false claims that net-zero will "cost" Β£7.6bnΒ β or even Β£9tnΒ βΒ which assumes we could have free gas, free petrol, free petrol cars & free gas power plants if we scrapped net-zero

It's a myth that Net Zero will cost us. What will *really* cost us is climate heating.
Heatwaves cost lives, floods and storms cost millions in property damage, wildfires and droughts cost our environment.
Cost of climate inaction >> cost of action.
Acting now = an investment in the future.
Will 2026 be the hottest year ever?
tl;dr: maybe

Carbon offsets give big polluters a get-out-of-jail-free card on climate change. And although there are *some* high-quality offsets out there, there's a helluva lotta junk.
I made a deep-dive video on the wild west of offsetting. Took me bloody ages so check it out pls π

Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line, which is currently a record low for the current date. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between October and January by looking at the decadal average line positions.
π¨ Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the lowest on record (JAXA data)
β’ about 910,000 kmΒ² below the 2010s mean
β’ about 1,500,000 kmΒ² below the 2000s mean

β’ about 2,660,000 kmΒ² below the 1980s mean

It's extra capacity added, see e.g. carbon brief: www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Doh thanks! More runways at Heathrow would increase capacity, ergo the number of flights, and therefore the emissions

Discussing a subject close to my heart first on the Sky News newspaper review this morning: Heathrow expansion.
It's simple: there is no way we can have a safe, liveable climate and expand London's airport capacity.
Busy media day for me today.
First up: reviewing the papers this morning over on Sky News' breakfast show π°
Next up: watching prehistoric planet - out today on apple TV π₯³
