Yes, this week Lead Authors for the @ipcc.bsky.social Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) are meeting in Paris — almost 700 of us across all three working groups!

As IPCC Chair Jim Skea shares, there's even some highest-level climate diplomacy happening beyond the plenary sessions. 👇

We cannot air condition our way out of the heat crisis.

Many cooling methods add planet warming emissions, in-turn increasing cooling demand.

But solutions exist to make cooling more sustainable & affordable: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

When folks ask what I’ve done to reduce my personal carbon footprint, I say ‘I moved from Toronto to Copenhagen’. It may sound glib, but per capita emissions are 3-4 lower. Our carbon footprints are shaped by our legislation.

‘Saudi Arabia’s average temperature rose by 2.2C between 1979 and 2019, almost three times faster than the global rate, and even faster in Riyadh and Mecca.’ 👀

The increasing participation of fossil-fuel lobbyists in recent COP meetings is concerning. Climate solutions should be shaped by those committed to real progress, not by those invested in slowing it down.

Join us on Monday 17th at 10 am uk time for our live streamed COP30 talk on tipping points in the Cryosphere! We’re talking at the Cryosphere Pavilion, Blue Zone.

You’re already in there! 👍

Perhaps ‘cryoverse’ can be quickly defined as the community of folks who like all things frozen!

You are indeed added my icy friend! 🧊👊

You already appear in the Starter Pack list. 🫠

Hey Cryoverse! 👋

If you need any motivation to call for action on the #AmbitionForMeltingIce at #COP30, check out the Glacier Casualty List. It's a global summary of 'critically endangered' & 'disappeared' glaciers and their stories.

It's really happening. 🧊💧

The "FirnMelt" project is now funded for the 2026-2032 period through this ERC Synergy program to study the Greenland Ice Sheet’s reaction to increasing surface melt across its vast firn plateau. 👇

Yes, folks!
Our six-year “FirnMelt" project will be studying the Greenland Ice Sheet’s reaction to increasing surface melt across its vast firn plateau.
Here’s a quick overview.👇

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30 * I am the first Indigenous journalist to exclusively interview António Guterres. How many others will listen? Humanity has failed to limit global heating to 1.5C and must change course immediately, the secretary general of the UN has warned. In his only interview before next month’s Cop30 climate summit, António Guterres acknowledged it is now “inevitable” that humanity will overshoot the target in the Paris climate agreement, with “devastating consequences” for the world. This interview is also published in English, Portuguese and Spanish by Sumaúma. Continue reading...
