This @royalsociety.org report has not received nearly the attention it deserves.

Key finding: "most current approaches to economic assessments of impacts of #climate change do not reflect the severity of consequences that are suggested by the latest physical climate science & evidence on impacts" 😬

‘Derailment’ warning as world faces threats to its ability to act on climate change The worsening consequences of the climate crisis could fatally “derail” climate action, researchers have warned. With global warming breaching 1.5°C – and Earth system tipping points, such as the wide...

“The prevailing assumption is that the world has closed off pathways above 3°C warming – but in fact we could be derailed by vicious cycles in societies & nature. Catastrophic environmental change is still very much on the table“ - @jamesgdyke.info Assistant Director of @gsiexeter.bsky.social

Vietnam city sets national record with 1.7 m rain in 24 hours The central Vietnamese city of Hue recorded more than a metre of rain in a 24-hour period, smashing a national record set over two decades ago, the environment ministry said Tuesday.

Vietnam: Five and a half feet of rain in a day. Smashes previous 24 hour record by two and a half feet.

You don't need to be a climate scientist to understand this. Everyone should read it.

It's called #sportswashing: companies sponsor teams to portray themselves as good corporate actors, hoping we will form the same bond with their brand that they have with their teams. (In your dreams, Big Oil. 😒 )

While millions of us tune into the #WorldSeries, did you know the teams we cheer for are being sponsored by big polluters?! 🤢

Record Vietnam rains kill four and flood 100,000 homes Flooding triggered by record heavy rains in central Vietnam this week killed at least four people and inundated more than 100,000 homes, the environment ministry said on Wednesday.

Whilst headlines quite rightly cover the devastation from Hurricane Melissa, a storm made more deadly through climate change, spare a thought for Vietnam where 1.7 meters (yes 5’7”) of rain fell in 24 hours.

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS

THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

So like I hear you but apparently we need 10,000 more data centres instead

Bill Gates Says Climate Change ‘Will Not Lead to Humanity’s Demise’

The #ClimateCrisis makes every storm event more likely, and worse.

More likely, and worse.

It’s fuelling EVERY storm.

‘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

This is the news I've dreaded all my life, and it's here: Humanity has failed to avoid dangerous climate change.

We have now entered the overshoot era.

Our new goal is to prevent as many irreversible tipping points from taking hold as we can.

Jamaica is responsible for less than 0.05% of global CO2 pollution.

That it's about to be destroyed by a monster hurricane is climate injustice — aka climate colonialism, aka global capitalism — in action.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Hurricane Melissa live: Jamaicans take shelter as slow-moving category 5 storm increases in intensity Hurricane expected to make landfall on the island by Tuesday morning is strongest since records began in 1850s

"AI-generated videos have been clogging social media feeds as Hurricane Melissa heads towards Jamaica, diverting attention from critical safety information about the storm...most bearing watermarks for OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora." Explain to me, again, why this is worth destroying our planet?

‘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...

Let’s assume for a moment that the centrist pundits are correct and climate change does not matter (and cannot be made to matter) to voters.

It yet remains one of the quintessential social problems that a state must address.

What then is the centrist pundit’s belief on how to do so?

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Those who do learn from history are doomed to have people tell them they’re overreacting
