Your 'moment of doom' for June 27, 2025 ~ If? "If the Amazon hits a tipping point, our calculations show we are going to lose 50-70% of the forest. That would release between 200 and 250bn tonnes of carbon dioxide between 2050 and 2100..."

#ClimateChange June 26, 2025 Here is an interesting map from the Climate Shift Index project. How much more likely is the current heatwave, because of climate change? The colors represent how much more likely an event is to occur. More information here csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif....

Today's Climate Shift Index (CSI) is highlighting just how much climate change has made today's heat wave more likely to occur, especially for the warm nighttime temperatures. Follow along with real-time and forecast CSI global maps from @climatecentral.org at csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

June 21 is Show Your Stripes Day—a time to spark conversation about how our world is warming. This video shows how @noaa.gov temperature data for the U.S. is turned into the iconic stripes visualizations you may see shared today and tomorrow. @edhawkins.org
