The atmosphere on a hotter planet can hold more water. Each 1°C increase in surface temperature increases the capacity to hold water vapor by about 7%. 1.5°C anomaly ≈ 11% more water vapor. This graph shows the 12-month running average for the "total column precipitable water." You can see it!

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

We collectively haven’t been taking the plans laid out by Project 2025 seriously enough. They want to destroy NOAA so people won’t know that climate change is happening. It sounds stupid and alarmist if you haven’t been paying attention.

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

I won't lie: after 3 weeks of experiencing almost unimaginably abundant and diverse Costa Rican nature, returning home to the Irish ecological moonscape is a visceral gut punch. But what Costa Rica shows is that it doesn't have to stay like this: nature CAN return. #Rewilding 🌍

Telegraph reports Ed Miliband is off-track on clean energy targets. archive.ph/ETZyX The reason is simple. Big Oil won't invest in renewables because they can't fleece their customers with abundant solar, wind & water. And Gov still gives 84% tax relief for oil & gas investment but not renewables!

1. The UK government’s pursuit of GDP growth at all costs is an assault on our natural wealth, which will impoverish us all. It might be able to massage the headline figures by converting the living world into money, but it does not improve our lives.🧵

Agree with all but the final sentence. I think it should read: Many of us really don’t want to fix it. Why? Because though tech-based solutions, are a prerequisite, they are now insufficient, & need to run alongside profound social change. This is not acceptable to most of us wealthy hi-emitters.
