"Everything in connection with something else" The most fundamental insight of Earth System Science is the application of the lens of complex system analysis to our planet. Bear this in mind, for the following quick thread of recent developments in our understanding of the Earth's #climate...

Using data through Feb. 23, 2025 and assuming warming is accelerating, the planet is now set to cross the 1.5°C line in mid-2026.

Freunde, was auch heute geschehe: weiterkämpfen. Konkret werden, Verantwortungen übernehmen, wenn Kapazitäten da sind. Alle Posten, die Demokraten innehalten, können erst mal nicht von Faschos bekleidet werden. Politische Arbeit ist Basisarbeit, Gespräche und Aktivsein, Resignation hilft nicht.

In politisch schwierigen Zeiten ist es umso wichtiger, Hoffnung und Handlungsfähigkeit nicht zu verlieren. Die Ergebnisse des heutigen Abends können daher umso mehr Anschub für gemeinsames Engagement sein. Im Kleinen. Auch in schwierigen Zeiten ist gutes Leben möglich.

And, for the record, global sea-ice extent, already at an all-time low for the date, is going the wrong way.

The second rule of Fight Club is "you do not talk about Fight Club."

A constant reminder that even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as they did during the pandemic lockdown from now to 2030, we still wouldn't meet our emission target to keep global warming below 1.5°C.

A closer look at the extent of sea ice globally that just set a new all-time record minimum, which is due to unusually low sea ice conditions in both the #Arctic & #Antarctic right now. Data from nsidc.org/data/seaice_... 🧪⚒️🥼❄️

Two studies published yesterday in Nature Climate Change find that Earth has effectively already warmed 1.5°C. Yes, this seems to be happening silently, but to be clear: over 1.5C of heating some places become uninhabitable and the risk of tipping points rises enormously. 1/n

We might yearn for paradise, temporal or spiritual. But to our descendents our habitable planet will look like an almost unimaginable paradise. No tech fantasy, no space station or controlled environment will ever compare. Fight for what we have. This is our heaven, and there can be no other.

What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic. It affects you. www.intellinews.com/arctic-set-t...

The Greenland ice sheet is falling apart – new study theconversation.com/the-greenlan...

Es wird immer krasser. Und Ihr lasst Euch mit Migration für dumm verkaufen. Alles ist bekannt. “Our study also suggests that the ocean’s ability to sequester heat is weakening.” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In a new article in Reviews of Geophysics, L.G.Bennetts and colleagues explore the complex dynamics of the Southern Ocean, linking the smallest scales of ocean mixing to the global circulation and climate doi.org/10.1029/2022... @agu.org @soosocean.bsky.social #AGUPubs

The neoliberal dream of fossil fuel billionaire Charles Koch was always the destruction of US democracy and the elimination of government (except for its repressive organs police, courts, prisons, military ofc), and now he has won. What now? A 🧵. 1/ t.co/FKxxmLyfce

Temperatures at the North Pole 20°C above average, crossing the threshold for ice to melt. The Arctic has warmed almost four times quicker than the global average since 1979, and extreme heat has become both hotter and more frequent. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Destroying NOAA would cause unquantifiable damage not only to the U.S. but also to anyone around the world relying on their data and models. Tragic.

Scientists, weather forecasters, disaster agencies, around the world work with NOAA, who thanks to geography monitor a ocean and atmosphere over a huge chunk of the earth. The Atlantic literally sees European and Caribbean weather coming. We can't put a US-size hole in global cooperation.

Temperatures at north pole 20C above average and beyond ice melting point

Breaking News! Code Yikes! January, 2025, finished as the hottest January on record since 1940 and likely the hottest January in the last 120,000 years, at 1.745°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline.

Anyone know of any efforts to archive GOES satellite data outside the US, now that NOAA's funding is under threat? #GOES #NOAA #Data #DataRescue #EarthObservation

Below is the latest monthly global surface temperature anomaly graphic, with a quadratic trendline (in other words, assuming accelerating warming). What's new? This updated trendline shows us passing 1.5°C later this year and 2.0°C in 2036.

Das gilt genauso für Deutschland. Die CDU will morgen den Weg frei machen für eine Neuauflage von 1933. Wer auch immer das hier lesen sollte, viele werden in der kommenden Zeit den von rechts als schwach, nicht integrierbar oder "undeutsch" markierten Gruppen in den Rücken fallen. DU wirst es nicht.

Some people on this and other social media platforms have been claiming that something dramatic is about to happen at Thwaites Glacier, and implying that this will result of an abrupt rise is sea level within a few years. So what's really going on? 🧵🧪
