🚨 Carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels set a new monthly record high in May 2025 - 430.51 ppm (seasonal maximum) This is the second largest May-May increase in this dataset (3.6 ppm higher than 2024). This is not good... 🫣 Data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

BREAKING: Over 30 medical organisations have pledged to boycott advertising and public relations agencies that work with the fossil fuel industry. “Just like health leaders once stood up to Big Tobacco and its advertising, it’s time to stand up to Big Oil.” www.desmog.com/2025/05/22/h...

I love that over a hundred climate activists - oh no excuse me, Environmental and Natural Resource Economists! - are objecting to the "quiet cancellation of this important leadership initiative & critical public resource," calling it "as shortsighted as it is unlawful." Read more: support-nca.org

The extremely dry winter and spring has caused a big wild fire to break out on marsh lands full of peat fields in South West Sweden outside the city of Halmstad between Göteborg / Gothenburg and Malmö. The climate changes plays havoc with our weather. 🔥🇸🇪🔥🥺 www.svt.se/nyheter/loka...

Holy shit. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say they’re trying to kill us all. “The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists”

We've reached 1.5°C global warming. With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7°C warming. A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Sometimes it is only one side of the #Arctic that experiences anomalously low conditions during winter, but this year we are seeing the sea ice edge on both the Atlantic & Pacific sectors at very low levels for this time of year. This is contributing to the historic record low for early February.

A lot of folks asked why I through this January's record global temperatures were so unexpected. I think this graph shows it pretty clearly: pretty much every other January with La Nina conditions has been a cooler than the surrounding years.

Agency after agency is being ransacked by 20-something Muskovites at DOGE. Trump Admin threatens to lay off 1/4 to 1/2 of employees at the National Science Foundation. Cutting staff at the $10b/year grantmaking agency would “gut the intellectual center of U.S. leadership in science and technology."

I have a new analysis over at The Climate Brink exploring how rates of warming have changed over the past century. Post-1970, GHGs (CO2, CH4, etc.) would have led to just under 0.2C per decade, but falling aerosols (SO2) have increased that rate to 0.25C. www.theclimatebrink....

While I am catching you up, here's a piece that came out last month, thinking through how & why climate denial is tied up with techno-fideism. Thanks to @royscranton.bsky.social for inspiration. academic.oup.com/lril/advance...

One more (came out last August). Our claim: the definitive account of what scientists had to say about climate change in the late 1960s, in the run-up to the Clean Air Act, shows that Congress definitely knew that CO2 was an air pollutant. www.ecologylawquarterly.org/print/climat...

New paper just dropped: “Policy makers and wider society should be aware that the rate of global warming over recent decades is a poor guide to the faster change that is likely over the decades to come, underscoring the urgency of deep reductions in fossil-fuel burning.”

larger electric vehicles require much more embodied carbon (+ water) to manufacture, and the amount of energy needed to power them is also greater (the production of that energy also has associated embodied carbon) smaller cars = less consumption as with housing - the sufficiency principle applies

Another sign that things can just keep getting worse. Alberta is now opening the eastern Rockies to coal mining, including strip mining.

“Delivering Ireland’s climate targets is not simply about more renewables, more EVs and more infrastructure. It also requires doing less; less consumption, less demand and less expansion of some sectors.” Less is MORE when it comes to climate change mitigation! www.irishtimes.com/opinion/edit...
