First 28 days of 2025 were 1.75°C above pre-industrial! Even with La Niña cooling the planet down somewhat, this will be the hottest January in history. The Global warming rate might have more than doubled!

There's natural variability in climate, but it's never changed so rapidly and dramatically. We know it's due to humans because when we only look at the natural forcing and ignore human influence, we can't reproduce the observed changes. It's real and it's us. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

In early 2020, a pandemic was spreading. The UK’s PM went on a 10 day half-term holiday during which he was uncontactable and the government went into panic mode, focusing, as Hancock related to the COVID enquiry, on buying enough body bags. 1/8

“Latest science shows 1 metre of sea level rise now inevitable within a century or so & could come as early as 2070”. How on earth do political leaders read this stuff & reconcile it with their continued failure to act? ‘Cognitive dissonance’ doesn’t come close ….

It's getting hotter faster... "2024 was a record 1.60°C over the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline, using Copernicus data. To be more precise, I got 1.598°C, so we'll have to wait and see whether Copernicus settles on 1.59°C or 1.60°C, when they announce on January 10." - Prof Eliot Jacobson

And so it begins… You can’t appease these people. They only respond to decisive limits. Don’t implement them and they’ll take the piss. We are already in a democratic recession. Labour’s inaction won’t just screw them, it’ll screw us all. Our elections will be bought.

We cannot address climate change unless we tackle the full range of polluting sectors — including food and agriculture. After all, our food system emits 22-34% of our greenhouse gas emissions! But how? Here’s a place to start: get the facts right. Go.ted.com/jonathanfoley24

In 2025 our love for this world has to become more ferocious. We cannot bottle up our righteous fury at forces who are knowing setting the world on fire and actually want it to burn because they think they will be safe. Whether in their palaces in the sky or their palaces down here on earth.

Just how catastrophic things will get is still up to us. We're on track to 3C+ of warming this century, which means losing around 50% of species. Preparation, adaptation and preservation should be our aim. Chasing economic growth at this stage is simply suicide. youtu.be/qJwsJhFK98o?...

Dear Climate Friends, A friend of mine is arguing with one of their relatives about climate change, and wants to find a good (but easy to read) reference on the geologic history of CO2 and global temperature changes -- showing that other forces (orbital variations, etc.) play a role. Suggestions?

It is a while since I posted this, but just your annual reminder that Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) will never scale to compensate all emissions (& it would be a ludicrously expensive alternative to reductions). If you like your money, then the razor-sharp focus would be on reducing emissions!
