My discussion of the imminent second Trump presidency and its implications for the global climate fight, with references to the Fermi Paradox, Rod Serling, The Planet of the Apes and The Lord of the Rings, via @BulletinAtomic: https://t.co/uoV9Ci25Qt
Latest NASA global temperature data.
Earth has never been hotter since Homo sapiens discovered agriculture in the early Holocene. Likely even since 120,000 years ago.
Fossil coal, oil and gas emissions caused it.
We need to stop making it worse.
Yes, we can if we want to. 🧵
So Trump has gone from claiming that tariffs don’t raise prices to claiming that tariffs on imported food will make groceries cheaper. Coming next: tariffs will make you lose weight without dieting or exercising.
The Warming Stripes have now been turned into a beautiful gennaker sail for a new voyage through the north-west passage of the Arctic Ocean.

So put your shoulder to an oar! Help us power the boat of civilization through the rapids of climate change. All of humanity shares the same boat, and you have the opportunity to make your own unique and valuable contribution to the effort (try the @KHayhoe suggestions!) 25/25
As Susan Hassol (@ClimateComms) says, “This is the fight of our lives, and it’s a multigenerational task. We need what’s been called ‘cathedral thinking.’ That is, the people who started working on that stone foundation, they never saw the thing finished." 20/25
Climate change will inevitably stop being a hazy future concern and will someday turn everyday life upside down. At the risk of causing counterproductive doomism, I offer observations and speculations on how the planetary crisis may play out. 1/25 https://t.co/OG3BnGKVL4
For the umpteenth time: Big Oil are running a massive, multi-billion dollars multi-year mis- and disinformation campaign to slow down decarbonisation and accelerate climate breakdown
Western governments aren’t doing much about it, while Big Oil continue to line up their pockets at the cost of everyone’s future - and don’t give a sh*t

Like Vice President Harris, Governor @Tim_Walz believes that government works to serve us. Not just some of us, but all of us. That’s what makes him an outstanding governor, and that’s what will make him an even better vice president. Michelle and I couldn’t be happier for Tim and Gwen, their family, and our country.
My friend & colleague Ben Santer @sciam on a new play, #Kyoto, about how science won out over #climatedenial in 1997 & why it must do so again now to preserve a livable #climate. Trump is on the wrong side of #history. Vote accordingly. @MichaelEMann https://t.co/ip3jEi5Fp1
Good morning with good news: EVs in Norway were 94.3% of sales in July, record high! BEV were 91.9% & PHEV 2.4%. That compares with 81.7% BEV & 8.1% PHEV in July 2023.
EV were 50% of sales in China in June. When will EV reach 94% in China? By 2030?

After topping out at 104°F yesterday, Las Vegas' streak of consecutive 105°+ days comes to an end at 43.
The previous record was 25 days back in 2017. #nvwx#vegasweather
In an unprecedented move Ethiopia became effectively the first country in the world to ban the import of internal combustion engine vehicles. That ban was not some futuristic target for 2030 or 2035. It was an immediate ban on the import of ICE cars. https://t.co/2c02RFRAHX
