According to the Arctic Report Card, the Arctic tundra has shifted from a carbon sink, which it has been for a millennia, into a carbon dioxide source, while also remaining a methane source.

BREAKING
Former Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Vice President Harris:
“A candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors…
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that.He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger…
I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us."
WHY IS NO ONE TAKING NOTICE OF AMOC - the worst news for UK industry, society and the state in the last 10,000 years? WHY?
It's fucking physics - when/if AMOC goes, it ABSOLUTELY WILL be catastrophic. Resulting in permanent inability to grow food at scale and thus mass migration and/or starvation.
As any conservative social Darwinist knows - a society only survives if it can respond and adapt effectively to existential threats.
"They show how particularly northern Europe from Britain to Scandinavia would suffer devastating impacts, such as a cooling of winter temperatures by between 10°C and 30°C occurring within a century, leading to a completely different climate within a decade or two… We will continue to ignore this risk at our peril.” Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, Head Of Earth System Analysis at Potsdam Institute and Professor of the Oceans at Potsdam University. https://t.co/z9przMlWuO
“A full #AMOC collapse would be a massive, planetary-scale disaster” tells PIK scientist @rahmstorf the @NewYorker. “We really want to prevent this from happening.” Interesting article on the fate of #Greenland & what it means for the rest of the Earth.

Staggering that most people have no idea about this or what it means for their families.
They don’t think about it, let alone talk about it, because our corporate-owned system has got us fixated on every possible inanity while it profits from us blindly devouring our own futures.
This NASA visualization shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North.

Huge contrasts in EUROPE with record cold in Italy (which already broke the national cold record for September last week) and record heat in the NE with temperatures again >28C.
Record heat also in LIBYA with a minimum of 30.7C at Jalo. Maxes will exceed 43/44C next 2 days.
I am running out of words to describe how absurd August 2024 was in Svalbard.
Reaching an average temperature of 11°C in August would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. This is totally bonkers.
EUROPEAN CLIMATIC HISTORY IS BEING REWRITTEN:
Hundreds of records are falling in several countries today, #Slovenia is seeing 35C for the first time in autumn, Germany with dozens of records, and many others.
Wait for a flush of tweets later.
It's historic.
Over 100 tons of dead fish collect in and around the port of Volos in central Greece, following a mass die-off attributed to extreme climate fluctuations, authorities reported Thursday.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables
