Me! Me! Have me on please. I am very prepared to talk about this. Here’s my book:

Today @WilliamJRipple et al released the 2023 report on the terrifying state of our #climate.

It should be read by every policymaker, decisionmaker, and journalist on the planet.

Here is a thread of some key takeaways.

BREAKING: scientists confirm the almost certain near-term collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet with catastrophic sea-level rise set to wreck croplands, island nations, and megacities within decades 🧵

[Craig Welch @CraigAWelch]

A marine heatwave in the Bering Sea collapsed Alaska's $227-million snow crab industry by making the crustaceans work so hard they essentially starved. Ten BILLION crab were killed, one of the largest ocean-heat-related mass die-offs ever recorded.

Yesterday the global sea surface temperature anomaly hit a new record high of 0.702°C above the 1991-2020 mean, beating the previous record anomaly of 0.700°C set on September 9th. This is a 'Code UFB' event.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

JAXA ice extent data was down for a couple of weeks. The f&%kery is back.

The latest update on Antarctic sea-ice extent from shows it's 6.1σ below the 1991-2020 mean. About 1-in-1,700,000,000. That's 'billion.'

And global media attention on the latest sea-ice crash? Crickets.

An excavator digging into Theodul glacier to prepare for early season ski races - shocking images in Zermatt. Is this the future of alpine skiing in the face of melting glaciers? The absolute wrong path, we need to see more climate action from this industry.

Never stops being true

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

September temperatures are now out from our Berkeley Earth dataset. Looking at all the Septembers back to 1850 helps highlight just how anomalous this month has been: https://t.co/lzh5i5m1Gm

[Geoffrey Supran @GeoffreySupran]

Big Oil's new "potentially game-ending" strategy to kill climate lawsuits is to argue it had "no duty to warn" because climate science was "'open and obvious' for decades.”

Sadly, I & @NaomiOreskes predicted this defence in our 2021 analysis of ExxonMobil's climate rhetoric. 1/n

Joe Manchin is almost singularly responsible for throwing 4,500,000 American children into poverty and he wants to lecture you about decorum.

[Matthias Huss @matthias_huss]

Alpine #glaciers continue to fall apart...
Last year (left) we discovered bedrock in a crevasse in the middle of Griesgletscher, indicating very small ice thickness.
Same location yesterday (right).
Amazed again and again how fast the loss is unfolding!
@VAW_glaciology

[Matthias Huss @matthias_huss]

mid-September 2023, 3100 masl: The #glacier ice is melting and melting.
No way to sustain small glaciers as Vadret dal Murtel (Piz Corvatsch), Eastern Switzerland, in such a climate. We can just watch them going and document their demise...

I'm not seeing enough people talking about this horrific move by Republican officials in Alabama to restrict women's freedom of movement. You've got to be kidding me.

For those wondering if this year will see the hottest August on record, here's a little graph to help you anticipate the answer.

After recording the hottest June and hottest month (July), it looks certain we will also have the hottest meteorological summer (Jun. 1 - Aug. 31).
