The EU’s total forest carbon sink decreased by nearly a third between 2010 and 2020. At the same time, the EU relies on forests to mitigate climate change.

There is no climate cliff.

There is no magic amount of warming beyond which we are all f-ed.

There is only an escalating series of consequences, which we and our descendants must endure.

Climate targets don't avoid pain, they are about choosing a tolerable level of pain.

Today @OECD releases🆕report calling on governments to take urgent action against the risks of #climate #tippingpoints!

The latest research shows these self-reinforcing, severe & irreversible changes could occur far sooner & at lower levels of warming.

Message from #COP27 to vulnerable nations: sorry I flooded your house. I will give you half the repairs cost. But I’m gonna flood it again tomorrow. @GeorgeMonbiot @Revkin @WWFclimatebiz

[Dr. Robert Rohde @RARohde]

The current global capacity for carbon dioxide removal from the air is ~8,000 tonnes/year.

Coincidentally, ~8,000 tonnes/year is also estimated for the personal carbon dioxide emissions of the average billionaire.

The world has enough carbon dioxide removal for ~1 billionaire.

I'm devastated. Jim was an inspiration to me for my entire career. His influence is huge and profound. He'll be remembered for his warm, fun-loving personality, truly innovative thinking, and bringing people together. Rest in Gaia, Jim, you will be missed

For decades, the fossil fuel industry has invested in pseudo-science & public relations, with a false narrative to minimize their responsibility for climate change & undermine ambitious climate policies.

They exploited the same scandalous tactics as Big Tobacco decades before.

[Prof Richard Betts @richardabetts]

@RobertDowneyJr @GovKathyHochul Please note that in the IPCC report released last week, we concluded that some CDR methods can have unintended damaging impacts - not a magic bullet!

CDR may play some role, but NOT a substitute for urgently reducing emissions from fossil fuel burning

@KA_Nicholas @GlobalEcoGuy @Peters_Glen @leahstokes @efesce @Fisher_DanaR @ClimateView @WRIClimate @climateinteract @ViableCities No you're probably right but with a joint effort between us municipalities, the @ViableCities office and the academia it should certainly be doable!

[Magnus Lund @LundMagnus]

@KA_Nicholas @GlobalEcoGuy @Peters_Glen @leahstokes @efesce @Fisher_DanaR @ClimateView @WRIClimate @climateinteract In a Swedish perspective this type of work is carried out as a part of the strategic innovation program @ViableCities, establishing climate contracts among various local actors, cities/municipalities and the national level.

Please, please share this piece widely. It has the potential to reach deep into the mainstream and raise public urgency on climate breakdown. It is already "most shared" across the Guardian. Push this moment

Mycket bra och sakliga svar av Gustaf Hugelius i slutet av dagens Aktuellt, angående den globala uppvärmningens påverkan på permafrosten och de konsekvenser som följer. Vetenskapen är tydlig - våra utsläpp måste omgående börja minska kraftigt!
