Addressing the challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation. Using community knowledge and scientific research to inform policy.

In 2015, the WMO released imagined 2050 weather forecasts—scorching, extreme, alarming.
They were meant as warnings.
Now, in 2025, those forecasts are already here.
The heatwaves have arrived - 25 years early.

The astonishing rise of solar.

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

I think it’s time to face the fact that bad people are literally - LITERALLY - going to wipe out most life on earth, including their own.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

Code Yikes!

Arctic sea-ice extent has been the lowest on record for the day each of the last 8 days. But pretty soon we're going to run into the 2020 anomaly.

No, I don't know what happened.

The #heatwaves are here already.

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

It's not "just summer" when you have temperatures 12°C higher than normal covering France on the 1st day of July. These are hazardous heat waves becoming more frequent and driven by global warming trends. We weren't supposed to see these repeating heatwaves for decades.

That line..

[Nicolas Fulghum @nicolasfulghum]

Wouldn't it be nice to have free, open electricity data for every country in the world?

It's here...up-to-date...free...for everyone...

"Each day Humble supplies enough energy to melt 7 million tons of glacier!” boasts the headline from a 1962 double-page spread in Life magazine for Humble Oil,"

“Almost 40% of glaciers in existence today are already doomed to melt due to climate-heating emissions from fossil fuels, a study has found. The loss will soar to 75% if global heating reaches the 2.7C rise for which the world is currently on track.” https://t.co/TQmqtJCFeN

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

California is putting solar panels over some of its aqueducts—a solution that can save water while generating clean energy. The first of its kind in the US.

We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

“So my risk assessment has really changed. I am now very concerned that we may push Amoc over this tipping point in the next decades. If you ask me my gut feeling, I would say the risk that we cross the tipping point this century is about 50/50.” https://t.co/Tbk4LM6OE4

Calling univ profs & lecturers! If you're interested in bringing concepts from Doughnut Economics into your teaching, we've launching a treasure trove for you! 7 slide decks, reading lists, videos & activities... Join us & @rethinkecon live on 6 Nov, 7-8pm (UK). Please RT! 1/2

[James Murray @James_BG]

It really is hard to get across quite how bad this is. We’re on track for 3C of warming, which could easily result in catastrophic cascading risks to human civilisation. And emissions are still rising. https://t.co/uiTVXW0uhl

On #AMOC @LesleyRiddoch

[SNP Climate and Environment Group @SNPCEG]

On change, or not.

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Carbon capture instead of stopping oil & gas

EVs instead of reducing car dependency

Ocean cleanups instead of stopping plastic production

Planting trees instead of ending deforestation

Ever notice how all the fashionable 'solutions' are all aimed at not changing anything?

#AMOC

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

Unbelievably, there is at least a 40% chance of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) collapsing within 25 years. We could be facing impacts similar to the Younger Dryas period - within the lifetimes of most people alive today. #Climate #Mitigation is Urgent.

"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis."

“We are drowning” says Polish Mayor.
Lower Austria declared a ‘catastrophe zone’.
Much of Romania is ‘under water’
Why haven’t people listened?
And why are they STILL not listening?
