1.5C is dead.

2024 will be the hottest year in at least 125,000 years.

And a psychopathic climate denier is leading the most powerful country on Earth.

What a time to be alive (if not for very long).

@pathforward327 @stengel Impeachment is a political process. At most it can remove a public official from office. Impeachment does not replace criminal or civil persecution, which are legal (and not political) processes.

“The climate always changes”… that’s true. Over tens of thousands of years Earth’s tilt changes a bit and so does Earth’s orbit around the sun… sometimes closer to a circle, sometimes an ellipse. This changes the amount of sunlight Earth receives and thus Earth’s avg temp 🧵 1/

@ItchyNipz @EliotJacobson @jakethesnail Once the oscillation starts to weaken, the shift tends to happen fast (unless there is a repeated dip or peak). What varies is the total duration of the event. The El Niño that is now ending was not particularly strong nor long and there is nothing unprecedented about it.

@idummkopp @highbrow_nobrow Actually, several medieval astronomers who were forecasting and explaining eclipses were monks and theologians. In many cases, the church was not the main responsible for hindering scientific development… for example, the major opposers of heliocentrism were other scientists…

@highbrow_nobrow She has the understanding of a regular Maga acolyte. In medieval and earlier times, several aspects of astronomy were quite well understood. For example, the forecast of lunar and solar eclipses was published in almanacs, and seas and lands were cartographed using astrolabes.

@Anduril100 @NOAAClimate @KnutQvigstad You cannot ignore the time frame. Change is not instantaneous. In the past, CO2 and temperature levels gradually changed over 100+ thousand years. But our species managed to artificially increase CO2 to record levels in ~100 years. The correlation will impact our descendants.

@Unionbuster @RogerHallamCS21 It is news because we are in early Spring, not in Summer, and temperatures are extremely higher than seasonal normals. Tomorrow the average anomaly will be +10C in Europe. In parts of Central Europe, the anomaly will very likely be above +20C which is unprecedented.

@AchilleDepla @LeonSimons8 The high waves and strong currents are normal and expected due to the winds blowing over that region of the Atlantic. What is unusual is the extreme wind speeds and the large size of the affected region. The winds in the jet stream are at record levels.

[AC 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @artus_ac]

@realChasDarwin @WeatherProf That is why there are multiple corridors to fly over the Atlantic. Alternatively, it is sometimes possible to fly at a cruise altitude lower than the jet stream. You can easily check how this works if you look at a wind chart and at the Atlantic flightpaths on a flight tracker.

[AC 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @artus_ac]

@Cnewcity @WeatherProf @LimWeather There is turbulence (which can strong) in the vicinity of the jet stream and while entering and exiting its core, which is often a stable region of fast winds. So, while the airplane keeps an altitude and heading within the stream’s core, the flight will be relatively smooth.

@oxbits @1goodtern Because people with long covid are NOT active carriers of the virus. Long covid is the result of a covid infection that damaged parts of the neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular systems which then continue to deteriorate over time. This can happen to anyone today.

[AC 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @artus_ac]

@neembeam @ibrake4ants @1goodtern Maybe you should understand that the virus is not active anymore and there is zero risk of infection. These people are not covid carriers. What you are seeing is the long term (and usually irreversible) damage caused by a covid infection. This can happen to anyone today.

[AC 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @artus_ac]

@ibrake4ants @1goodtern People with long covid are NOT active carriers of the virus. There is no risk of contagion. The covid infection damaged parts of the neurological, respiratory, cardiovascular systems which continue to deteriorate over time. In many cases, the body is unable to recover.

Brilliant & tragic. Expressing the despair of witnessing collapse in a way that is soul-crushingly beautiful.

Give this one a like and share.

I just watched the roughly 45-minute footage of October 7th at a private screening in NYC. Here are my immediate thoughts minutes after watching it. 🧵

I would estimate that over 99.9% of scientists who actually study climate systems agree that it's a lot cheaper and easier to stop burning fossil fuels than to remove carbon dioxide.

So why is @skdh so wrong?

@GTA6Intel @RockstarGames This cinematic trailer is actually disappointing for a record budget AAA game. The trailers for GTA V over a decade ago were much more polished and visually appealing. And the graphics look subpar. Cinematic trailers today look much better than this.
