Nature play a key role in tackling the triple planetary crises of pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss.
Investing in nature-based solutions means investing in humanity‘s future. https://t.co/ro9hbaCU3O
Latest observations of global temperature change shown as a 'climate spiral' using monthly averages from January 1850 to June 2023.
Uses @metoffice HadCRUT5 dataset, representing change relative to the 1850-1900 'pre-industrial' era.
There are signs from all over the world that oceans are coming to the end of their capacity to soften the impact of industrial consumer societies. This was anticipated, but not by those climatologists who preferred models showing smoother changes.
Climate change: how bad could the future be if we do nothing?
I developed this table of impacts for my book 📕 ‘Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction’ based on the @IPCC_CH 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 reports
Beyond 1.5°C #ClimateChange impacts gets worse and worse
Una serie de anomalías muy locas se están dando a la vez en los océanos y tienen a una parte de la comunidad científica (la que al menos se atreve a mirar al problema y comentarlo) muy, pero que muy preocupada.
Hagamos un pequeño repaso de lo que se sabe hasta la fecha. 🧵
It finally happened, breaking 5 sigma, the same statistical threshold physicists used to prove the existence of the Higgs boson.
At 2,700,000 km² below the 1991-2020 mean, Antarctic sea ice extent was 5.14σ below the mean, roughly a 1-in-7,400,000 chance.
Europe has been warming twice as much as the global average, according to @WMO.
But, in a sign of hope amid the climate crisis, more electricity was generated by wind & solar than by fossil gas in the EU.
We need bold, fast #ClimateAction now.
Global warming will transform agriculture in ways that cannot be fully foreseen. The best defence is for farmers to learn about a wide variety of crops https://t.co/1k8wY0RqW1
