⚠️ „Die Welt steht vor'm Burnout“
„Nach 16 Jahren Schläfrigkeit wird es langsam Zeit, dass dieses Land wieder in Bewegung gerät und anstatt diese Generation zu verurteilen und zu kriminalisieren, sollte die Politik in die Gänge kommen.“

Our favorite planet has now seen 20 days in a row breaking the modern-day record high-temperature of 16.924°C (62.46°F) set on July 24, 2022.
This global heatwave is likely the hottest 20-day stretch in the last 100,000+ years.
Unfortunately our fears are now real.

The crazy Sea Surface Temperatures of the North Atlantic Ocean quire an extended y-axis yet again.
It's getting harder and harder to find words to describe how crazy this really is.
Ich stehe auch hinter dem Ziel, die nettonull Löwen zu erreichen. Niemanden ist aber geholfen, wenn nun überstürzt gehandelt wird und wir so die Menschen verlieren. Von Panik-Mache und blinder Anti-Ideologie halte ich nichts, viel mehr sehe ich das Potential kluger Innovationen.
What's going on with Antarctic Sea Ice is even more extreme than the recent spike in North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures, this ice deficit is fully 4.1 SD's below the very recent 1991-2023 mean.
Note: this is an anomaly chart -- it is not a chart of current sea ice extent.
It hit 49C (120F) in Iran. Parts of India are 46C (115F). The Arabian Sea is practically boiling. This is all happening at just 1.3 degrees of warming.
How many more extreme weather events before we finally do we need to do to address this crisis?
No more delays. #ActOnClimate
After the chaos of the last 3 days (all because of one little graphic), this feels like a calm enough moment to say that the f&%kery going on in the oceans is Global and not just is the North Atlantic.
The North Atlantic anomaly is 3.55σ.
The Global ocean anomaly is 4.30σ.
Everything is happening.
While climate scientists have been talking about North Atlantic sea surface temperatures these last few days, what's going on with sea ice in Antarctica is even more extreme, nearly 2.4 million km² below the 1991-2020 mean, with a big jump down today.
Another day, another record for the North Atlantic. Everything is happening so fast, it's hard to get a sense of the enormity of these anomalies, let alone their consequences.
Gestern habe ich die vollendetste Fahrradstadt der Welt besucht. Utrecht. Von 360.000 Einwohnern fahren hier täglich 125.000 Menschen mit dem Rad. Viel hatte ich gelesen, als ich endlich dort ankam, war ich sprachlos. Lasst mich euch mitnehmen, in eine unglaubliche Stadt (1/10).
