@bootcanyon@ClimateBen The issue isn't whether Earth was warmer millions of years ago. Modern ecosystems, agriculture, and civilization developed under the stable climate of the last 10k years, with CO₂ around 300 ppm. Life will persist; the challenge is how societies and species cope w. rapid change.
@BjornLomborg False choice.
Fertilizers boosted yields—but degr soils and locked farmers into fossil dependence.
We don’t need hunger or fossil fuels. Regenerative agriculture can deliver resilient yields, healthier soils, fewer inputs.
The real risk is fragile fossil-dependent food system.
@BjornLomborg Relies on a low SCC.
At ~$185/tCO₂, benefits are much higher.
Also ignores ~$7T/year fossil subsidies
Removing those alone shifts the equation

@rahmstorf A 15-min segment on RÚV’s Kastljós highlighted growing concerns about AMOC. Two Icelandic scientists explained the serious risks of a weakening current system for Iceland’s climate, ecosystems and fisheries. https://t.co/mR2A9kNFXv
@frostis@ORGrimsson Science Advances - "To refine this estimate and reduce its uncertainty, we use four different observational constraint methods." #observational https://t.co/RkXw8qxeMW
@frostis@ORGrimsson Saying there is “no evidence” ignores direct measurements and new studies showing the AMOC is already weakening beyond natural variability. Uncertainty is not evidence of safety—when the risk is systemic, prudent societies act before the tipping point, not after. #weakening
The growing alarming scientific evidence which should be at the core of #Iceland’s concerns. Why is our media and leaders almost silent? Could become a monumental disaster within a few decades. Also for the #UK and #NorthernEurope.
@ORGrimsson We at Hellnasker Tink Tank support George Monbiot opinion - "Well, in large part because oligarchic power has championed a model of climate impact that bears little relation to reality" #OligarchicPower https://t.co/Am0rrVtliq
Bedeutet ein stabiler oder zunehmender Ein- und Ausstrom vom Atlantik ins Nordmeer, dass die #AMOC stabil ist, wie manche argumentieren? 🌊
Nein. Das Gegenteil ist richtig:

Ein "wissenschaftliches Alarmsignal": die neue Studie der französischen Kollegen zur Atlantikströmung #AMOC. 🌊
Hört es jemand? 😨

@rahmstorf The #AMOC is showing warning signs.
We can still reduce the risk:
- cut emissions fast
- protect nature
- invest in monitoring
- act before tipping points act on us
