This is the strongest storm in Sochi in the last 100 years, according to Russian media, but they don't write about the climate crisis, which is causing such events to occur more frequently.
I watched this video a hundred times now… and it still breaks my heart every time I watch it.
One day this child will grow up to be an adult and he will watch this video and ask: why did the world allow this to happen?
How are we going to answer?
I have noticed that a person’s reaction to soup being thrown at art is very revealing of how in denial they are.
Apart from harming others, no act of climate activism is too extreme to raise the alarm bell for what’s happening NOW to millions - and coming soon to billions of us.
New fields like Jackdaw delay a fast & fair transition away from oil & gas when we could secure our future with renewables.
Will you, @cj_dinenage, stand up to the oil & gas executives that have delayed real action for decades and commit to #StopJackdaw? 🚫🛢️
@Redkitetravell1@Liberat67627787 @CassandrasGhost @EliotJacobson It means higher sea levels and major cities going under, it also means less reflected heat = more intense heatwaves and the ice also stores carbon ans methane which gets released when the ice melts = further accelerating the climate crisis.
It's a bit eye opening how many time I, a climate scientist, have been called a denier in the last 24 hours for having the temerity to say our children are not necessarily consigned to an apocalyptic hellscape of a future.
Doomism is a disease, and a self-fulfilling prophesy.
The odds of at least one of the next 5 years temporarily reaching the #ParisAgreement threshold of 1.5°C have increased to 50:50. In 2015 the chance was zero.
Very likely (93%) that one year from 2022-2026 will be warmest on record: WMO and @metoffice update.

af hverju erum við að meðvirknis-fagna einhverjum 2030 og 2040 loftslagsáformum ríkisstjórnar í landi sem getur gert hlutina miklu betur og miklu hraðar?
Doing our part is the minimum for what's acceptable. Solve 75% of Australia's contribution to the climate problem by at least 2030, the rest by 2035. Genuine national leadership would go beyond this.
@Jon_Gnarr Svo er líka eðlilegt að hræðast hlýnun, sem við á Íslandi höfum áhrif á, og sem hafa hræðilegar afleiðingar annar staðar í heiminum núna. Við erum í miðri loftlagskrísu á heimsvísu og þó við á Íslandi finnum ekki fyrir því dagsdaglega ennþá, þá gerir fólk það annars staðar.
Fyrir nákvæmlega ári var almenningur að fela egypska barnafjölskyldu fyrir stjórnvöldum svo ekki væri hægt að flytja þau úr landi í hættulegar aðstæður.
Fjölskyldan er sem betur fer hólpin, ekki vegna núverandi ríkisstjórnar, heldur þrátt fyrir hana. Munum það.
