"We need a new market model for electricity that really functions", said the President of the European Commission. I disagree. What we need is to end the delusion that some form of electricity market can be good for people & planet. It can't! https://t.co/mJHtfskrZH
"We are writing to express our concern about media coverage of extreme weather..."
Climate scientists have written to media organisations calling out their failure to inform the public of what we're facing.
It's a bit late for "concern" but anyway.
The end of the regime.
"America has never been so dry, so thirsty, yet so committed to fossil fuels"
Robert Hunziker's latest summary on why liberal rationalism is the sickest of jokes.

We are standing at the edge of history. As a businessperson, I never sought revolution, but the sociological truth is clear: we have hit the tipping point. After decades of inaction, the system can no longer reform itself. Capitalism is a dead end; a revolutionary shift is now inevitable.
16 deg C above normal.
At present, there are only two outcomes. First, to maintain a 'highly developed' economy and society capable of rolling out technologies that may lessen the impact of climate collapse. Or the end of humanity's existence.

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:

"The new data illuminated sources that have historically been undercounted, such as wildfires and methane leaks. This methodology indicates that emissions are about 74 gigatons a year, not 59 gigatons, as the old tracker had estimated using UN numbers." https://t.co/ljU4YDr8re
Coordinated disinformation efforts, harassment campaigns, strategic lawsuits, and personal assaults now accompany research in politically contentious fields.
Worth reading if you care about science!

Breaking: our new study just published shows that a stable or strengthening ocean current into the Nordic Seas is not a sign of a stable Atlantic overturning #AMOC. On the contrary, it is a physically expected result of an AMOC weakening.

In a sane world, this would be front page news everywhere.
But it will hardly be covered anywhere.
The North Pacific Ocean surface warmed over twice as much over the past 15 years than it did over the preceding 156 years.
That's an increase in warming rate of >2000%!
The carbon sinks are collapsing, and the carbon budgets are fucked. And unless there is a massive turnaround, we are going extinct. But as I hope I have explained, that’s not the real story.
“The EU and Germany can set their political goals but … what we have experienced since 2018 is that forests are strongly affected by drought. It is a significant dieback. We have huge carbon stocks that are dying and which no longer contribute to a carbon sink,” says Prof Matthias Dieter, head of the Thünen Institute of Forestry.

We are living through the most dangerous period in human history, yet the public conversation about climate breakdown remains stuck in liberal euphemism, self-censorship, and the relentless softening of truth.

"We need to free the political prisoners"
A protestor becomes emotional as she's arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign and talks about the six prisoners on the fourth week of their hunger strike.
We are left with no other option but to resist.
