The disastrous loss of the Gulf Stream - which would give U.K. the climate of Labrador and blight the whole world - is not inevitable. New research shows that the tipping point could be averted if emissions come down.

As you experience this heat wave, please remember that we are on track to double our current amount of global heating in our children’s lifetimes, and the impacts of that warming are non-linear.

This is what’s going to happen if we don’t phase out fossil fuels👇

"... plankton abundance is declining across vast swathes of the North East Atlantic—a region covering the Atlantic Ocean from Portugal to Norway, and the entirety of the North Sea."

Wir haben das stabile Klima des Holozäns (der letzten 10.000 Jahre) längst hinter uns gelassen. Ich forsche seit den 1990er Jahren zum Paläoklima.
Ich kann nur dringend empfehlen, jetzt eine Notbremsung bei der fossilen Energienutzung zu machen!
Für unsere Kinder. Bitte.

HEAT PLUS DROUGHT IN EUROPE MEANS FOOD PRODUCTION DISASTER
Amost all of Europe is being affected by severe heat and drought. Another heat wave is on the way. This will last all summer, getting worse. Crops and livestock will perish. Stop subsidizing heat & drought driving fossil fuels!!

Amoc collapse could change Europe’s climate 10x faster than expected. We aren’t ready.

“We already know the AMOC plays a critical role in regulating climate and sustaining marine ecosystems, and there is growing evidence that it may be weakening."
Uncertainty around its future is why long-term monitoring is more vital than ever.

In the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland and Iceland, a large patch of water is doing something very strange. While the rest of the ocean heats up, it’s been getting colder. A new study says it has the answer to this mystery — and it’s an ominous sign the world is hurtling toward one of the most alarming climate tipping points. https://t.co/Bs2Ri7yEe8

"more than 1,000 harbour porpoises & common dolphins killed annually, 10,000 seabirds & 500 seals, over 1,000 endangered Atlantic salmon & 120 tonnes of protected sharks, skates and rays are caught as bycatch by commercial fishing vessel every year"

‘Severe’ stress on oceans as rate of sea level rise doubles in 10 years
The main drivers affecting the marine environment include human population growth and demographic changes
Global population increased from 7.7 billion in 2017 to 8.2 billion by late 2024.

For thirty years of my career studying this, I considered the #AMOC tipping risk a high impact but low probability risk for the future of humanity.
Recently I've changed my mind.
Here I explain why. ⬇️

Climate change is making a catastrophic collapse in food supplies through simultaneous failures in the world’s breadbaskets more likely than not, a new study concludes. Yet political leaders slumber on….

Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf: "we will probably pass the point of no return for an AMOC shutdown in the next 10, 20 years or so"

El Nino update. Godzilla is coming.

Most of the world will see top quartile temperatures over Jul/Aug/Sep, which is peak vegetative growth season globally for grains, half the world oilseeds and also for sugar and rice in Asia. That means more evapotranspiration and stress on crops.

India and South-East Asia will also likely see their weakeast monsoon rains in decades.

This is happening while there's a shortage of fertilizers.

[Matthew Gross @HurricaneAddict]

I really don't think enough people fully comprehend the worlds that are about to collide here.

You already have people in geopolitical circles warning about the threat of famine based on surging prices / availability of fertilizer components, and you also have long-term weather modeling all converging on a worst case scenario for a building El Nino event, which will peak near the end of the year. These are two slow moving but entirely predictable disasters that when coupled together will each make the other orders of magnitude worse. (This will take months to fully unfold, but at this point, the die is cast.)

There's no event in our history books that combines the current global population with the impending fertilizer shortage and the strength of the El Nino that's coming. We are about to witness an unprecedented event that will push crops around the globe to their limit.

"Globally, we’ve lost over 50% of the phytoplankton biomass since the 1950s, and we’re continuing to lose it about 1 to 2 percent a year. Never mind nuclear war. This is what’s going to kill us.”

You know the phytoplankton that creates most our our oxygen

AMOC TIPPING POINT TRIGGER COULD BE CLOSE
Sudden Huge Expansion of North Atlantic Cold Blob
Recent research finds the cold blob is caused by the slowing AMOC. We could be triggering AMOC tipping point – of future collapse. Copernicus Pulse. #AMOC #climatechange #globalwarming

'Because global emissions haven’t yet begun to fall, the most optimistic new pathway would lead to warming peaking at about 1.9°C.'

[Geoffrey Lean @GeoffreyLean]

Disturbing news. Loss of Arctic sea ice has caused an “irreversible” shift in the chemistry of the ocean that is disrupting the foundations of chain of life, a two-decade-long study has concluded. Tipping points are already here…
