“Human degradation of the Amazon – by land clearance, fire, logging and mining – is pushing that system towards a tipping point, after which drier conditions would be expected to cause an abrupt “regime shift” in the rainforest” https://t.co/hobRhb00d3

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

“No power at all.” That’s the candid answer from UN head @antonioguterres on what power he really has. “No power & there’s no money. What we have is a voice… I have the obligation to make it loud… We have a level of division among superpowers that has no precedent since WWII.”

��What the f*ck😳

Sometimes I can't help myself and swear.

Two months ago, I thought I'd do something ridiculous and plot the Super El Niño trend of 2015 forward for Sea Surface Temperatures, see dashed lines in red (2023) and green (2024).

I turns out that we are largely running above that..

🌊🌡️📈

The effect of El Niño on the tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures is clearly visible.
Also see the North Pacific and Atlantic:

The anomaly is running off the chart again.

All this extreme ocean surface heat is about to turn into a year of shocking extreme atmospheric temperatures and (even) more extreme weather.

We might be getting a first taste of the Termination Shock from terminating part of our cooling sulphur pollution, while still increasing greenhouse gases.

2 things I believe:

1. Processed foods are at the root of obesity and disease.

2. This piece is fucking nuts.

8 billion humans and 33 billion chickens. Vast horde of domestic poultry is a key link in chain of cause and effect of the biggest ever Bird Flu outbreak causing mass deaths of wild birds across world. Nightmare? If H5N1 mutates and humans infect humans… https://t.co/Z0ocgGYyVg

This is wild.

@hbottemiller asked GPT-4 to write speeches for and against stricter work requirements for SNAP.

Against them? No problem.

For them? No, it doesn't advocate for policy.
