'The climate alarm is blaring, from every direction,' UN climate chief warns
"Around the world, climate-driven disasters are reaching nightmare proportions, as the costs of humanity’s addiction to burning coal, oil and gas keep spiraling upwards"
"What needs to be done is equally clear: leave #coal, #oil and #gas behind faster, scale up renewables, and protect people where the impacts are already hitting hardest"
Simon Stiell, UN’s Climate Chief

‘No one wants to be right about this’: #ClimateChange scientists’ horror & exasperation as predictions play out
"It’s as if the human race has received a terminal medical diagnosis & knows there is a cure, but has consciously decided not to save itself"

Scientists:
Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say
Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware

Was wir jetzt tun, bestimmt Klima und Lebensbedingungen nicht nur für unsere Kinder und Enkel, sondern für viele Generationen.
Es erfordert sehr rasches entschlossenes Handeln, um noch das Schlimmste zu verhindern.
Haben alle Politiker die IPCC-Berichte verstanden? Gelesen?
We (@rahmstorf et al) first established the "cold blob" as a fingerprint of a slowing #AMOC more than a decade ago in this @NatureClimate study:

Global warming is cutting the production of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic, undermining the entire food web and limiting its ability to soak up carbon, a new study reveals. Looks serious….

Really good news. Over the last 15 years the world gained more mangroves than it has lost, thanks to stronger legal protections following the 2004 tsunami which proved their importance in protecting coasts. Also vital for fish and in absorbing carbon.

Something potentially massive may be brewing beneath the Pacific.
This is NOT just surface warming.
New 3D diagnostic analysis based on ARMOR data shows a huge subsurface heat reservoir with anomalies reaching +6°C below the ocean surface.
If powerful WWB (Westerly Wind Burst) events intensify and push that heat upward, the surface response could theoretically explode toward +3°C to +4°C El Niño territory.
That would push the climate system into extremely dangerous territory.
Extreme heat. Crop stress. Rainfall chaos. Floods. Droughts. Global weather disruption.
People keep saying “nature is taking revenge.”
Reality is more alarming:
This is atmosphere-ocean physics operating at full power.
The Pacific’s internal heat engine is loading energy beneath the surface.
And if that energy vents upward… the world could be looking at a monster hybrid Super El Niño.
Monitoring continues.
Predicting the future of energy is hard, and reality has a way of moving in directions we don't anticipate. @AndrewDessler has a new piece over at The Climate Brink on how energy systems have evolved in the US compared to expectations (link below)

🚨BREAKING: Lawrence O'Donnell looked America in the eye tonight and said on live TV what many are thinking about Donald Trump's profane, perverse, filthy outburst on Easter Sunday to commit war crimes.
"The 25th Amendment was written for yesterday at 8:03am."
BREAKING : Trump has accepted his defeat once again and bowed down to 🇮🇷 Iran
🇺🇸 Trump at 9:00 –– "Tonight we will finish the Iranians civilization and hinted at Nuke in war"
*Exactly after 2 hrs*
🇺🇸 Trump at 11:00 –– 😂 "If negotiations move forward today and there is something concrete, the deadline could change.
This is probably the 177th time he made a U-turn. No? 😭😭
Reporter: Deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure violate the Geneva conventions and international law.
Trump: Who are you with?
Reporter: I'm with the New York Times
Trump: Failing New York Times. Circulation is way down.
Reporter: Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to war crimes?
Trump: No, not at all. These are disturbed people. Quiet. You no longer have credibility. You’re fake.
