🚨There is so much #Climate news that it is often hard to zoom-out & see the bigger picture.
But every now & then you read a report that brings it all together & stops you in your tracks!
'Collision Course' by @djspratt is one such report. Here are its 10 key take aways: 🧵1/n
#Climate policy is on a collision course with physical reality. My article today on 3 degrees of warming and humanity’s future. https://t.co/VpqAxDePyM
In 2024, the facts are clear: COVID far outpaced flu in infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.
COVID also carries the added burden of long COVID, a far more complex, multi-system condition than the long-term effects seen with flu.
COVID is not like the flu. It never was!
These are large numbers but NSW not alone here (eg, https://t.co/7l5Y5PCGuc). It doesn't have to be this way, testing & airborne controls can save many lives & many more illnesses - https://t.co/IYLNW4W6Nf
Thousands of patients caught COVID in NSW hospitals last year and hundreds died, new data shows https://t.co/d1va08qdv6 via @ABCaustralia
Published today: #Climate’s economic impacts will have unexpected social and security consequences. How global boiling will cook the economy, undermine the social compact and lead to unrest and chaos. https://t.co/67UTfQnDM1 @BreakthroughCCR @aslcg_org@RogerHallamCS21@CodeRedEarth
A M O C are the four most important letters in my life - in your life reading this - in everyone's living on this planet. Even if we truly understood even a little of what is at stake, we would be spending days unable to speak - traumatised by horror and terror.
And then we would know what we are going to be doing for rest of our lives. Doing what it takes to stop this from happening.

"Consequences: Modelling by Prof. Peter Ditlevsen of the University of Copenhagen shows that AMOC slowdown would cool London by an average of 10°C and Bergen, Norway by 15°C. A breakdown of this system could plunge the UK and large parts of the Northern Hemisphere into a new ice age ... "
Global food and water security crisis: Ditlevsen and his co-authors conclude that a collapse of the AMOC heat-transporting circulation would be a going-out-of-business scenario for European agriculture: “You cannot adapt to this”.
In addition, writes Prof. Tim Lenton, the director of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter, the monsoons that typically deliver rain to West Africa and South Asia would become unreliable, and huge swathes of Europe and Russia would be devastated by drought. As much as half of the world’s viable area for growing corn and wheat could dry out. He says that “in simple terms [it] would be a combined food and water security crisis on a global scale.”"
This week's column is about blatant protectionism, which seeks to defend one of the two most destructive industries on Earth (livestock farming) against competition from new technologies. Just like the fossil fuel lobby trying to shut down renewables.

Very good to see and be involved in such a deliberate and positive step forward for safer indoor air. Trailblazing from @VicGovAu.

Global meat and dairy giants are investing just a fraction of their revenues into cutting emissions despite being among the world’s largest polluters.

The Australian government has created a #climate vacuum, and we will pay the price. Support for emergency-scale climate action requires deep public understanding of the risks and future impacts, but the government is deliberately failing to do this. https://t.co/bf4TiLRJEQ
Big Dairy has managed to delay crucial climate action on agricultural emissions for over 20 years in NZ. It's a never-ending sequel of inaction! @ChangingMarkets' new report highlights Big Dairy's insidious delay👇 https://t.co/pwjW16WrIs #NewMerchantsOfDoubt#nzpol
If we want to understand the landscape of brittleness that surrounds us, we must acknowledge that in a very real sense all these catastrophes are *planned* disasters...
