The three-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly now exceeds 1.50°C over the pre-industrial baseline, as of November 8, 2025.

Are you there, COP 30? It's me, the Paris Agreement.

As I’ve seen this confused a few times, please note that Robin Gibb was a much-beloved member of the Bee Gees, whilst Robbie Gibb is the BBC board member who also, totally coincidentally, was editorial adviser in the set-up of GB News.

I know, Bee Gees, GBeebies, a bit confusing…

In a masterclass of duplicity, Nvidia "Make Every Day About Earth Day" talks about "AI helping understand wildlife threats, climate concerns, disaster risks & courses of action" whilst taking the opportunity to flog "bespoke AI software" to Big Oil & Gas for "optimizing production" #AIForGood🤮🤬

COP30: Only highest possible ambition can cut global damage from accelerating ice loss
Given the heated times we live in, (in all the senses of the word) it was highly unlikely that this year's State of the Cryosphere Report would bring good news about the impacts of climate warming on our frozen regions. Global ice loss is not letting up any time soon. On the contrary. Ten years after the signing of the Paris Agreement, ice and snow loss is accelerating. If anything should convince the delegates attending COP30 in Brazil of the need for ambitious and urgent action, this latest assessment of the state of our frozen regions should. This is not just about ice and snow. As the Report's title says: Ice Loss = Global Damage.

Oil companies are suing each other in the Permian basin as their greed driven drilling and water disposal practices are damaging reserves.

Oil and gas companies are suing each other of LNG contracts.

And this is while oil and gas demand is still growing.

The infighting will get vicious.

Friend of Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates, donated a tiny fraction of his grotesque wealth to farmers suffering from climate change.

If he paid taxes properly he would have been paying billions and billions in taxes.

Now he pretends to be generous with the money he owes us all.

If @drjamesehansen.bsky.social at all. (2025, mainly based on NASA CERES observations) is correct about the very strong shipping SOx forcing, the climate is more sensitive to anthropogenic forcings (incl both GHGs and aerosols).

Which e.g. means we need much faster mitigation and adaptation.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

When you switch from fossil to clean you only use like 30-40% of the energy to do the same stuff, bc most energy from fossil fuels is lost as waste heat

What's I'm trying to say is that all climate action is degrowth

WELCOME TO DEGROWTH EVERYONE
From my file on the IEA's world energy outlook.

"Primary energy" = what goes in

"Final energy" = what comes out
a
The space in between: mostly lost energy bc burning fossil fuels is absurdly wasteful.

So in the net zero scenario, that gaps closes to zero --->>
