We got it wrong. We're a lot more fucked than anyone thought. If someone is telling you we can limit warming to 2.5C by 2100 they're lying. Or even 3C by 2050 they're hoping for something that can't likely happen.

Text covers both images. "It can’t be stated strongly enough how fast the climate feedback cascade is now ramping up. Surface air temperatures in the Arctic are now predicted to be up to + 20 degrees C (+ 36 degrees F) above the average for the date on November 17. The month of October averaged + 5 to + 10 degrees C (+ 9 to + 18 degrees F) above average for the date across the Arctic. Last January through March (3 months running) were up to + 10 to 15 C (+ 18 to + 27 F above average across large parts of the Arctic. Blue Ocean Events in both polar regions are becoming likely much sooner all the time and could even come in 2026. That will send the Earth into much more rapid, catastrophic warming. Time has run out. Unless the world acts aggressively without delay to rapidly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, the next El Nino could bring the world near + 2 C and we could see + 3 C within another 15 years. We are on course to irreversible extinction level warming even for humans. We are now past + 1.5 C (+ 2.7 F) which was predicted to take about 15 more years just 3 years ago."

Some species declared extinct this year were last seen in the 1800s. Others vanished decades ago. Extinction usually happens quietly, earlier, & out of sight. We don’t lose species suddenly. We lose them invisibly.

This is g l o b a l w a r m i n g. Temperatures will be 10 to 20 degrees C (18 to 36 degrees F) above average in most of the U.S. on Christmas Day. Then temperatures will plunge to 6 to 16 degrees C below average on New Year’s Day in the Midwest and surrounding areas. These enormous temperature swings with a large bias to warming will only worsen in future years. But the scariest thing in these maps is actually the warming of both polar regions, especially in Antarctica. The red and orange oval in East Antarctica is a new but persistent feature of the last 2 months. It’s part of huge changes occurring in the Southern Ocean that will massively accelerate sea ice and ice shelf melting and trigger glacial calving in Antarctica as well as massively accelerate warming worldwide. We are headed to 2 degrees C (3.6 F) of global average warming by about 2030. Warming will continue to accelerate unless we throw everything we’ve got at reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to zero by then. If we can eliminate fossil fuel burning, stop consuming red meat, and re-wild half of all agricultural lands then we might be able to limit warming to about 2 to 3 degrees C. Otherwise we are on a course to 8 to 14 degrees C or more of warming by next century. At 2 degrees C humanity’s future is bleak. At over 3 degrees C it’s extinction.

How would your city look like if one added 1 million more humans in 4.5 days?

How many new homes and schools and sports centers would need to be built in 5 days? How much more farm land would be needed every 5th day?

Plants don’t “love” shade.
Some tolerate it. Others require sun, wind, and disturbance.

Replacing an ecosystem with a few shade-tolerant species isn’t restoration. It’s simplification.

People see carbon reduction. Watersheds see concentrated runoff, compacted soils, erosion, and broken headwaters.

Solar panels on steep ridges rewire hydrology. Calling this “low impact” only works if you don’t look downhill.

"No one predicted this massive rate of warming of both polar regions."

In other words, the trend of huge underestimation of impacts in the climate system continues. We're toast.

Temperature anomalies for the date are predicted to be up to about + 28 C (+ 50 F) above average for the date in large parts of the Arctic and in the Indian Ocean side of the Antarctic on Christmas Eve. Massively increasing storminess and warm air intrusion in the polar regions is dramatically accelerating warming and ice melt. As more sea ice melts, albedo drops and lighter meltwater freshens the uppermost ocean layer making it density stratified and stable with much less vertical mixing which causes the surface layer to warm faster and it in turn further warms the atmosphere. No one predicted this massive rate of warming of both polar regions. The warming rate in Antarctica, not just in the air over the ice but particularly in the sea around and under it - because about half of the continent is sea between the islands under the ice sheet - brings massively accelerating and catastrophic sea level rise because of the vulnerability of under sea based glaciers.

We added 80m humans in 1970 at 2% growth as we did in 2025 at 1%. We're adding a new Germany per year and a new US+EU per decade.

Adding 1m every 4.5 days at 8.2bn is worse than at 4.1bn. We deforest more but have fewer forests. We should be reducing, not adding more humans, livestock or cars.

The widely used RCP8.5 pathway scenario used in “worst case” global climate modeling underpredicted the area of + 5 degrees C (+ 9 degrees F) to + 12 degrees C (+ 21.6 degrees F) average of temperature anomalies for the date for 90 days running ending November 30 across the Arctic by more than a factor of 3. It also underpredicted the maxima by about 4 degrees C (7.2 degrees F). December - February will likely be worse. Both the north and south polar regions are warming so rapidly now that they will likely be sea ice free in summer by 2027 if not 2026. The drop in albedo will further accelerate g l o b a l w a r m i n g. We have reached the point that we have no choice but to implement stratospheric aerosol injection without delay to prevent catastrophic planetary wide warming.
