NEW: Apple CEO, Tim Cook, arrives at the White House with a 24 karat gold gift for Trump.

When the history books are written, these compliant, knee-bending billionaires will be excoriated. They will be labelled co-conspirators.

Read the story behind our new study published yesterday in Nature, unfiltered straight from the scientists: 🌊

Unprecedented heat in the North Atlantic Ocean kickstarted Europe’s hellish 2023 summer. Now we know what caused it
Parts of the Atlantic Ocean are again much warmer than normal, priming Europe for more extreme heat this summer.

The ocean is the heart of our life support system, absorbing over 90% of the excess heat from global warming. This is evident in the rise of ocean heat content over time.
Ocean heat content in 2024 - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
Global full-depth ocean heat content (OHC) gain since 1960 reached a record 452 ± 77 ZJ in 2024. OHC was 15 ± 9 ZJ higher than in 2023, primarily associated with warming in the Atlantic and Indian Oce...

More than 90% of fossil fuel emissions occurred since my parents were born.
Over 80% since I was born.
Over 30% since my children were born.

And well over 50% since the world agreed at the Rio Earth Summit to prevent dangerous climate change. And I thought: „At last!“
