Forests across the planet are under threat. We need to act urgently to not only protect our existing forests, but to allow forests to return where they once were.

There's nothing inherently wrong with climate change. It's just that the ecosystems and built environments that we depend on as life support systems aren't equipped to handle the rapid changes. So if we want to live, we should deal with climate change ASAP.

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.

As Ryan Mizzen explains in his analysis of James Hansen's study, the drop in shipping aerosols *unmasked* warming. 👇
This doesn’t mean pollution controls are wrong. What it really shows is that unless we rapidly reduce GHGs, the *real* warming comes through in full force.
