Climate-linked escalation of societally disastrous wildfires

In case you need something else to worry about, scientists provide evidence that +1.5 °C of warming is already too high and is likely to generate several metres of sea-level rise over the coming centuries, causing extensive damage to coastal populations: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Warming of +1.5 °C is too high for polar ice sheets - Communications Earth & Environment
Warming of +1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels is too high for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and even the current climate forcing of +1.2 °C is likely to lead to several meters of sea-level ...

Our children will face unprecedented exposure to weather extremes.

Our paper led by Luke Grant and @wimthiery.bsky.social published in @nature.com shows that the generation of our children and grandchildren will be exposed to a lot more weather extremes than ours.

You may see messages like this on parts of our website, including the drought page. We rely heavily on maps & data from the High Plains Regional Climate Center, which no longer has funding. We'll do our best to point to alternative data sources, but many of these products are not easy to replicate.
Image with text: "Funding for the Regional Climate Center program lapsed on April 17, 2025 due to a suspension of federal funding from NOAA through the Department of Commerce. It is unknown if or when funding will resume. All data and services offered under the HPRCC contract, including this website, are unavailable."

"It’s our failure of editorial foresight and imagination to have seen the obvious...only at the last minute. To not have, earlier in our assigning process, decided to interrogate the fraught and fractured gender dynamics of wealth accumulation, of corporate influence, of power."

As we saw at Donald Trump's inauguration yesterday, Big Tech bros—also the richest men in the world—took center stage, sitting side-by-side.

GRACE mission is finding less water in/on lands, which parallels expectations that warmer atmosphere (a) is more evaporatively “demanding”, drying surfaces more, & (b) yields more intense Precip which runs off quicker, replenishing surfaces & subsrfaces less. 1/2
