We’re filling the atmosphere with CO2 like a bathtub with water. Most of it stays for millennia.
That is why the cumulative emissions (the total amount, as pictured here) and not yearly emissions determine the amount of #globalwarming.

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index.

On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive?
Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%.
This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!

2024 kam 🇩🇪 erstmals seit 1961 ohne Atomstrom aus. Was wurde gewarnt: Blackouts, Brownouts, explodierende Strompreise & Kohle-Comeback. Stattdessen war Strom immer verfügbar, die Preise sind stabil, mit 37,2% Anteil historischer Tiefstand foss. Brennstoffe & mit 62,7% ein Rekordanteil von PV & Wind😊

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

In Germany, 55% find friendship very important (and further 41% rather important). At the same time, 88% deem family very important (ourworldindata.org/grapher/how-...). Contradicting the narrative of individualism? (Or showing discrepancy between wishes and reality)

Very visual description of the temperature over time. No further words needed
Here is how daily global surface temperatures have changed since the 1940s.
Note that global temperatures show a modest seasonal cycle due to a higher proportion of land are in the Northern Hemisphere.

#ClimateAdaptation is about the people and their connections to the places they call home. But what happens when the value of these connections is left out of the equation? Our new study @steimani.bsky.social @maxburger.bsky.social explores whether relational values can fit into monetary frameworks
