1 hour 8 minutes? You probably don't have the time. But in case you do, here is a recording of my @gsiexeter.bsky.social seminar at @exeter.ac.uk earlier this week in which I talk about overshoot, consequences and possible ways forward.

📢Global Carbon Budget 2025📢

Fossil CO2 emissions continue to rise in 2025 while the terrestrial carbon sink recovers to pre-El Niño strength.

The key findings are covered in two reports this year:
* ESSDD (preprint): essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...
* Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I know I've said this before, but from advertorials to false equivalence the media really needs to own up to its role in warping the climate issue. www.thenation.com/article/envi...
The Media Is Complicit in the Climate Confusion
The vast majority of people want their governments to take climate action—but most wrongly think they’re in the minority. The media is partly to blame.

This is how the total greenhouse gas forcing changed over the past 130,000 years, relative to 1750 and converted to CO₂.

We've ain't seen nothing yet!

“This is the largest increase since modern measurements started in 1957 and is well in excess of the 2022–2023 increase of 2.3 ppm.”

Global carbon sinks buckling as pollution overwhelms Earth’s capacity to absorb our impacts. ☠️

CO2 levels in Earth's atmosphere jumped by a record amount in 2024
The global average concentration of CO2 surged by 3.5 parts per million to reach 423.9 ppm last year, fuelling worries that the planet’s ability to soak up excess carbon is weakening

Stunned and sickened to learn for the first time that 31 Yemeni journalists were killed by Israel last week.

HRW says they hit a media center housing the headquarters of two newspapers. A analyst is quoted saying staff gathered to prepare the next edition of one paper.

The situation in Nepal is incredible. The government tried to ban social media last week which led to violent protests and the prime minister ousted.

Gen Z protesters then met in a 100K strong Discord chat where they elected ex-chief justice Sushila Karki as the interim prime minister.

They know the climate chaos coming, they know their decision will make it worse, and kill any hope of mitigation, but they did it anyway - for their own benefit.
Not a principle among them.

This is not a particularly new finding; as Susan Soloman and colleagues put it in their groundbreaking 2009 paper, "the climate change that takes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop" www.pnas.org/doi/10....
