Is the Atlantic Ocean circulation close to tipping?
Hear the latest science as I presented it last month at the ATLAS25 event in Helsinki.
Let me know if anything is unclear, or if you see good reasons why your government shouldn't immediately act on this. 🌊

Great to see NASA GISS back online!

Using a 1880-1920 pre-industrial reference baseline (as preferred by @drjamesehansen.bsky.social et al.), 2025 will be close to +1.5°C.

That's with the tropical Pacific causing some relative cooling (La Niña)!

The RATE of CO₂ increase keeps increasing.

It's not exponential (like the @clubofrome.org 1972 'Limit's to growth' projection), but there is little indication of the growth rate stabilizing (let alone decreasing) any time soon either.

The three-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly now exceeds 1.50°C over the pre-industrial baseline, as of November 8, 2025.

Are you there, COP 30? It's me, the Paris Agreement.

Your 'moment of doom' for Nov. 3, 2025 ~ Category 6.

Category 6 is the new hurricane normal, say scientists
Human-caused climate change is making major hurricanes like Melissa much stronger, faster and ultimately more life-threatening

The median date for global sea-ice extent to hit its annual maximum is November 2nd. That was yesterday.

It's looking like 2025 may end up with the second lowest global sea-ice maximum since records began in 1988, behind only 2024. And 2016 is just barely higher.

Stay tuned!

After more than 30y+, global climate initiatives across the board - including the COPs - remain unfit for purpose

Emissions are still going through the roof, there is backtracking on green measures, and a just transition is as far away as ever

Hopeless!

Wake up! ⏰️

Global Sea Surface Temperatures are likely even higher than the Eemian warm period, 125,000 years ago, when global sea levels were 5-10 meters higher than today.

October 2025 Sea Surface Temperatures still being above pre-2023 records is another indication of higher climate sensitivity👇

The record low for the 3-year running average for Antarctic sea-ice extent was set in early December, 2024. Current numbers are just slightly above the record.

Will we see a new record low soon? The Climate 8-ball has been pocketed.

Global 2-meter temperatures once again broke the Paris limit on Sept. 14 and Sept. 15, reaching 1.52°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline both days, marking the 2nd hottest temperatures for the date on record, and possibly in the last 120,000 years.

The first Limits to growth report didn't cover greenhouse gas warming in much detail, but it did forecast accurately what CO₂ increase would look like.

We didn't quite follow the exponential increase in atmospheric CO₂, but got close!

We've already completely altered the global climate.

+2C in 2035. Just 10 years, folks

+2.5C by 2040? This rate IS accelerating.

If I told you you had LESS than 10 years to save the world, would you do what it takes?

The US may have shed 33K jobs, but the economists who predicted 100K jobs would be added get to keep theirs: being paid too much to do fuck all aside from being puppets in a banana republic regime where tech oligarchs shut Gen Z out of the job market with AI. Is that enough dystopia for you?

As of yesterday, global sea surface temperatures are running about 3.5 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 average (first 30 years of data), and rank 3rd hottest, behind 2023 and 2024.

The Netherlands is officially experiencing a heatwave. 🇳🇱🌡📈

It's the 31st heatwave since 1901.
15 of which occurred since 2000.

Implying an increase of ~300%!

And there were only 8 heatwaves during the first 75 years of the 20th century.
