I have signed an executive order to slightly increase total daylight every successive day until June of this year! Our many months of darkness will soon be over! Enjoy!

2024 is almost history and the global temperature forecast for the remaining few days is rock solid now. Time to wrap up.
In most datasets, 2024 will be 0.1 degree C warmer than 2023. Also, 2024 will be the 1st individual year above the 1.5 degree Paris warming threshold in all datasets.

Think carefully before buying a Greenland shark for the holidays. They are, after all, the world’s longest-living vertebrate.

Ocean plastic is a way harder problem to solve than it seems at first glance. “Just scoop it up” solutions are *worse than leaving it there*. This sucks, but because of how animals learn to use the plastic, it’s a no-go. Follow along with Rebecca for solutions that actually improve the situation.
"CLEANING" THE OCEAN USING NETS IS A DANGEROUS IDEA.
The Ocean Cleanup is using boats & a net to collect ocean plastic (left). I've circles all the animals trapped in their early prototypes (right).
There are better ways to solve the ocean plastic problem... 🧵
