Glaciers from the Rockies to the Alps are melting much faster than expected
Glaciers in Canada, the U.S., and the Alps have lost 12% of their volume since 2001, as heatwaves and soot drive melt rates beyond forecasts.

Do you notice that every doctor who has been in Gaza comes back and describes it as an unimaginably horrific genocide, so vastly worse than even those of us following it realize?
Renowned Greek doctor describes bombs that produce shrapnel that makes tiny entry-wounds in the necks of children in Gaza, travelling through them such "that their larynx, their trachea, their spine had been destroyed."
"So these children could be 'used' to show how... effective these bombs are."

The climate vibe is changing.
I was on a panel at a thing the other day and explained climate change is something being done by a tiny minority to the majority and that we need to recognise climate change and liberal climate policy it for what it is. The (liberal) audience lapped it up

Climate populism demands we stop spending money on imperialist aggression and use the money to give the marginalised a stake in the future.
Exigir un 5% de gasto en defensa, aunque no se comprase material a Estados Unidos, seguiría siendo una imposición arbitraria y estúpida. Que aparentemente solo España esté intentando resistir debería darnos una idea de lo complicado del panorama ahora mismo.
NEW- Nato plans for all allies to pledge 5pct defence spending at a ministerial meeting June 5, but Spain is still resisting that Trump demand, officials told @financialtimes.com, disrupting preparations for the alliance’s crucial summit in The Hague

My word problem is that I recently realized the midlevel estimate of 1 billion deaths from climate change (Exeter U et al) works out to 50 deaths per minute, 24/7/365 for the next 40 years. Clock running now. This is the likely end of my keynote speaker opportunities.

In short, a lot of the 'climate movement' is a total joke, fantasising that humanity's love of net zero will dissolve social conflict and class anatognisms.
