One of the most shocking graphs I've made.

Using NASA CERES data, IPCC forcings and very low-, mid- and very high- climate feedbacks multiplied by the NASA GISS temperature trend.

If the NASA satellite data is right, the IPCC forcings and feedbacks are likely all wrong

Your 'doom quote' for today:

"We are running the most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere can handle before there is an environmental catastrophe."

F*ck!

🚨The ocean is losing its ability to store heat as the planet warms up🚨

With a record high rate of heat accumulation, that means that more heat is available to warm the land and atmosphere, and to melt ice.

Both relatively and absolutely.

Which is exactly what we see!

The magnitude of the current size of the #Arctic sea ice extent anomaly is unheard of in the satellite-era record for the deep winter season months.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Jeg er vild med det her! Jacob Jelsing bruger nogle af alle sine mange penge, på noget der faktisk gavner alle og ikke kun sig selv og familen. I Radio4 i dag udtaler han, at alle milliadærer burde bidrage med andet end at hoarde mere rigdom! Kæmpe champ 🙌🏼

In case you missed it: 2024 was the world's warmest year since @noaa.gov records began in 1850.

Global surface temperature was 2.32°F (1.29°C) above the 20th-century average. The 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade.

As a reminder, land areas (where we live) are warming around twice as fast as the oceans. Subsequently, most of us are 'experiencing' temperatures rising faster than the global mean record.

If everyone would just stop fighting, there would be peace on Earth! 🕊

Not realistic?

Try to genuinely imagine what it would take to realize net zero in time to keep global warming below 2.0°C.

We are crossing 1.5°C as we speak.

Let's keep it real!

Den Internationale Straffedomstol (ICC) har for kort tid siden udstedt en arrestordre på Israels premierminister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Læs eller genlæs @angeist.bsky.social’s leder om sagen fra maj i år:
Det er ikke spor uhyrligt at forsøge at drage Netanyahu til ansvar for krigsforbrydelser
Angrebene mod Den Internationale Straffedomstols chefanklager kan styrke mistanken om, at Vesten kun bakker om den internationale retsorden, når det ikke går ud over vores allierede
