The idea that emissions can be offset through projects that claim to avoid releases or to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is fatally flawed.

Subglacial freshwater from beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet flows into the ocean under ice shelves. Vaňková et al., probe how this affects ice melt, finding that discharge impacts melt rates primarily via continental shelf temperature modification 🐧 🌊

Simulations covering 800,000 years show that a slight deep-ocean warming can trigger West #Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse, raising sea level by about 4 metres.

Today’s temperatures are already at this threshold. Future irreversible ice sheet loss may occur with little/no further climate warming.
Antarctic Ice Sheet tipping in the last 800,000 years warns of future ice loss - Communications Earth & Environment
The Antarctic Ice Sheet exhibits hysteresis and irreversible ice loss, with West Antarctic collapse contributing over 4 m of sea-level rise even under minimal additional warming, according to 800,000-...

Our new study published this month finds that climate change will tend to create more noise around airports across Europe.

The lift generated by a departing aircraft is less in warmer air, reducing climb angles by up to 7.5%.

UK airports are set to get NOISIER due to climate change, experts warn
If you live near an airport, it might be wise to invest in a decent pair of earplugs - because the noise of departing aircraft is set to get even worse.
