I urge all policymakers to attend this vital briefing on the climate & nature crisis, which brings the latest science from leading experts straight to the people in power. I’d like to see one in every country, & the organizers are open to sharing the model. More info: www.nebriefing.org
National Emergency Briefing on climate & nature
An unfiltered assessment of the latest threats arising from the climate & nature crisis to an invite-only audience. Westminster Central Hall, 27 November. Has your MP confirmed yet?

“The IMPACTS of lower levels of heating are proving to be so much worse than we thought even just ten years ago.”

“Even for an intermediate emissions scenario [which is our current emissions pathway] the probability of AMOC shutdown is way above 50%”

(AMOC shut-down means Europe and parts of South-East Asia become uninhabitable, by the way.)

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. 🌊

"Unfortunately, the 'good' models, the more realistic ones, are the ones where the AMOC weakens most... even for an intermediate emissions scenario, the probability of shutting down the AMOC is way above 50%... we will probably pass the point of no return for an AMOC shutdown in the next 10-20yrs" 😱

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead.

Your MP needs to be at the National Emergency Briefing.

Tell them about it NOW ⬇️
Storms like Claudia will keep getting worse and happen more often until we stop burning fossil fuels.

Experts warn that the UK isn’t prepared, with lives and property - and our economy - at growing risk.

It’s essential MPs are fully briefed:

Interesting numbers @drandrewboswell.bsky.social
The installed capacity of carbon capture and storage is about 50 megatonnes per annum of carbon, but it actually captures about 30 a year

Have been hunting for this number for a LONG time - buried in a DNV CCS report ->

Cutting the insulation schemes that are one of the best ways to permanently reduce energy bills for low income families would be an eyewateringly daft & counterproductive way of seeking to reduce energy bills, as well as driving up emissions & leading to mass job cuts in the insulation sector 🙄

Rosebank - THE defining test of this government’s credibility on climate change.

From the 20th Nov it’s their choice …

Will they #StopRosebank ?

For those around in 2040, I hope so.

We need countries to show leadership, and we need that now.
BREAKING 🚨: @zackpolanski.bsky.social has joined 250+ organisations calling on Keir Starmer to reject the controversial Rosebank oil field.

Rosebank is a defining test of this government’s credibility on climate change. They must reject this disaster project.

0.4°C/decade warming rate…

2035 could be awkward…

#ActNow
October is the least warmed month and reached +1.55°C during a La Niña!

The past 29 months were +1.57°C on average, 0.32°C above the same 2015-2017 period, indicating a 0.4°C/dec warming rate.

That's more than a doubling from the 1970-2010 warming rate.
Even(?) we might have underestimated this.
