Our house of cards is collapsing, the warnings have been clear for at least the past 50 years and now the 6th great extinction is well underway. I suspect our fate is now sealed.

Unbelievably bad news coming down the line...😱

Jackdaw: a decision for last century. climateuncensored.com/jackdaw-a-de... A hastily drafted post following the UK Govt’s decision to approve further drilling & production at the Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea. Please excuse typos, non-sequiturs, etc - I wanted to get the post online today.

The long-term rate of CO2 growth is currently at a record 24.35 ppm per decade. Net-zero by 2050? 2070? Ain't gonna' happen. Well, it might. But for another reason.

We are well ahead in the race to extinction...

24 septembre 2026 : encore 37 °C en France. Si cette température était un épisode isolé, je n'en ferais pas un post. Mais ce n'est justement pas le cas car cela dure depuis le mois de mai.

With global temperatures quickly falling, this year saw 88 days with the global surface temperature above 16.5°C, the second most on record. The record holder is 2024, having 92 days above 16.5°C. The Climate Casino is taking the OVER on 100 days above 16.5°C in 2027.

“What is happening in the equatorial Pacific is jaw-dropping and could well mark one of the biggest global weather upheavals in a millennium,” said Prof Bill McGuire in the Guardian on Tuesday The hyper El Nino continues to obliterate records www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks

Can't get a moment's peace on this bloody planet.

A truly biblical hailstorm brought an abrupt end to our holiday outside Zurich yesterday. I wonder if the climate is changing ?

No, No, No, No, NO! Carbon capture and storage does NOT reduce emissions All it does is lock-in fossil fuel usage and infrastructure, and facilitate business as usual As far as tackling the climate emergency is concerned, it is a con trick www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You don't know the half of it Nothing less than a war-footing will have any impact in relation to adapting to the all-pervasive climate mayhem that is coming And even that will barely scratch the surface @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Our politicians fail to take the climate crisis seriously. We risk runaway warming...

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: We need an independent commission to scrutinise tidal energy generation in the Mersey Estuary.. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/we...

Dear government, don’t send startling, high-pitched alerts about wildfires to ordinary people's phones. Send them to the CEOs of fossil fuel companies and make them impossible to switch off until they stop the destructive plunder that's contributing to climate change.

The Government™ has made an ad about Ai Data Centres, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Here's another graphic demonstrating that the planet has already passed 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, this time using monthly averages, with a prediction to pass 2.0°C by late 2036.

👏👏

@bbcnews.bsky.social I've never seen so much coverage of the wildfires without a single reference to the role of fossil fuels...🥴

Exactly. There will be no new normal. The weather will keep becoming more extreme until the world decarbonises. We might have the odd calmer year but the trend will be more extreme. So today’s UK weather is the least extreme we can ever expect. Time to finally WAKE UP.

Serial heatwaves, unprecedented leaps between old and new temperature extremes, mass evacuations - and speechless governments. Because the words they would have to say in their second sentences are “fossil fuels”. And they mostly just cannot. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

👏👏

It’s 👏 going 👏 to 👏 keep 👏 getting 👏 worse 👏 as 👏 long as 👏 we 👏 continue 👏 to 👏 burn 👏 fossil 👏 fuels.👏

So excited to see this! Over 4 episodes I cover the hugely alarming conclusions of the Joint Intelligence Ctte Report, shamefully suppressed by Government, & explore its implications for our food and water security. @nebriefing.bsky.social @climatemajority.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Nino region 3.4 SST update for June 8. By year's end: a global temperature spike, record floods & droughts, massive heatwaves & storms, global crop failures & famine, wildfires, dead coral and other marine life, inflation and infrasructure collapse. Your mileage may vary.

Breaking New! Code UFB!!! Total fuckery is happening to the sea-surface temperatures in region Nino 3.4:

The three year running average for the global surface temperature anomaly is now more than 1.54°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline. With El Nino ahead, expect this to keep rising over the next two years.

"Terrorism" on the left. "Protest" on the right.

Britain ‘sleepwalking into a #food crisis’ without urgent action, experts say - Industry figures warn of national security risk and call for ministers to address impact of extreme weather, inflation and Iran war Story by @fionaharvey.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A big piece in today's @theguardian.com Please note, I am being optimistic in my scenario 😮 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

This is an excellent over view of the dangerous warming period we’ll likely be entering in the next 12 months. Share it widely. Corp news will not acknowledge this increased danger until it’s too late in order to keep markets stable. That is their sole job. open.substack.com/pub/chrisglo...
