"There are eight richest billionaires [who] own the same amount of wealth as the poorest four billion people… That should make everybody angry, pick up their pitchforks and demand change"
“Scientists in Germany are studying a 1.2-million-year-old ice core retrieved from Antarctica after years of planning and months of drilling in temperatures of -35 degrees Celsius (-31 Fahrenheit).
[It’s] the oldest continuous ice core to have ever been drilled. The scientists are now hoping it will unlock vital information about the Earth's climate.”

Yes, it is 4.5°C, not 3°C for 2xCO2, by 99% We know this already, but here is why.

Your 'moment of doom' for Aug. 7, 2025
~ July, 2025 was likely 3rd hottest in last 120,000 years.
Wherever you go, show me a political leader calling themselves a "conservative" & I'll show you a denier of #ClimateScience who now has to resort to increasingly sillier reasons for the world we all see burning around us.
And political stunts like letters to Canada

"The good news is that CO2 is definitely not rising at an all-time record rate. That record curently belongs to February, 2019.
The bad news is that CO2 is still rising at nearly a record rate."

Outburst of a subglacial flood from the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet
#FYI #PaulBeckwith video lecture and literature review #Greenland #icemelting
"In how many different ways can a glacier like those on Greenland melt?"
Next week our ECR group are starting a #MachineLearning sprint to speed up the development of our new #IceSheet surface mass budget emulation models.
I'm looking for hints, ideas tips and inspiration to help smooth and accelerate the process.
If you're used to working in #Sprint mode, what in your opinion makes it work or otherwise hinders it?
What can I as supervisor do to make it run better?
And how should we celebrate it's conclusion?
Also, should me do an #AMA on the process?
my eyes don't scare me
like the climate numbers do.
physics can sneak up

Dan demonstrates how tiny amounts of stuff can have huge effects on their surroundings
(If you still think small amounts are insignificant, just try 270 ppm of cyanide. You're welcome.)
The real reason why #Trump is killing the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawai'i
The #KeelingCurve, measured there, is irrefutable evidence of increasing #CO2 #emissions
"Unfortunately, the current administration would prefer to blind us. For example, in addition to shutting down such climate-monitoring efforts as the Mauna Loa Observatory, the new management of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (#EPA) has announced that it is "reconsidering" its "burdensome" Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (#GHGRP), which requires major industrial sources of greenhouse gasses to report their emissions."
