It matters.

🆕 Several Earth system components may be closer to destabilisation than previously thought. Crossing key temperature thresholds could trigger feedback loops, pushing the planet toward a “Hothouse Earth” trajectory.

It is a good news that CIMP7 is finally coming... Badly needed. Hopefully this framework will handle better extremes and carbon cycle feedbacks and ocean thermodynamics. Regrettably social processes are prone to compound effects. On ECS we will wait and see the dice casted.

Incredible: ~2500mm (78 inches) in 20 days - 1.5X the normal yearly rainfall in Grazalema, Spain and it’s only February. How? A 5000 mile Tropical Atmospheric River lifted by terrain in Southern Spain. H/T Nahel Belgherze #europe #flood #spain #weather

🌊 An important new study led by ACEAS PhD researcher Annika Oetjens from @imas-utas.bsky.social at @utas.edu.au shows the Southern Ocean may be storing 40 to 60 per cent less carbon at certain depths than many climate models assume.

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027.
And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should.

The State of Climate Action 2025 report finds that global efforts to combat climate change are “well off track” and require significant acceleration to meet the 1.5°C limit. Deforestation, coal phase-out, and climate finance are particularly concerning areas where progress is lacking.

The ocean is a carbon toilet. Marine heat waves are clogging it. Tiny poops are supposed to sink to the seafloor, locking away carbon. But scientists have found that heat waves are disrupting that flushing.

Just saw this on terrestial carbon sinks (while new study on AMOC is also increasing the chance of positive feedback driven rachet

This Is Fascism

Natural emission related tipping points and albedo related tipping points can be also triggered or being triggered before true zero enacted.

The most prominent systems are sink capacities - we are already seeing reduction of land based sink capacity. Sea based sink capacity is also decreasing because increased acidity and thermohaline stratification concentrating heat in the upper few hundred meter strata of the oceans.

There is one assumptions here for which it matters WHEN the true zero emission level happens: if Eart system elements reach bifurcation points and pushed towards new equilibrium before CO2 emission stops then the statement is false. Returning to the original state would require more effort.

Dozens of heatwaves linked to carbon emissions from specific companies Nature - Nearly one-quarter of heatwaves would have been ‘virtually impossible’ without global warming — and can be attributed to the emissions of individual energy producers.

🔥Climate change made the weather that drove deadly wildfires in Türkiye, Greece and Cyprus 22% more intense.

The study, by @wwattribution.bsky.social, examined weather conditions in the months and days leading up to and during the worst blazes in June and July this year 🧵

This Nature article argues that the recent declines in Antarctic sea-ice, ice-sheet, abyssal meridional overturning circulation (MOC), and marine species habitats point to a potential abrupt changes in the Antarctic environment: 🌊🧪🥼❄️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ahh... just one more bit of confirmation that we are doomed... while mainstream climate discourse is still mentioning 1,5C and net zero 2050...

"The findings could also mean that the land carbon sink – which normally removes billions of tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year and is essential for meeting climate targets – is weakening decades earlier than expected"

Many NAmerican forest types are experiencing similar demographic declines, with little/no reproduction. Examples include oak forests in CA and the Midwest, whitebark and western white pine in the West, cottonwoods in some dryland settings. Forests of the 'living dead' are all around us.

Our researchers have discovered an unexpected change in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

Since 2015, it has lost sea ice equal to the size of Greenland. They found surface waters are becoming saltier, causing more melting.
