A tilemap of the world showing how electricity production sources have changed from 2000 to 2024. Each tile contains an area chart indicating the share of fossil fuels (grey), nuclear (yellow), and renewables (green). Across most regions, especially Europe, parts of Latin America, and Africa, renewable energy use has grown. In contrast, several countries in Asia and the Middle East remain dominated by grey, indicating continued dependence on fossil fuels. Nuclear energy (yellow) is visible in a smaller set of countries, notably in Europe and East Asia. Overall, the map highlights a global shift toward renewables, though progress is uneven across regions.

Three-panel stacked line chart showing independent indicators of planetary change from 1960 to 2024, all trending upward in parallel. Top panel: atmospheric CO₂ concentration rises from 317 ppm to 425 ppm, crossing the 400 ppm threshold in 2013. Middle panel: global mean temperature anomaly (relative to 1951–1980 baseline) climbs from near 0°C to +1.2°C, first exceeding +1°C in 2016. Bottom panel: global mean sea level rises approximately 149 mm (15 cm) above the 1960 baseline. All three signals move in the same direction across six decades, illustrating the convergent trajectory of climate change indicators. Data sources: NOAA GML (CO₂), NASA GISS (temperature), CSIRO Church & White, and NOAA LSA (sea level).

Mapa de calor rectangular de anomalías térmicas globales por mes (columnas) y año (filas) desde 1880. La parte superior correspondiente a años antiguos es predominantemente cian, indicando temperaturas bajo la media. La franja inferior, correspondiente a las dos últimas décadas, es de un magenta oscuro continuo en todos los meses.

Can we finally agree that burning wood for energy is a terrible idea and won't be carbon neutral, let alone carbon negative, in our lifetimes? BECCS using wood certainly shouldn't qualify as CO₂ removal (CDR).

Line graph time series of 2026's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2025. 2026 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between March and May by looking at the decadal average line positions.

Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 2nd lowest on record (JAXA data)...

• about 450,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 750,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,190,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,780,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Global glacier mass change in 2025 - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment Glaciers lost 408 ± 132 Gt of mass during the hydrological year 2025, equivalent to 1.1 ± 0.4 mm sea-level rise. Since 1975, glacier mass loss has totalled 9,583 ± 1,211 Gt, equivalent to 26.4 ± 3.3 m...

Glaciers had one of their worst years in 2025:

👉 408 billion tonnes of ice mass lost
👉 ≈1.1 mm added to global sea levels
👉 6 of the 7 worst years have happened in the past 7 yrs

Since 1975: ~9,600 billion tonnes gone (≈26.4 mm SLR)

This isn’t a gradual change...

Combined 1x1 km raster map (left) and bar chart (right), titled "The long walk to care" showing the distribution of walking travel time to the nearest healthcare facility in Madagascar (2020). The map uses a yellow to dark teal colour scale to show travel times across the country. The bar chart shows that the largest share of the population lives between 60 and 180 minutes (walking time) from a facility, followed by those between 180 and 600 minutes.

A dot plot on a polar coordinate system showing the average monthly air temperatures in Germany between 1881 and 2026 with months of the year on the x axis and the temperature in degrees Celsius. The monthly values are represented as dots. The values from 2016 to 2026 are highlighted in lilac. A reference line indicates that most of the monthly average temperatures after 2016 have been higher than the long-term average.

The majority of monthly average air temperatures (2m) in Germany since 2016 have been higher than the long-term average (1961-1990). Each dot in this chart represents the monthly average for a year.

📌 Keeping these graphs : it's really good visual explanations of possible changes !

At this point I have asked hundreds of people if they feel like the weather where they live is getting weirder. I have never had a single person say no, not even in deep Texas. Most immediately launch into a long explanation of exactly what has changed. It’s the perfect conversation starter.

It feels so weird to hear people say they use LLM to summarise a paper when the ABSTRACT exists - it's already been summarised for you!
If there's something you want to find out from the paper which isn't in the abstract, then maybe you should READ IT
