..and the SLR projections are going to prove woefully underestimated.

125,000 years ago, with temps ~1°C warmer than pre-industrial (cooler than today), sea levels were 6-9 m higher. Ice sheets have done this before. The rate of warming now is faster than anything in the geological record.
Most climate research comes with these caveats.
AMOC research doesn't model Greenland Ice melt!
You should always assume the climate prognosis is worse than the scientists are telling you (they're already telling you it's terrible)
New paper out in Phil Trans R Soc A. We asked a simple question: are the IPCC’s lowest sea-level rise scenarios actually achievable? Short answer: probably not. 🧵

One of my assignments from Google a decade ago was to do astroturfing in pursuit of copyright reforms that benefit internet communities, but really, mainly the corporate overlord.
I actually can’t believe how clumsy and coarse the Palantir operation has been. Do listen.

We don’t have to choose between affordability and climate.

They've been doing the same thing to people with CFS for years
Exercise is very good for your health IF YOU ARE HEALTHY.
There are a large number of ailments that make it a really bad idea.
Well, that took longer than expected
But here is what Peter Newman and I suggest a response to the fuel crisis that involves actual climate action - in the thread, supporting our post about Earth Day

Do they have a comment on the wetness of water?
Yeah but boycott substack
A lot of the Oracle stuff is actually vital digital infrastructure. The entire system collapses without it and we all starve.
There are also people who sincerely believe the utter bullshit that they are about to create a real Ai.
That's not going to work when it's food though and there's only enough for 50 million.
Imagine using a sheep to symbolise a national park.
If every bit of land is farmed, even places whose main purpose is to act as a refuge for the wild, where exactly is nature supposed to go?
BOYCOTT SUBSTACK
Trump told you he’d run America like a business.
He is.
It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.
Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.
Govt Spox should be laughed at more often
Let's take another shot at Pi=3!
It's worse than they're saying too
The scientists absolutely mind-bogglingly don't include Greenland Ice Melt (one of the main causes of AMOC slowing) in their models and that's going to get a HUGE hit when we run out of Arctic Sea Ice in about* a decade
* very rough: 4-20 years not 9-11.
Believe their own propaganda

I'm part of the Environmental Audit Committee, and today we published our report on PFAS 'forever chemicals' 👇
It's scary how many products contain PFAS, and it's impossible to avoid them through our individual purchasing choices, so govt needs to take action.

This system is completely legal and standing in the way of public good and a just energy transition.
If governments are serious about phasing out fossil fuels, they must confront and dismantle ISDS. ⛔️

☀️ UK solar is booming, but the next phase is the real test.
📈 2025: 21.6GW (+13.6%)
🎯 45GW by 2030, more than double in 4 years
Solar is already cutting bills, boosting energy security & driving net zero 🌍💡
But scaling depends on grids, planning, workforce & access ⚡
He was more a bad political strategist than leader and almost cartoonishly bad at identifying his enemies.
