Looking like 2024’s record sea surface temperatures may soon be broken - and that’s *before* the El Niño predicted for later this year kicks in, further supercharging climate impacts.

It’s time for emergency action at a wartime scale both to prepare and to cut emissions.

Climate crisis film to be shown in Swindon A free local screening of The National Emergency Briefing and discussion will take place at Christ Church on Monday 27 April.

“The National Emergency Briefing is a rapidly growing UK public information initiative, working to ensure that both Parliament and the wider public are clearly and honestly informed about the climate and nature crisis — and what an effective national response requires.”

A large audience watching a film with the words 'How do you feel?' above them.

A large audience watching a film with the words 'How do you feel?' above them.

The People's Emergency Briefing provokes a lot of different emotions. Here are some from viewers at our Lancaster screening.

How will you feel?

The assessment of probability certainly seems to be growing, but it remain uncertain. So there's everything still to fight for.

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 COâ‚‚ removal (CDR).

Well said David. We need immediate action from governments on this - not heads in the sand and months or years of delay.

That means acknowledging that emissions reduction pathways need to be re-assessed - something that's needed anyway to reflect the latest understanding of the threats faced.

Thanks for this important thread Aaron. I urge everyone reading this to share it and talk about it before it's too late. 🙏

Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. đź§µ

I see @nilspratley.bsky.social is still peddling nonsense!

I hope @katharineviner.bsky.social examines this given the
@theguardian.com's #Climate pledge

Its incoherent for their finance editorials to take this line, it undermines the excellent climate reporting by @dpcarrington.bsky.social & team

Excellent article. This really resonates:

"The aim should not be to impose a single message or tactic, but to find an approach capable of speaking in many registers to many audiences. As climate politics enters a critical phase, exclusion is a luxury we cannot afford. We need all hands on deck."

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

This is the first reaction from an MP, to the People's Emergency Briefing.
Much gratitude & respect to @werahobhouse.org.uk for attending in Bath 🙏

It's time to face the evidence together with our elected representatives... and then get ready to fix it together.
