Breaking: New study using observational constraints projects that the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC will weaken ~50% by 2100, even for medium emissions and without Greenland melting. 🌊
More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected.

According to the dealer’s website, “Although the sitter’s identity is unknown at present, he was evidently part of Beale’s close circle of ecclesiastical patrons. The boy is shown dressed in classical robes and seated in a verdant landscape, gesturing to a steepled church in the distant landscape; the subject is ostensibly secular, albeit one with Christian undertones. During a time heavily influenced by religious beliefs, subtle allusions to faith were frequently incorporated into portraiture. In this instance, the young boy is shown with a lamb and crook, attributes of St John the Baptist, who lived an austere life in the wilderness.” Also, a white dog with brown ears sits on the ground, next to the boy’s left knee.

A portrait mode oil painting depicting the Annunciation. The setting seems to be a courtyard - a built structure with openings to the outdoors above and also through an arch in the back wall. At the right, Mary kneels at a little desk in an alcove, with her hands crossed over her breast. At the left, the Archangel Gabriel kneels on his right knee, holding a stalk of white lilies in his left hand (which rest on his bent left knee) and raising his right hand in benediction. From the top left corner, 5 parallel gold lines descend diagonally toward Mary's head, representing beams of light; a white dove rides the beams toward Mary.

Earth being ‘pushed beyond its limits’ as energy imbalance reaches record high State of the Climate report finds Earth’s energy has moved dangerously out of balance, with oceans absorbing vast majority of trapped heat

Every responsible decision maker in politics, industry etc. should read this. Or better yet the original WMO report it’s about (linked in the article).
And then think very seriously:
What am I doing to stop this?
Is it enough?
How do I want to be remembered?

A color illustration of three chipmunks against a bluish night backdrop lit with glowing orbs (from plants?). At the right, a tiny fairy holds onto a forked stick that is planted in the ground, gazing up at a chipmunk who leaps through the two prongs. At left another chipmunk, portrayed from the side, stands on gray mushrooms and looks up at the leaper. In about the middle of the illustration, the third chipmunk sits on a red and white toadstool, facing the viewer head on.

Heftig: Nirgendwo auf der Welt schneit es morgen so stark wie auf den Bergen im Tessin 🇨🇭 und im Piemont 🇮🇹.
Bis Sonntagfrüh kommen hier an die 120cm Schnee zusammen.
Bei uns schneit es in Vorarlberg und in Tirol teilweise bis ganz herunter - oben fallen 10 bis 30cm Schnee.

A gold-framed half-length portrait of a girl with powdered hair, seated. on her left arm hangs an open basket full of fruit, probably apples. Her right arm is bent to hold a lapdog with brown eyes and very long white and brown hair (shih tzu?). Her gown is light blue with darker blue stripes on the sleeves; there is white lace at the low, rounded neckline and at the ends of the sleeves.

Die schädlichste Umwelt-Lüge von allen ist, dass wir uns zwischen Wirtschaft und Klima entscheiden müssen. Klimafeindlichkeit hat die europäische PV- und Windkraftindustrie nach China vertrieben, jetzt machen wir die Wärmepumpentechnik kaputt. Wir zerstören Wirtschaft, um Klima zerstören zu können.

A vertically narrow rectangular still life painting of fruits and vegetables on a wood or stone surface. At left on a plate is a cardoon in front of a pear. In front of the plate, sitting directly on the surface, is a slice of lemon or orange and a couple of carrots with fronts still attached. At right is fruit (oranges?) in a bowl lined with a white cloth that spills out from the bowl onto the table. The cloth is edged with semi-circles of lace. There are little white flowers on stems sprinkled through the vegetable and fruits.

Geplante Lockerungen der EU: Emissionshandel hat als Klimaschutzinstrument versagt Ökonomen schwärmten immer vom Emissionshandel als kapitalismusfreundliche Lösung für den Klimawandel. Nun ist klar: Das hat nicht funktioniert.

Der Emissionshandel sollte die marktwirtschaftliche Lösung der Klimakrise sein - und sie funktioniert. Nun soll Lobbydruck all die Firmen bestrafen, die entsprechend investiert haben, und die Versager belohnen.
Das darf nicht wahr sein 🤯!
