🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨

NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space.

Global sea levels have been underestimated due to poor modelling, research suggests Analysis shows average levels are 30cm higher than thought, and up to 150cm in south-east Asia and Indo-Pacific

„…The new calculations reveal that following a relative sea level rise of 1 metre, it is estimated that 37% more coastal areas will fall below sea level, affecting up to 132 million individuals….“ #climate

Absolutely incredibly news from the world's largest emitter. The tide really might be beginning to turn on fossil fuels.

🆕 study: Global warming must stay below 2°C and return to 1.5°C as quickly as possible to reduce tipping point risks. In the long term, temperatures must cool to 1°C above pre-industrial levels, researchers from @exeter.ac.uk, @cicero.oslo.no and PIK find.
