"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"

“We have stood at people’s doorsteps as they realize nitrate may have caused their miscarriages or cancers. People can’t sell or refinance their homes. They are stuck and sick; they are tired of polluters getting away with theft of their health and wealth.”

The #GreatOhioClimateMarch sounds like lots and lots of fun, and a source of real power!
It's very hot, El Niño will make it hotter, and the latest science shows more danger of Atlantic currents collapsing.
Other than that, it's going great!

Pope Leo could not have been much more forthright:
Third Act NC in Belmont!
Graham Hughes, Advocacy Director, Climate Solutions Accelerator, Genesee-Finger Lakes Region:
“If the CLCPA is not implemented, people in our region will be harmed by increased emissions, and we’ll lose out on so many of the benefits that would come from a transition to a clean energy economy.”
Hausfather's recent blog said methane's influence was only for 10 years, that of CO2 10,000 years. That's a huge exaggeration. A pulse of methane has real climate impacts for 40+ years, and those from CO2 are declining by 20% after 100 years. Figure below is based on IPCC 2013.
The weaker President Donald Trump is, the better our chances of survival, writes @billmckibben.bsky.social.
