What they don't teach you about heatwaves: It's not just heat. It's: • Your crops dying • Your river drying (Rhine is low again, disrupting shipping) • Your lungs burning from wildfire smoke • Your power grid collapsing It's everything at once.
The most important task of humanity: We have to become a species that can very fast draw out massive amounts of GHGs We will need some >100Gt of C per year as we have to be fast Thereby, only innovation can save us One problem: exponential mass loss and geologic methane feedback from both poles

This is our world approaching 1.5C above preindustrial temperatures. We’re on track for 3C, even 4C, across the coming decades. “In our lifetimes, maybe even relatively soon, we will start seeing heatwaves with death tolls in their millions” NASA Scientist, Peter Kalmus

Scientists have warned us that our planet is hotter than it’s been in 125,000 years. That CO2 levels are their highest in millions. Yet as fires rage & people die, our governments remain in the pocket of fossil fuel corporations. Every flame is a deliberate political choice.
This is a scary fact: "The rise in observed temperatures in France has outpaced projections made by climate models, with June maximum temperatures more in line with what was expected for the 2070s." It's going to get worse. www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-f...

'The energy imbalance “suggests that the models may also be under-predicting future warming,”' And many scientists have been denying the acceleration of global warming altogether.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · last mo.Good news: We can tell you how much the globe will warm if we continue to burn fossil fuels and emit CO₂ at an alarming rate. Bad news: We’re terrible at telling you how bad the impacts will be, and they’re consistently worse than we predicted.

“Yes, this is climate change,” said Friederike Otto, a professor at Imperial College London and a co-author of the study. “Yes, it’s us, no, it’s not El Nino, yes, we have the solutions, no, we’re not implementing them fast enough.” 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
