Gro Harlem Brundtland, the Norwegian PM who defined 'sustainable development' in 1987, led the country through its oil boom. In May 2026 Norway 🇳🇴 opened 70 new exploration blocks, 38 in the Arctic Barents Sea. It plans to keep producing for decades, even as the planet burns 🔥

Since 1989, the CO₂ from #Norway 🇳🇴 oil has outweighed everything the country has emitted at home in its entire history. Now at 13.8 Gt from the crude, against 2.8 Gt of national emissions since 1751. Counting gas too, it is 20 Gt.

One important caveat: the models have never been verified in this territory. They have real, demonstrated skill at this lead time for ordinary events, but no ensemble has ever forecast a 3.5C El Niño because one has never happened. We are both figuratively and literally in uncharted waters.

With all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C). www.theclimatebrink....

Good for India. There is all too much sloppiness, even amongst scientists who know better, about so-called "tipping points." Too much hype, too little precision, but meanwhile the much more certain and predictable inexorable march of global warming is plenty dangerous enough to justify action.

Nice explainer, though article is behind a paywall. 'Tipping Point' is a very ambiguous term. It is hard to define mathematically (concepts like stability or multiple equilibria are used). Though, 'Tipping Point' is an easy & catchy term, therefore used & abused!

"For a generation, people learning how to address global warming were taught the ideas in the “Wedges” paper. What they didn’t learn was this: “Wedges” was significantly shaped by the British oil giant BP — one of the single global entities most responsible for causing climate change."
