Some people think climate change is “far worse than scientists predicted!” But that’s not really true. Climate science has *accurately* predicted what’s happening for many, many decades now. The brilliant Dr. Kate Marvel @drkatemarvel.bsky.social explains…

🚨 Scientists have been warning for more than a century that catastrophic weather events were inevitable if humanity kept emitting GHG's. But is it worse than even they expected? Climate scientist @drkatemarvel.bsky.social shares her expert perspective in our latest Insights: https://bit.ly/4wsYPMw

Scientists warned you about: ♨️ more/longer/hotter heatwaves (hot planet=hot weather) 🌀 stronger storms (warm water=hurricane food) 🌧️ downpours (warm air holds more water vapor) 🌵 droughts (warm air is thirstier) 🔥 fire weather (hotter, drier) 🌊 sea level rise (land ice melts, warm water expands)

There are a LOT of proposed solutions to climate change out there. But how do you know what actually works? And what doesn’t? Check out the Drawdown Explorer. It’s based on real evidence — not hype, greenwashing, or ideology. And it’s 100% open and free. Drawdown.org/explorer

“DAC at the scale needed is mostly a fantasy” It is VERY USEFUL for scientists to say this out loud, as much as possible, since blind faith in carbon removal is one of the baseless ideologies justifying the continuation of fossil-fuel use among global policymakers.

DAC at the scale needed is mostly a fantasy. It might have some marginal use in sopping up the last dregs of CO2 emissions (if that), but the main job is still to get emissions down by at least 90%. But however expensive it turns out to be, it should be the fossil fuel companies that pay for DAC,

Oil companies are projected to see big profits in Q2 from higher oil prices linked to the Iran war... Now calls for a U.S. windfall oil tax are growing. This tax - @whitehouse.senate.gov tells @npr.org - wouldn't have the same issues the windfall oil tax in '80s had 🛢️👀 More ⬇️ only on @npr.org 🎧📻🛢️

Oil companies are making billions. In the U.S., calls to tax their windfall are growing

Higher oil prices since the Iran war began mean many oil companies have brought in excess profits. Some U.S. lawmakers want to tax those windfall profits and give the money to lower-income Americans.
