The Nepal and Tibet flood is a warning: melting snow and ice will bring more disasters around the world | Bill McGuire

In Alaska, the Himalayas, the Andes, Greenland, and perhaps also the Alps, deadly chain reactions are just waiting to be triggered, says climate professor Bill McGuire

Yep.

It’s the old “live for today and to hell with tomorrow” philosophy. Perhaps that would be acceptable if only our own species were affected—we chose this path. But we have no right to “cook” countless other species simply because of the choices we’ve made. Their fate shouldn’t be ours to decide.

Because we aren’t lowering our carbon emissions, it will only get worse each year and its consequences will be globally devastating for marine life and our climate. Considering that we know how to stop this, it’s just insane that we continue to do nothing about it.

When marine heat waves and ocean acidification events strike together, it’s a double whammy that can affect fisheries and sea creatures. New #AGUPubs research examines these dual events. 🧪🌊 eos.org/research-spo...

Why Marine Heat Waves and Acidification Strike Together - Eos

A chemistry tug-of-war between ocean acidity and carbon in warming oceans determines when and where these damaging events strike.

There have been some updates since 2024 that revise the number down a tad (e.g. Berkeley Earth's high resolution dataset has less warming since preindustrial), so our latest estimate of 2024 anomalies is 1.53C across those six datasets.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NoBranchWood. This pileated woodpecker was clinging to a tree trunk, not a branch. So, technically this fits? Hope so! #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #ECK #birds #Birdsky #birders #NikonZ8 #Telephoto #conservation #nature

Looks perfectly normal to me.

Iran's foreign ministry denied on Monday that negotiations with Washington were taking place, but Trump insisted they were. "We are talking right now," he said. It’s hard to tell who is telling the truth here 🤣🤣. But someone just might be making a killing in the stock market this week.

By advocating for the denial of the true causes behind increasingly severe wildfires, the right is also trying to condemn their own children and grandchildren to a future of a changing climate that will increasingly do its best to threaten their health, livelihoods, and even their lives.

🧵Right-leaning newspapers are trying to blame Europe's raging wildfires on everything EXCEPT fossil fuels 1. The Wall Street Journal Frontpage story: "Greece fights wildfires as Europe crisis spreads" WSJ editorial: "How green policies fuel fires in Europe"

Climate Scientists Feel Your Pain, Dr. Fauci

I, too, have received death threats. I, too, have endured attacks from those who feel threatened by science. Yet we cannot submit to the forces of politics and profit. The stakes are too high.

At the most consequential moment in human history, as climate change accelerates and pushes us toward irreversible tipping points, the world’s wealthiest nation is led by an administration that dismisses the global climate crisis and weakens efforts to confront it. Just bad luck for our biosphere.

Previous Presidents were reluctant to launch a direct attack on Iran—they understood the potential for long-term instability. The fossil fuel industry has little incentive to see prolonged spikes in oil prices because higher fuel costs push less expensive alternatives like clean, renewable energy.

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

NEW: Big Oil and Gas created the myth that natural gas is "clean" — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane decades earlier than previously reported. A major CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution.

Yep.

Home ground of the Mets is enveloped in wildfire smoke tonight. The World Cup final is happening near by on Sunday…

Increased weather extremes with climate warming and destabilization of the polar jet have been predicted for a long time. We are now clearly experiencing this! ⬇️

I think we, climate physicists, have overlooked something with respect to climatic instabilities... their effect on weather variability... I believe this will be the main problem for our society and economy for the next three generations to come... at least... www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why is AC so rare in much of Europe? Well, until recently it simply wasn't hot enough to need it. Here is the average number of days above 30C (86F) for major cities over time:

All climate scientists think global warming is happening. At the same time, "Americans who think global warming is happening outnumber those who think it is not by a ratio of more than 4 to 1 (68% versus 16%)." Hard to miss the impacts these days. climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications...

Climate change means an earlier spring, which can be disorienting and threatening for migrating birds

Birds that migrate longer distances are the ones having the most trouble keeping up with climate change.

Future global warming will inevitably affect Earth’s carrying capacity for people. The magnitude of that impact will depend largely on how quickly the world phases out fossil fuels. The longer we delay, the more severe the consequences for our children and grandchildren lives.

In a sane world there would be International Arrest Warrants naming every Oil, Gas & Coal billionaire for climate crimes against humanity

"The fish have become a living proxy of the Colorado River's health. When they struggle, it often means the river itself is struggling. And in 2026, nearly every indicator is flashing red." @lukerunyon.bsky.social www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/...

A river crisis is unfolding in the American West

The Colorado has been struggling for decades. This summer could bring it to the brink, threatening endangered wildlife and communities.

We need to start electing leaders who are willing to take meaningful action to phase out our dependence on fossil fuels. And if we continue on our current path, our climate will become a devastating force, threatening billions of people’s lives & placing Earth’s biosphere under unprecedented stress.

Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused #climatechange. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of #climate change.

For the first time on record, solar generated more electricity than coal across the entire U.S. - despite active federal policy pushing the other direction. Read more at the link below!
