"On the feasibility of #glacier preservation" - the title of my World view just out in Nature Water nature.com/articles/s4422… Simple take-away: No, we can't preserve glaciers artificially at larger scales! But yes, we can partly save them by limiting CO2-emissions.

Rising seas will cause more frequent coastal flooding For some Pacific states, floods will go from <5 days a yr in 1980-2010s, to once a fortnight on average by 2050, and every 2-3 DAYS(!) in worst case! Info in new report by António Guterres #Climate Team is truly terrifying

This is basically the whole climate thing in a nutshell. Rich people setting fire to the world: buff.ly/3RFI1Qf No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

Rock #glaciers in the western USA have accelerated 2–3 fold over the past 60-70 years due to increasing air temperatures. Warming has likely decreased the viscosity of the frozen debris through ground warming and meltwater infiltration. nature.com/articles/s4146…

30° yesterday in SE England. 30° has been recorded in September in 4 out of the last 5 years. During the 20th Century 30° was an unusual one in ten year event on average.

Wow 😢

In charts: How climate change is driving up food prices around the world Brilliant analysis as always from Carbon Brief carbonbrief.org/five-charts-ho…

Yo Yale Environment 360 please check your sources. The vast majority of scientists is 100% against such maladaptation projects.

Highlights Biggest ever auction. 3GW massive amount of solar Biggest floating offshore wind project in world 3.5GW of new offshore wind, 1.6GW of AR4 offshore through (5.1GW total). 1GW onshore £58m for offshore wind £50 for onshore   assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66d5c7ee…

Record breaking result for latest renewables auction. 131 projects including: ☑️World's largest commercial-scale floating offshore wind project ☑️Contracts for the largest & second largest wind farms in Europe ☑️115 solar & onshore wind projects Powering 11 million homes 🏡

Just Ed Miliband making Richard Tice look v silly over renewable energy x

I repeat: Do NOT get your climate science from a self-styled feline defecation! Get it from NASA instead: science.nasa.gov/earth/climate-…

The recent export figures look interesting. Between January and July 2024, #AZE 🇦🇿 exported to the #UK🇬🇧 650,1 tonnes of crude oil 🛢️and oil products, amounting to $390 million, which is 3.5 times higher than in 2023. As of today, the 🇬🇧 is the seventh biggest importer of Azeri

Moody weather on a dying #glacier. We conducted GLAMOS measurements on Plaine Morte today. "Dark" is the best word to describe our impressions. Despite lots of snow in winter, the ice loss was substantial - once again 😢

Highly interesting structures in #glacier ice. No, it's not a borehole but fully natural. Any idea how this formed? Maybe a recrystallised, deformed crevasse?

The terminus of Vadret da Morteratsch, largest #glacier of Eastern 🇨🇭, has completely changed in just 1 year. What used to be a gentle edge of the ice has retreated into a vertical 20 m ice wall with a river/lake in front. Scenic, but another brutal expression of climate change

I am running out of words to describe how absurd August 2024 was in Svalbard. Reaching an average temperature of 11°C in August would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. This is totally bonkers.
