It’s been six months since I posted this (semi-viral?) thread👇

So let’s take a renewed look: How has the debate between these two competing “climate urgency science narratives” evolved over the last half year?
🧵

Short 🧵 of great accounts that post solid science and info about #climatechange . Every one of them is worth a follow for #ClimateAction folks, #ClimateBrawl pals and anyone else who wants regular updates on the #ClimateCrisis and what we can do about it.

Thanks to BONUS!

Code Yikes!

The North Atlantic SST anomaly is up over 1.0°C again for the first time since last October.

Luckily, I already extended the y-axis last June.

I can't believe I have to say these things in 2024:

Vaccines work.
Humans are responsible for global heating.
The Earth is a globe.
The global COVID-19 response was needed.
GMO food is fine.
5G radiation is less energetic than the photons coming from your screen right now.

#ClimateChange 🌡️ is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions 🏭

We’re causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes

We are taking Earth’s 🌎 climate beyond natural limits with carbon dioxide & temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years

'The extremes we have observed over the last few months provide a dramatic testimony of how far we now are from the climate in which our civilization developed.'

Saving the Great Barrier Reef requires:
'a reduction in global greenhouse emissions to stabilise temperatures, best practice mgmt of local pressures, and the development of interventions to help reefs adapt to and recover from effects of climate change.'

It's a start...

Deniers: 'No global warming since yesterday!!'

Ever wondered how many oil wells are near you?

This interactive map let's you see the financial, environmental, and health impact of oil wells on your community.

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

Plants do not 'LOVE' CO2.

We're not going to make it, are we?

'What happens in the next two decades will very likely define the future of biodiversity and H. sapiens'

Economic doom-growth in the 2020s/30s means habitat annihilation and the poisoning and overkilling of species via industrial agriculture/fishing, etc.
