Fantastic new "Summary for all" of the IPCC #AR6 report "The physical science basis" (ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/). Many key messages summarised simply and clearly. Elle Leitzke Sarah Connors Dr Anna Pirani @valmasdel -> Can be downloaded here: ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1…

there are a few times a year when broadcasters care about the accelerating demise of a hospitable planet so here are some tips for climate scientists doing tv and radio interviews to use airtime effectively 1/

A good piece by Hiroko Tabuchi on the danger of rich countries taking (often dubiously additional) low cost emission reductions from poorer ones instead of doing the hard work to reduce their own emissions: nytimes.com/2022/11/07/cli…

world leaders said they'd try to stop the earth heating 1.5 degrees celsius but their policies will nearly double that (2.7c) and their action plans - excluding bits conditional on support from rich countries - give a 1-in-3 chance of passing 3c and a >5% chance of passing 4c (!)

Nuclear #fusion will not only come too late to help solve the #climatecrisis. Even in the long run it will not be the unlimited energy source that some are dreaming of. The reason is basic physics, and anyone can do the back-of-envelope calculation. 🧵1/

This is getting a lot of negative attention, but I think the banana is a well-chosen example on many fronts. Here's a thread sketching why limited access to bananas in temperate regions in the future might be unavoidable and might not be so bad. 🧵

1/ The penny is finally starting to drop that economists have catastrophicly underestimated the risk from #ClimateBreakdown. Here's a🧵 of the latest reports that those working in finance urgently need to catch up on... Starting with Chatham House: chathamhouse.org/2023/07/climat…

In this ethnographic study of climate change and its impacts on Bangladesh, Camelia Dewan, PhD @cameliadewan.bsky.social offers a vitally important corrective to simplistic narratives of global warming. 1/n Thread 👇🏾

According to the #IPCC AR6 Synthesis Report, to limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', then global CO2 emissions decline: * 48% in 6 years * 80% in 14 years * 99% in 24 years (thanks David Ho for reminding me to remind people) ipcc.ch/report/sixth-a…

To limit global warming to '1.5°C with no or limited overshoot', the decline in global CO2 emissions relative to 2019 are: * 48% by 2030 * 80% by 2040 * 99% by 2050 It is 2023 & global CO2 emissions are still rising! ipcc.ch/report/sixth-a…

Good afternoon (or morning, or evening). I went dark yesterday, really dark. But I managed to sleep and I have some clarity about the Al Ahli hospital massacre that I want to share with you. I'll only tweet this rambling thread today and then log off. Please read and share.
