Striking map from a new study by Lenton et al.: after 2.7 °C global warming the purple areas will basically be too hot to live. A billion people could be on the move to cooler lands. Guardian article: theguardian.com/environment/20… The study (open access): nature.com/articles/s4189…

Ja, es gibt einen Klimawandel – das wissen alle. Aber dass sich dieser Klimawandel gerade beschleunigt und die Experten nicht genau wissen, warum? Das wissen viel zu wenige. Sieben Grafiken, die zeigen, dass ein besonderer klimatischer Moment begonnen hat. 🧵

I'm ecstatic to share that preorders are now open for the AI Snake Oil book! The book will be released on September 24, 2024. Arvind Narayanan and I have been working on this for the past two years, and we can't wait to share it with the world. Preorder: princeton.press/awecv19z

This is terrifying. Not the headline... I'm familiar with the science. No, what's terrifying is how far I had to dig through my news notifications to find this story. What's terrifying is that this headline is not #trending on every social media platform. 1/4

Kurzer Thread zu meinem neuen Paper. Es geht um die Atlantikzirkulation (#AMOC genannt), die riesige Wärmemengen in den nördlichen Atlantik schafft. Schwächt sie sich ab, kühlt sich der Atlantik westlich der britischen Inseln ab. Und der warme Golfstrom rückt näher an die

Earth Day messaging is still stuck at the "recycle harder" level, when what we need is the "sue & disrupt the fossil fuel industry out of existence and put the executives who've spread lies in prison, as billions of lives and life on Earth is at risk" level

Prof Mann is considered to be one of the most optimistic senior climate scientists. Some scientists say too optimistic. And he says it’s really bad. Please read his words carefully. It’s far worse than you think: youtu.be/2Jq23mSDh9U?si… Bill Maher Guy Oseary Piers Morgan

Jetzt haben auch die NASA-Daten für die letzten 12 Monate die 1,5 °C überschritten. Wenn der schwarze Langzeittrend über die 1,5 Grad geht ist das Paris-Ziel gerissen. Alle Staaten hatten sich 2015 zu Anstrengungen verpflichtet, es einzuhalten. Wo sind sie?

Lieber Herr Merz, ich bin Ingenieur und Erfinder und ich kann Ihnen ganz genau sagen, wie wir unsere Klimaziele erreichen. Wir brauchen: - Solarenergie - Windenergie - Batteriespeicher - Stromnetze u.v.m. Die Politik muss die passenden Rahmenbedingungen dafür setzen.

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis

“What the fuck do we have to do to get through to people how bad this really is?” Btw, my response was a warming of 3C, in line with many of my IPCC colleagues… theguardian.com/environment/ng…

"What the fuck do we have to do to get through to people how bad this really is?" Well (and I indict myself here too), you see the kids protesting on behalf of Gazans? See how they risk their careers? DO THAT. And then do it again and again. theguardian.com/environment/ng…

I've long said we're at risk of losing essentially everything due to global heating - all of modern life, much of life on Earth, billions of human lives, our super habitable planet. More and more climate scientists are coming to see this. Please start listening
