Earth just experienced its hottest summer in recorded history, beating the previous record set last summer. Unprecedented warmth with clear links to climate change.

Massive Warming in Russia near Arctic what will this do to permafrost Carbon storage? Will we rethink our strategies, have we ever had one or just pretend to do so.

After years and years of media reports that coal is having a comeback in the UK the last coal plant will go offline in just 2 weeks. Coal in the UK is no more. Credit for graph to I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky

This changes everything📈. The Northern Hemisphere's Energy Imbalance. The most important NASA data you've never heard about. The northern half of our planet started to absorb much more heat from the sun than it radiates to space. These are absolute values (not anomalies):

For the first time Patient Earth goes through a full Health Check. The verdict is clear - the patient is in critical condition. The 1st Planetary health check gives us the quantitative diagnosis required to guide the transformations for a safe landing pik-potsdam.de/en/institute/d…

Electrification is efficiency. When we electrify our energy systems coupled with clean electricity, something remarkable occurs: significant inefficiencies disappear. As a result, in a decarbonized world, our overall energy final demand will be much lower than it is today.

What is a climate tipping point? Here my 60-second explanation at the New York Times Climate Forward last week. If you want to know more about the tipping point of the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC, on which I've worked for over 30 years, watch this: youtu.be/ZHNNW8c_FaA?si…

Devastating hurricanes, heatwaves, floods, and wildfires - we are entering uncharted waters, and cannot exclude environmental chaos as the 2024 State of the Climate Report shows. Important new report out now.

The IEA's #1 flagship report, and the bible of the energy transition. So, what's new? My key takeaways...

44 experts from 15 countries issued a stark warning about the dangers of crossing an ocean circulation tipping point, in an open letter to the Nordic Council of Ministers. I had the honor to present it to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson yesterday. #AMOC

Nature and climate are on the line. The scientific evidence for countries to address the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change has never been clearer, argue Razan Al Mubarak, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion COP28 Climate High-Level Champions and I. impact.economist.com/sustainability…

This graph highlights the urgent need for equitable resource access. If that alone doesn't inspire action, perhaps the fact that material usage has nearly doubled will? To address this, we must shift toward circularity and move away from the linear "take, make, use, lose" model.

A fantastic example of AI's impact on agriculture.

Did you know how much of the power generation capacity added each year world-wide was in renewables? 2022 it was 80 % 2023 it was 86 % 2024 it was 92,5 % Not because the whole world suddenly turned „woke“, but because it’s the cheapest!

This is Trump’s Easter message. Someone tell him - Easter is about Jesus. It is the day Christ rose from the dead. Trump-evangelicalism is a cult. You cannot serve two masters. Follow Jesus… not Trump. Christ is King. Donald Trump is not. Hallelujah!

The primary energy fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with equivalent amount of clean energy. BUT: Not necessary because conversion losses don’t need to be replaced. 2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat.
