As climate change increases, so does the likelihood that countries or private entities dabble with #SolarGeoengineering. As with any other technology with huge potential for damage, international regulation is key - or at least a conversation on the issue. climatechangenews.com/2023/01/18/mex…

Moderating a briefing on 4 Regional Climate Weeks in 2023 at the #BonnClimateConference #SB58 yesterday. Such weeks are about fostering regional #ClimateAction and building partnerships - I appreciated the genuinely constructive atmosphere bit.ly/3X4PFVS.

Interesting visualization, which explains why we are experiencing persistent very hot and dry weather right now in Europe, following by many weeks of cool weather and rain. Both phenomena are the direct result of a much more wavy #JetSteam, weakened by #ClimateChange.

I never thought the Twitter blue bird would disappear before the actual platform, but it’s actually good @Twitter has a new #XTwitter logo that helps illustrate how different the mutated platform is from the original concept. But I still miss you, blue bird 💙

I see a lot of despair given the way our once quite stable climate is unraveling. IRENA says we need to build approx. the equivalent of 2000 nuclear power stations a year (in the form of safe, cheap renewables) to prevent the worst climate impacts. Surely the obvious way to go?

2023 is the year that, in terms of the climate, everything changes, given the stunning leaps in global temperatures and sea ice loss. I believe it will also be a watershed year for #ClimateAction. No sane person can be entirely impervious to what is happening.

From an evolutionary point of view, we are programmed to protect our children. So surely there must now be a massive shift away from fossil fuels and deforestation that result in heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions.news.un.org/en/story/2023/…

The new normal is to be locked into weeks of wet weather (often with flooding) or weeks of hot, dry weather. There is no going back, and things will get a whole lot worse if the rise in greenhouse gas emissions is left unchecked. #JetStream #ClimateLiteracy

The world uses about 100 million barrels of oil per day. With a 🛢 height of 85 cm, 100 million barrels laid end to end would have a total length of 85,000 km! This would go around the world twice and we'd have 5.5 million barrels to spare.
