Many have been asking me "if we should put sulphur back in the shipping fuel?". I cover this, and the point of future desulphurization of India's coal plants here. Would it buy us time? What would we use that time for? Let's take reality into account! x.com/LeonSimons8/st…

Baseline used to determine how much our planet has warmed helps understand how this compares to climate of the past. For example in the Eemian, when sea levels were ~6-9 meters higher than today. We already reach temperatures above most estimates of the Eemian!

The Netherlands is officially experiencing a heatwave. 🇳🇱🌡📈 It's the 31st heatwave since 1901. 15 of which occurred since 2000. Implying an increase of ~300%!

The rain will bring welcome relief after the heatwave. Especially to those without the means to keep their homes cool. Hopefully the rainflooding in the East and South of the Netherlands won't be too severe.

Which climate scenario will we track? Even with CO₂ emissions lower than SSP5-8.5, we are tracking and could continue to track above 'the worst case scenario'. When we continue to decrease aerosols, emit more and more methane and with failing carbon sinks.
