BREAKING NEWS

March 2024 saw atmospheric carbon dioxide levels 4.7 ppm up on 12 months earlier - the largest ever recorded year-on-year increase

We are now at 426ppm. When I was born it was 313ppm

Terrifying. No other word does this awful news justice.

“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…

Very excited for the start of the first ever Amsterdam Complexity School on #Climate Change Amsterdam Complexity School on Climate Change

I'll be shareing insights from the week I this thread 🧵

Barriers in rivers act like blocked and clogged arteries in humans; they slowly kill.

When they are taken away, life returns in droves and water quality improves.

Wow, only 8 days after it happened!
Rapid weather attribution analysis for the Dubai intense rainfall & flooding event. Rainfall and impacts more intense due to: climate change, El Niño, & lack of precautionary urban planning.

With new scientific research and updated mapping imagery, the EPA had updated calculations for emissions from smaller-scale domestic peat harvesting.

The new data puts emissions on a par with aviation.

Fully expect (not) to see this sort of campaign material from all progressive parties in Ireland. ⬇️

'Since their invention, cars and automobility have killed 60–80 million people and injured at least 2 billion'

You know how all those demanding the right to keep on wrecking the climate always say, 'But Ireland only makes a tiny contribution to global emissions'?

Well, funnily enough, so do all those demanding the right to keep on wrecking the climate everywhere else.

Scam argument.

Tomorrow the authors of Ireland's Climate Change Assessment (ICCA) report will present and discuss the findings of the report at a meeting of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment and Climate Action #ICCA #climateaction

1/4 This is a very good development. We have been raising this issue since the scenario details were made public by the IPCC after the publication of the AR6 working group reports. The paper quoted in the article can be found here. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

.Hannah Daly responds to the question -

How can Ireland rapidly decarbonise to meet carbon budgets?

The hill burning begins. Sad. Lots of birds like Skylark, Meadow Pipit nesting on ground in these habs now. Other animals like Leverets & frogs also impacted. Carbon released. Air qual impacted. Hopefully Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine National Parks and Wildlife Service Malcolm Noonan T.D. Charlie McConalogue follow up ASAP.

Incredibly disturbing account of how livestock industry has nobbled ⁦FAO⁩, which is actively misrepresenting scientific evidence to deflect focus from sector’s massive emissions impacts.

Happening in Ireland too, aka the “Dublin Declaration”.
