Is the Atlantic Overturning Circulation approaching a tipping point? You can watch my 1-hour lecture at noon Iceland time, 1 pm London time, 2 pm Berlin time, 8 am New York time. The announcement below has a link to the live stream. english.hi.is/events/is_the_…

It is October 16, 2024. 30 degrees Celsius in France with storms and rainfall of around 350 liters per square meter. Quote: “There has never been such rainfall in living memory.”

689mm = 2ft 3ins "The Cévennes episode is coming to an end. The accumulations over two days were exceptional, reaching up to 689 mm in Mayres in Ardèche and 562 mm in Villefort in Lozère!"

"In the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, the increase in the content of precipitable water in the atmosphere is astonishing to say the least, + even more so in the last year. The increase is very marked, particularly in this western Pacific - eastern Atlantic perimeter"

A reminder that heavy precipitation events are on the rise as a result of #globalwarming due to burning fossil fuels. Have you checked how flood-proof your house is in case of an unprecedented rainfall event? They will be getting ever worse until we reach net zero emissions.

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

The main driver of AMOC slow down is freshwater ice melting off the Greenland ice sheet making seawater less salty. Like sand thrown into a well oiled engine. Prof Jason Box Prof. Jason Box showed me how the official models don’t capture how quickly that ice is melting.

This is a Karmijn de Sonnaville apple. Described as one of the apples for the 21st century. There is one predator on the apple, and evidence of a second one, which has stayed in the orchard. Anyone hazard a guess on the second predator? Both control aphids.

For humanity to thrive, nature must flourish. ‌ Destroying nature inflames conflict, hunger & disease, fuels poverty, inequality & the climate crisis. ‌ The Global Biodiversity Framework promises to reset relations with Earth. ‌ The task of #COP16Colombia is to convert words into

One feature of global warming is the *energy imbalance* of the Earth: we are absorbing more energy from the sun than we send back to space in form of thermal radiation. If Earth’s climate were in equilibrium, these two numbers would exactly balance. The main reason they don’t is

Yesterday 44 of the world’s leading climate scientists wrote an open letter about collapse of the Atlantic Ocean’s circulation (AMOC) When I interviewed one of them about the consequences of AMOC reaching a tipping point he could barely keep it together. 🧵

Here is the Reuters story about the open letter by 44 experts warning about the serious risk of an #AMOC collapse. I had the honor to present it to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik on Saturday.

New UNEP emissions gap report highlights a "massive gap between rhetoric and reality" and calls for a "quantum leap" in ambition to deliver Paris goals, as the world is way off-track today. I cover the details over at Carbon Brief: carbonbrief.org/unep-new-clima…

Annual greenhouse gas emissions reached an all-time high last year. Either leaders bridge the emissions gap, or we plunge headlong into climate disaster – with the poorest and most vulnerable suffering the most. unep.org/resources/emis…
