🚨10 years after Paris: As far as the recent past is any indication of the future, I don't expect we will see the 3-year average going down below +1.5°C much ever again...
I posted this 2 years ago. After which we experienced 2 years of 1.6°C above the Paris' pre-industrial (1850-1900) baseline. We expected a big jump in global warming because greenhouse gas emissions keep increasing, aerosols decreased and Earth's Energy Imbalance had doubled.

It takes 1,000–2,000 years to naturally form just 1 cm of topsoil. We’re losing it 10–40× faster than it forms. Once the soil is gone, gold won’t grow your food.

🏔️ Glaciers lost 450 gigatons of water in 2024. This is enough to form a block of ice 7 km tall, 7 km wide, and 7 km deep or to fill 180 million Olympic swimming pools. Help us amplify #Glaciers2025: we need urgent climate action now. 🔗 https://t.co/PARXg4bXZG

We talk about species extinction, but the real story is ecosystem extinction. When ecosystems disappear, they take thousands of species with them, named or not. Most of those losses never enter a database.

Here's the 3-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly for the past 75 years of data, now at 1.51°C over pre-industrial. Where is this going over the next 75 years? The Climate 8-ball is moving to its bunker in New Zealand.

And if you think aquaculture is an alternative to industrial fishing, the number one consumer of krill is the fish feed manufacturing sector.
Chinese fishing firm Kaichuang reports nearly 200% increase in krill catch in Antarctica with profits jumping 270% Absolutely disgusting they are taking essential food from the whales and penguins and leaving them to starve Krill also play a vital role in regulating the global
