"The science is evolving quite rapidly and time is running out to do anything about it because the tipping point may well be quite close," says PIK's @rahmstorf in this piece on Iceland declaring the potential collapse of the #AMOC a national security risk. đ
Iceland has declared threat to Atlantic Ocean current a national security risk, a potential collapse of which could trigger a modern-day ice age, with winter temperatures across Northern Europe plummeting to new cold extremes https://t.co/33MOWrq2aS

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead. Graph: https://t.co/UNaqGEKMQc

We must hold on to 1.5°C, but that means governments need to do far more. With emissions still rising, the only path left is to return below 1.5°C after a temporary overshoot. A brief reflection with my PIK colleagues on where we stand and the road ahead:

Even limiting global warming to 1.6â1.8C would require far stronger policies to reduce fossil fuel emissions than those currently adopted by governments, which would allow the world to heat by at least 2.7°C, says PIK Director @jrockstrom at #COP30.

10bn tonnes must be captured from the air every year to limit global heating to 1.7C, says Johan Rockström

What science tells negotiators at #COP30: The 1.5°C limit will very likely be breached within the next decade. People are already suffering from extreme events. Science shows a path back is still possible. New blog article on what needs to happen next. https://t.co/z72jkqqGJ8

Loopholes in the EUâs new 2040 climate deal risk undermining the path to net-zero, says PIK director Edenhofer: "a political compromise that at least keeps the 2050 target within reach", âbut the risk of not achieving it has, of course, now increased." https://t.co/FI5MfHo3Gd
