The death toll from this week’s devastating floods in south-east Spain has now risen to over 200. Human-induced #ClimateChange doubled the likelihood of the heavy rainfall in the region and made it more intense, as Dr @FrediOtto from @WWAttribution at @imperialcollege explains.

“It is absolutely critical, too, that scientists are in the vanguard. Some are already doing their bit, but far too many remain silent on the greatest ever threat to human civilisation. This has to change.” We agree, and you probably do too. If you're a scientist, here's how 🧵

Confirmed reports now of "hundreds" of cars that were abandoned by drivers on Sunset Boulevard amid frantic #PalisadesFire evacuation gridlock earlier. (Folks made it out on foot.) CalFire/LA County bulldozers are in process of clearing path for emergency vehicles. #CAwx #CAfire

⚠ No deal We regret that after 2 years of negotiations & 1 week of talks in 🇰🇷 Busan, @UN member states found no agreement on a #PlasticsTreaty The 🇪🇺 remains committed to such a 🌍 instrument and calls for more ambition 👉 europa.eu/!gBPxNT #INC5 #BeatPlasticPollution

How the #Greenland Ice Sheet fared in 2024. SPOILER: It lost about eighty billion (80,000,000,000) metric tons of ice to the global oceans. Or to put it another way: on average, an ice mass of this size every five days.

#COP29 climate finance deal criticised as ‘travesty of justice’ and ‘stage-managed’ - Some countries say deal should not have been done and is ‘abysmally poor’ compared with what is needed theguardian.com/environment/…

The #COP process should be smaller, more frequent & aimed at putting what was already agreed upon into action, says PIKs @jrockstrom. “It’s about strengthening the COP & recognizing (...) that we have what we need. We need to get serious about delivery.” apnews.com/article/cop29-uni…

Nitrous oxide is 270x more potent than CO₂ and the top ozone-depleting substance still emitted. A new assessment from @CCACoalition and partners launched at #COP29 provides tools to cut N₂O emissions by 40%—key to safeguarding 1.5°C and human health: unep.org/news-and-stories/pr…

Climate Change: It's real. It's us. It's serious - and already dangerous. But there are solutions. The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.
