🚨The most important graph in the world has another 6 months of data!🚨
NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space.
The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled over the past 26 years!
The most important graph in the world.
Two years ago NASA showed the world that the rate of global heat uptake had doubled since 2005.
It barely made the news.

1. "I knew this was going to be happening, so did any climate scientist - but the speed is just staggering. Once you've got to the stage where you've got food rationing, then everything changes, everything's up for grabs." @ProfBillMcGuire, climate scientist UCL, author.
"I'm not a survivalist, but I'm certainly preparing. I mean, we're increasing the number of water butts, we're having water harvesting because that's going to be obviously a huge issue in summers to come. We're saving seed. We're not doing it yet, but we will be storing things like flour and sugar and cooking oil in relatively large quantities in the cellar because it's common sense"
@AaronBastani in conversation with natural disaster expert @ProfBillMcGuire on this week's Downstream.

I've heard repeatedly that new members of parliament are being lobbied by the gas industry on hydrogen for heating which we all know is a terrible idea.
Here are the facts about hydrogen, the reasons for the lobbying and what we must do - to a drum and bass soundtrack. 🕺🕺

The UK's 2035 climate pledge, announced at #COP29 yesterday, is to cut emissions to 81% below 1990 levels by 2035
Here's how that looks in context…

The concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are humanity’s “most accurate measure” of progress. “The data shows, again, we are not making much progress on reducing emissions.”

Strange that, when every country claims to be a ‘world leader’ on addressing climate change 😉. Someone must be telling an untruth … perhaps the atmosphere is conning us, or perhaps policy makers & their coopted acolytes are spinning a yarn? Now which is more likely 🤔

The North York Moors today - fire after fire as they set grouse moors alight, as if the climate crisis simply doesn’t exist.

It’s high time we lock up those climate change activists blocking our roads. 🤔

Blaming climate scientists for the world overshooting 1.5C is deeply silly. We are not the ones who set us up for failure with unrealistic targets here. theconversation.com/how-main…

Did you know this: when you use renewable electricity to make hydrogen, you can't use it for things that abate 2x to 9x more emissions, namely getting coal off the grid, powering heat pumps and charging EVs. Call me old-fashioned, but I think this should have policy implications.

We need cooperation across all areas of global leadership to tackle the climate crisis.
As @DMiliband highlighted: we’re not doing a good enough job at taking the climate challenge out of the “environment box”.
