We've entered a new age of climate extremes:
A supersized El Niño is colliding with a planet already superheated by climate change.
The latest @WMO report shows once again that leaders must get serious by cutting emissions faster, accelerating a just transition from fossil fuels & delivering the finance & protection vulnerable countries need.

As #COP31 opens in Antalya, PIK Director Johan Rockström tells AP: “We have failed so far” on limiting warming. More extreme weather and the crossing of tipping points, such as Amazon rainforest collapse, could be among the consequences.

Breaking: Between the Huang affair, the Blue Wave, continued results showing lack of clear productivity improvements, increases in the cost of credit, and this startling new result showing just how expensive incremental improvements in generative AI have become, the bursting of the bubble may well be near.

Lonnie was a one-of-a-kind. He will be sorely missed.
Lonnie Thompson went to the ends of the Earth and above the clouds to document and understand the effects of the climate crisis on our planet. Across the highest mountain ranges, from the Andes to the Himalaya, his physically arduous and heroic research revealed the rapid decline of the world’s highest glaciers. And his meticulously documented findings from the ice cores he carried back down the mountains had an impact far beyond the scientific community. His lifelong determination to communicate what he discovered about the global impact of the climate crisis with policymakers and the public was extraordinary. For more than three decades, Lonnie and his wife and scientific collaborator Ellen Mosley-Thompson were trusted advisors to me and many others on climate science. Lonnie was an invaluable ally in the global movement to solve the climate crisis and was a cherished friend I will miss dearly. nytimes.com/2026/11/06/scien…

An extremely important article about the way forward not only for the Nordics, but for European states as a whole. As there is no one group that can help coordinate Europe-only defense, coalitions of the willing are the best way to start. No one does that better than the Nordics.
I have a piece in @ForeignAffairs: the Nordics have made a qualitative leap in military cooperation and are forming a deterrence cluster within NATO.

Nepal will receive $20 million from the UN’s Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage following devastating floods in August that left 1,500 dead and 5,000 missing. The allocation from the climate fund covers less than 1% of the losses. reuters.com/business/environ…

Finally... someone who can articulate in a succinct, accessible way why foreign aid is good not just for the world but for America-- esp when it's done efficiently. America's interests are best served when upholding its values, which are universal, including basic humanity

Thank you, Norway @NorwayMFA @NorwayInGeneva, for your NOK 150 million commitment to @IFRC_DREF for 2026-2028.
Multi-year, predictable funding means local Red Cross and Red Crescent teams can act early and fast, when every minute counts.
When disaster strikes, every minute counts.
At today's @IFRC_DREF Pledging Conference, Norway reaffirmed its commitment to strengthen locally led emergency response and anticipatory action, committing NOK 150 million to DREF for 2026-2028.

Climate change is making the world less safe and less predictable for everyone, and many are already suffering the results of climate change in stark terms, e.g.: "Conflict, displacement and climate change increasingly overlap worldwide."
