These are shocking numbers, even for a climate scientist who has seen a lot over the last 40 years. Health impacts of the climate disruption will soon hit millions of people. Will the world leaders finally understand the urgency to leave fossil fuels in the ground and stop deforestation? #ClimateEmergency
Brutal heat... New Delhi, India 🇮🇳 just recorded its hottest night on record at the Safdarjung Observatory (data since 1901). The heatwave has been rewriting many records. New Delhi has hit 40°C or greater for 37 consecutive days now.

Deadly heat that would have been very rare without climate change & even relatively rare just 20 years ago, now common event due to continued increase in emissions from burning fossil fuels. We now this is happening, but we are not prepared. worldweatherattribution.org/…

The nordic countries with a completely different result than Germany and France: Spectacular electoral gains for green and radical-left parties (MP overtakes SD in Sweden; F strongest party in Denmark, VAS number 2 in Finland), really weak results for the far-right.

With May 2024 coming in as the warmest May on record, global temperatures have been at 1.63C above preindustrial levels over the past 12 months in @CopernicusECMWF's ERA5. A pretty sharp jump up from prior global temps we've seen, akin to the increase between 2010 and 2016:

"MERE, BEDRE OG STØRRE NATUR i DANMARK" 🌿 I går offentliggjorde vi på en konference på Christiansborg vores rapport: "Mere, bedre og større natur i Danmark. Hvor, hvordan og hvor meget?" I den viser vi konkrete veje til at sikre biodiversiteten i Danmark gennem etablering af store, sammenhængende naturområder. Og vi vi viser at vi sagtens kan lave og have store naturområder i Danmark. Rapporten, der har har været fire år undervejs, er den første af sin slags, der både omfatter: ✅ Biologiske prioriteringsanalyser af data for knap 3.000 arter ✅ Kortdata over landets natur-, skov-, og landbrugsområder ✅ Data for samfundssøkonomiske omkostninger Rapporten indeholder desuden flere illustrationer af kort over, hvor de store naturområder befinder sig, og hvor de kan udvides. Her peger rapportens forfattere bl.a. på 149 områder, ud af 239 mulige, som de vigtigste for biodiversiteten. 👉Læs mere om download rapporten her: macroecology.ku.dk/publicati… Projektet er gennemført på Center for Makroøkologi, Evolution og Klima @Macroecology på Globe Institut, Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen med støtte fra 15. Juni Fonden og AAGE V. JENSEN NATURFOND. Projektet er udført under ledelse af professor @Carsten_Rahbek og specialkonsulent Anders Højgård Petersen i samarbejde med professor Berit Hasler, videnskabelig assistent Thomas Laage-Thomsen og professor Mette Termansen fra Department of Food and Resource Economics (IFRO), University of Copenhagen. #dkforsk #dknatur #biodiversitet #dkpol @KU_IFRO @Globe_UCPH @Sustain_UCPH @science_ku @koebenhavns_uni @UCPH_health

Extreme heat in Asia made much much more likely & intense by climate change. Sounds like a broken record - yes! But heat is still underreported, underrecorded and extremely deadly! The world is not prepared for today's climate change, let alone the future. worldweatherattribution.org/…

38 million km² of land are used for the production of meat and dairy — either as grazing land or cropland to grow animal feed. This is an area as large as the entirety of the Americas. From my article on how we can protect the world's wilderness: ourworldindata.org/agricultu…

#IPCC’s report on the physical science of #climatechange shows that mountain & polar glaciers are committed to continue melting for decades or centuries. The freezing level height in mountain areas is projected to rise & will alter snow & ice conditions. bit.ly/WGIRpt

Chasing the magic number - when will the AMOC collapse? We know it can collapse. Has collapse many times. And we are moving towards collapse. IPCC puts probability to < 10%. Low? Oh no, For a catastrophic event, this is VERY high. World needs to wake up. insideclimatenews.org/news/0…
