Tropical laciers are now at their smallest size in over 11,700 years, indicating significant warming.

Researchers studying Andean rocks have found that glacial retreat is accelerating due to rising global temperatures.

This is alarming as many regions depend on glacial meltwater for drinking & agriculture. Additionally, melting glaciers expose darker surfaces that absorb more heat, further accelerating in a feedback loop.

"123 Agreements provide a legal framework for peaceful nuclear cooperation such as the export of nuclear material, equipment, and components from the United States to another country, according to the US Department of States website."

"Extreme weather is, by definition, rare on our planet. Ferocious storms, searing heatwaves, and biting cold snaps illustrate what the climate is capable of at its worst. However, since Earths climate is rapidly warming, predominantly due to fossil fuel burning, the range of possible weather conditions, including extremes, is changing."

: "Munich Re, the worlds biggest reinsurance company which takes on disaster risk for insurers around the world has more than doubled in market capitalisation over the past five years. S&Ps composite index of big US property and casualty insurers is up by a healthy 76 per cent over the same period.

But these bullish share price numbers are not necessarily a reassuring sign for society at large. Investors are not cheering insurers for rolling out affordable coverage ever more widely in response to worsening climate risks.

On the contrary, theyre rewarding them for becoming increasingly selective in the coverage they offer and charging significantly higher prices for it in an effort to avoid big losses in the future.

Global reinsurers increased the prices they charge insurers for property catastrophe cover by more than 30 per cent last year, Morgan Stanley analysts estimate. In response to investor pressure theyve also been cutting back the cover they provide for medium-sized disasters, which have been driving a growing volume of losses, according to analysts at Fitch Ratings."

heat waves, devastating monster storms, and persistent widespread droughts that
could trigger worldwide hunger crises. Rising sea levels that devastate our coasts.
Collapsing ecosystems, devastating species extinctions, burning and withering forests, acidified oceans. Failed states, huge numbers of people on the run."

"Without immediate, decisive climate protection measures, my children currently attending high school could already experience a 3-degree warmer Earth. No one can say exactly what this world would look likeit would be too far outside the entire experience of human history. But almost certainly this earth would be full of horrors for the people who would have to experience it."

I don't understand why Al Gore never took out ads just to flip two middle fingers for 30 seconds.

He deserves it.

I had air conditioning installed on my home, its first in the 65 years it has stood. Homes here have been built to keep the heat in, not out. I feel beyond privileged, but also guilty that we are now adding to the strain the grid is facing

Antarctica is a giant place. (by square miles, it's bigger than either Australia, the US, Canada, or Europe, and about 20% smaller than South America)

I've been looking at forecasts for Antarctica for probably many years now, andn I can't ever recall seeing one where basically the entire continent is enveloped in abnormally high temperatures (reluctant to call it a heat wave bc it's still Antarctica)
