Ice sheets are melting at an accelerating rate and it's irreversible (in any feasible timescale). This century, possibly this half-century, the low-lying areas of eastern England will be flooded, as far "inland" as Cambridge.

The has produced this news item based on Copernicus data that highlights the following findings about :
1. Global average temperatures for 2024 were around 1.6C above those of the pre-industrial period (1850-1900). This is used as a baseline, as it was the time before humans started burning large amounts of fossil fuels.
2. Whereas temperature increase from baseline was mainly located in specific areas by early 2000s, this is now observed everywhere almost equally, including oceans.
3. 2024 was the year with more number of days of temperature exceeding the average, and where the excess was more acute.

My recent interview with Earth Hero on academic activism, the evolution in tactics of the movement and the book I'm writing about them:
We, citizens of , who have become aware of the climate danger at the heart of the sixth extinction that is under way, call on the to set up a assembly leading to a citizens mechanism in each country that will encourage businesses to decarbonise through consumer demand. The mechanism should cover all purchases of goods and services. It starts symbolically with a critical means of transport, air transport. The Air Quotas information campaign makes it possible to understand the trade mechanism between carbon deficits and surpluses based on a fair distribution that decreases from year to year in line with the and the 's announcement of a 55% reduction. The three phases of the climate assembly are a survey, formulation by selected by lot, together with experts and elected representatives, and finally national referendums for implementation in each country. The initial focus on air transport, leading to a media campaign, could be used as a launchpad (for a short period, however, since it accounts for only 5% of Europes carbon footprint).

What's going to happen in summer With not too much rain expected between now and then, California is going to be still pretty dry. That area (plus others) can literally be on fire again in under 6 months. I'm not saying it definitely will, but it's a distinct possibility AKAICS.
