Melting on the Arctics Svalbard Islands Shows the Climate Future Is Now

The rapid disintegration of glaciers on the islands north of Norway foreshadows a catastrophic future for the Arctic, scientists warn.

Voices arguing that climate action is a waste of time are getting louder. Heres why they are wrong

Optimism may be hard to come by but the evidence shows some progress on emissions is not just possible its happening before our eyes

when devastating storms, droughts, or wildfires occur, some religious voices declare them as acts of God rather than consequences of human activity

framing disasters exclusively as divine will has two consequences. First, it discourages responsibility by suggesting that nothing can be done to prevent such events. Second, it creates resistance to scientific explanations and solutions, fostering a culture of inaction

Good night.

' It turns out that the focused, highly technological effort to find, extract and burn as much of the worlds fossil-fuel reservoir as is economically feasible, as fast as possible, has been extremely prodigious at getting carbon out of the crust. ' () In fact, the best estimate is that were emitting carbon perhaps 10 times faster than even the mindless, undirected Siberian volcanoes that brought about the worst mass extinction ever. '

It's Tyrant and oil tycoons vs the world. One by one, they're knocking down measures to slow the climate crisis. Americans, please participate in the EPA comment period and tell them to keep regulating greenhouse gas emissions.

All the worst case product projections are the ones that are coming real

Every extreme weather event is also an ecological one. The more communities realize that those fires floods heat waves are dismembering the very system that keeps their region comfortable or lets say less hostile suffering damage.. the most urgent task is to restore water basins to add greenery in ways that are parallel to natural ecologies.

Banks know its happening. So do insurers. Because their actuaries have calculated the risks .

My go-to climate fiction book recommendations for people wanting to explore the genre are...
- Parable of the Sower: a classic, dystopian novel. please check CWs!
- migrations by Charlotte McConaghy
- The Overstory and Bewilderment by Richard Powers

Reminder
Denouncing Republicans is NO excuse to use AI images.

Using AI destroys the environment, feeds tech bros and steals from people who actually produce original work.

There are plenty of photo & digital painting software, many free, that will do the EXACT same thing without destroying water resources.

If learning to use those is too much of an effort for you to help the planet you're just a hypocrite.
And lazy.

"Morteratsch is one of the most studied glaciers in the world, thanks to its accessibility and its dramatic retreat -- more than 2 miles in the last 165 years, driven by human-induced climate change. During our hike up the glacier, Hsli pointed to artifacts that showed just how far the glacier has retreated."

I think walking up here and seeing the signposts, seeing where the glacier used to be a hundred years ago, 50 years ago has more of an effect than just seeing it in a picture.

The freshwater crisis strung along the old world starting at the Middle East and extending even all the way to Pakistan and beyond. Its really desperate stuff.

I was cleaning up my documents on the drive, and found this beginning of a story that I had written during the COVID-19 lockdown:

Grace parted the delicate pale-green leaves with her fingers, closing them softly but firmly around the ruby red berry, its yellow-green seeds in sharp contrast to its taut crimson skin. Plucking from the Gard-In (the expensive, but necessary hydroponic system she had insisted they buy before The Change happened) was her morning task. 1/4

The Chinese Dam Threatening the Worlds Most Endangered Ape.

When a new orangutan species was found near a Chinese-owned hydrodam in Indonesia, scientists and advocates launched a campaign to block the project. Then some who spoke against it lost their jobsand, in the case of one activist, his life.

Climate change is already having an impact on companies around the world.

Over half of the firms surveyed in a recent Morgan Stanley report experienced the climates impact on operations within the past year, including increased costs, worker disruption and revenue losses. The growing financial impacts are a key reason some companies are continuing to pursue emissions cuts and adapt to a warming world even amidst political turbulence, the survey found

True climate justice requires legally binding reparations, robust funding for loss and damage, and the recognition that human rights are inseparable from environmental stewardship. Only through these measures can we hope to restore dignity to those affected & ensure that tragedies like the Buner floods are not repeated. Reparations are are a legal & moral obligation

What good are science and rational
persuasion if no one is paying attention

The climate crisis deepens with terrifying predictability. Meanwhile, the courageous young campaigners who seek to wake us up to the truth of this, through peaceful direct action, are silenced and stuck in prison.

Theirs is a generation systematically betrayed by politicians. And by all of us who allow this to continue, on our watch, year after year.

Just Stop Oil stopped active campaigning in March 2025. But for most of its remarkable young activists, the work of civil resistance goes on.

Jonathon Porritt spent a year working with twenty-six Just Stop Oil campaigners to co-create Love, Anger & Betrayal, driven by a fierce commitment to intergenerational justice.

"Larissa Floods"

in the greek city of larissa, climate-induced floods led to the destruction of hundreds of homes and agricultural land. the greek state response was to leave people stranded on the roofs of their homes for days without rescue. it is additionally possible that up to three hundred itinerant workers from South Asia are missing. after this took place, there was unrest in the streets.

Borrowing from the future with no plan for payback is grand theft on an epic scale, the largest crime ever (and we do know what we're doing, so...).

Here's some of what we're stealing, projected in trillions of dollars (because excess mortality doesn't ring everybody's bell but a buck still might).

Law-abiding conservatives should be policing our lawless behavior but instead it's a bunch of libs. What gives with that

"Compound heatwave-extreme precipitation events (CHEPs) referring to extreme precipitation events that occur shortly after the end of heatwaves, can amplify socio-economic impacts of single events. Global warming is expected to drive such events beyond historical variability. However, when the change signal of record-shattering CHEPs will emerge from historical variability remains poorly understood. In this study, we develop a novel framework to detect the time of emergence for record-shattering CHEPs using multiple single model initial-condition large ensembles. Our findings show a significant increase in all concerned CHEP indices from 1984 to 2014 globally. Hotspots, including East and Southeast Asia, North-central South America, and Central Africa, experience earlier emergence compared to other regions. Under the SSP2-4.5 scenario, 71% of global areas are projected to see the emergence of record-shattering frequency by 2100, though less than 10% by 2030. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and population exposure rise sharply throughout the 21st century. 41% of IPCC AR6 sub-regions are projected to experience GDP exposure to record-shattering frequency exceeding 4,000 billion USD by the century's end, while 34% are expected to face population exposure surpassing 100 million. Furthermore, unequal distributions of exposure highlight the need for targeted mitigation and adaptation strategies for vulnerable regions."
