The Earths energy imbalance the excess heat trapped by the greenhouse effect has risen by 25% when comparing the past decade with the decade before.

Things are not only moving in the wrong direction, were seeing some unprecedented changes and acceleration of the heating of the Earth and sea level rise.

Man With Sign, June 19, 02025

Thursday is supposed to be brutally hot, but when I step out the door everything is still cool. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:31 it looks like Craige's not here today so I'm a soloist. I set up my large wooden sign, put my speaker on the post, and hold up WEIRD IS THE NEW NORMAL. And does anyone need me to explain why Jeez.

Warning signs on climate flashing bright red: Top scientists 

From to sea-level rise to global heating, the pace and level of key indicators are all in uncharted territory, more than 60 top scientists warned...

Whatever happened to climate change
During the last Canadian electionOff the agenda.
At the G7Nary a mention.
And at the annual COP climate meetingsVirtually torpedoed by Big Oil.
Even Greta is off doing other things.
Yet the scientific reports keep piling up, atmospheric CO2 levels have breached 430 ppm and are accelerating, oceans are heating up at an alarming rate.
What will it take to return climate change to front and centre on the worlds agenda

Our world exists only for the purpose of , and its pursuit. We should be ashamed. *I* am ashamed. Are you

"UK temperatures of 45C may be possible in current climate, Met Office says"

While ISDS (Investorstate dispute settlement) risks are significantly higher at later stages in the life cycle, governments can still employ effective mitigation strategies. Policy-makers should clearly reference international climate obligations and point to evidence on why production restrictions are essential for achieving greenhouse gas emissions targets, among other strategies

Sea urchins: From problem to resource

Since the 1970s, an enormous area of 5 000 km along the coast of N- Norway has transformed from lush kelp forest to barren sea urchin desert. This has led to a significant loss of carbon storage and biodiversity, as well as a loss of 50 000 t of large fish annually. The cause is human activity, primarily past overfishing of sea urchin predators like cod and wolffish.

Climate misinformation turning crisis into catastrophe, report says Climate crisis

Rampant climate misinformation is turning the crisis into a catastrophe, according to the authors of a new report.

"False claims obstructing climate action, say researchers, amid calls for climate lies to be criminalised.

The USP of Mothers Rise Up is using creativity to inspire mothers and parents to get involved in climate organising. Through artistic street actions that garner media attention, we point a spotlight on corporate fossil fuel enablers, such as the Lloyds of London marketplace, the worlds single biggest source of fossil fuel insurance. And we seek to directly engage with our targets, through personalised gifts and interventions

Julian Scaff, design leader and futurist at the ArtCenter College of Design in California, has some ideas on "Designing for Degrowth and Sufficiency" how to plan and build the better civilization that might come next, after this one collapses.

The time to start doing that is right now.

Rather than designing for engagement, scale, and consumer satisfaction, we must begin designing for enough. In a post-growth world, convenience is not a virtue. Its a trap.

Designers must create experiences that slow users down, that reward repair and discourage waste. Instead of accelerating extraction, design can become a force for restraint, consciousness, and care. We must abandon metrics that measure success by clicks and conversions and embrace indicators like ecological impact, user resilience, and system health.

If we fail to act, the likely outcome is not a cyberpunk techno-dystopia but ecological collapse, mass migration, food and energy crises, and a dramatic reduction in the global population.

In the worst-case scenario, surviving humans may return to small-scale, subsistence farming or hunter-gatherer societies, clinging to life in the last habitable zones near the poles. Our most advanced tools, languages, and cultures could be lost, or preserved only as myths.

But we have another choice.

If extractive capitalism gave us addictive apps, infinite scrolling, and fast fashion, then the next civilization must give us designs that honor limits, restore ecosystems, and reflect the dignity of all life.

This is not an incremental design challenge. It is a civilizational one.

"The remaining carbon budget for 1.5C is 130 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) (from the beginning of 2025).

This would be exhausted in a little more than three years at current levels of CO2 emissions, according to the latest Indicators of Global Climate Change study published in the journal Earth System Science Data, and the budget for 1.6C or 1.7C could be exceeded within nine years."

CO2 emissions on track to push Earth beyond 1.5 degree threshold by 2028, report finds.

Why do things take so long Anyway, here it is, my first zine from my research - written for Australians, but still relevant for others on the planet. CLIMATE CHANGE, why we are especially fucked. Same deal as the Pete zine, the digital version is pay what you want.

SeaFury explains why Australia and it's neighbours are especially fucked. You get stickers! And you get a call to action.This is a part of a series of zines from the research desk of SeaFury: mixing climate change and building physics with personal *opinions*. Read at your own risk.

"recent studies have highlighted that events have been occurring more frequently and for far longer time periods... but the question is, what really is the absolute cause of the changes causing this extreme weather, and can the world effectively deal with the change global newscasts have depicted of biblical nature... we've now viewed or listened to these reports ad nauseum."
