Still Want to Retain the 1.5-Degree Target

The 2025 Emissions Gap Report and the outcome of the first global stocktake clearly reveal that we are not on track to meet the 1.5 C target under the Paris Agreement (PA). If we still wish to stick to the long-term target, the so-called climate overshoot is becoming inevitable. The

- Himalayas bare and rocky after reduced winter snowfall, scientists warn

In Don't Look Up (2021) humanity struggles to cooperate to deflect an asteroid because they are more concerned with the profit to be made mining it using unproven technology that risks the destruction of the planet. A culture war is fabricated to blame the messenger and myopically focus on the economy as a doomsday clock accurate to the minute and hour elapses

Oh no, the are turning into a barren because winter is slacking off on snow duty! Scientists "warn" us with their serious faces while we all collectively yawn and scroll past the BBC's infinite scrolling chaos. Remember, if it's not melting faster than your ice cream on a hot day, it's probably not newsworthy.

- if you don't understand this, you should check that you weren't kicked in the head by a horse, when you were younger!

Research shows that polar bear are most active in key areas

The paper shows that banks with greater exposure to carbon-intensive borrowers already pay higher costs for short-term funding in Europes repo market, even though these transactions are secured and traditionally seen as risk-free. Climate transition risk therefore amplifies financial stress and creates uneven monetary policy transmission, making it a present-day concern for financial stability rather than a distant threat

The paper shows that climate shocks hit fragile, conflict-affected, and violent countries much harder than stable ones, while these same settings also suffer from weak social inclusion, low trust, and poor institutional legitimacy. It argues that without addressing these social foundations, climate action risks deepening fragility and conflict instead of building resilience and peace

I love our politicians. The ones who won't budge to save the planet because some rich people in the oil business, which fuels the military business, threaten their retirement plans.

CO2 has not stopped rising. Not before, during, or after any "accords" were agreed to in any climate conference ever held, period.

It's occasionally my opinion that we'll all keep living here, over and over, until we get it right. Assuming that turns out to be the case, enjoy your next 27 lives in the simulation where creatures must eat other living things to say they've had a good brunch, and we're theoretically supposed to take care of them, including our often hostile and accusatory selves.

I disagree with a few frames that well-meaning folks use (e.g. Hayhoe, McKibben, etc.) - "each marginal increase matters", "1.5 is not the end of the world", "look at awesome growth in ", "don't bum folks out, be positive", etc. They are propagating the delusion that things are not THAT bleak. The problem is they ARE - for 10s of M people already.

As U.S. President Trump vies for control of Greenland, possibly by force, its hard to argue that the scientific cost of such a takeover would not be severe. Read why the future for Greenland should lie with Greenlanders and with Denmark, in Martin Siegert's article for The Conversation:

The just keep getting hotter
Since 2018, a group of researchers from around the world has crunched the numbers on how much heat the worlds oceans are absorbing each year. In 2025, their measurements broke records once again, making this the eighth year in a row that the worlds oceans have absorbed more heat than in the years before.
