Rising methane could be a sign that Earth’s climate is part-way through a ‘termination-level transition’
Is the Collapse of a Critical Atlantic Current Really Imminent? The jury is out. But if we don’t rein in warming, we’re in deep trouble.

The wealthy, including middle-class people in rich countries, are responsible for many times the climate-altering emissions of lower-income people — the super rich especially. The Stockholm Environment Institute estimates that the world’s top 0.1 per cent emitted 10 times more per capita than the rest of the richest 10 per cent combined, more than 200 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year each.

Studies project a circular economy could reduce emissions by up to 45 per cent globally.

What is happening in the Atlantic Ocean to the #AMOC?
Timing of the critical AMOC transition is still highly uncertain, but increasingly the evidence points to the risk being far greater than 10 % during this century – even rather worrying for the next few decades. The conservative IPCC estimate, based on climate models which are too stable and don’t get the full freshwater forcing, is in my view outdated now.
Opinion: Why have we let it come to this

Could be a game changer. cement free concrete that has cost paraty with regular concrete and meets all the necessary parameters for safety etc.

I’ve spent the subsequent three-and-a-half decades warning that eventually we’d get to this particular July: the hottest day and week and month on record. And long before records too: it seems almost certain that this is the hottest weather on our planet in 125,000 years; Jim Hansen made a quite reasonable case Friday that it is already or soon will be hotter than it’s been for a million years, which is to say before the evolution of homo sapiens.

You can tell how worried the climate deniers are by how many fields of science they have to trash to try and have people not see what’s happening.
