I agree with Professor Mann, the Guardian newspaper "does some of the best reporting around on the climate. It doesn’t hold back from describing the devastating consequences of the climate crisis or from calling out those who engage in denial and delay."
It's why I support them.
When the AMOC ends the consequences for much life on this planet will be devastating. Oh it won't be as sudden as what is pictured in the movie The Day After Tomorrow, but it will be very bad.
“The collapse time is estimated between 2037-2064,” they say. “The probability of an AMOC collapse before the year 2050 is estimated to be 59 per cent ± 17 percent.”
That’s well within the lifespans of the majority of people alive today.

Greenland fossil discovery stuns scientists and confirms that center of ice sheet melted in recent past
A new study provides the first direct evidence that the center—not just the edges—of Greenland's ice sheet melted away in the recent geological past and the now-ice-covered island was then home to a green, tundra landscape.

“I care about the environment not because I have any particular desire to hug a tree, but I have a strong desire to hug a healthy baby.”

One thing to understand about many congress critters on both sides is that some either don't understand #climatechange, or they really don't care what happens to life on the planet after they are gone as long as they reap O&G benefits ($$) for themselves.

DINO Joe Manchin is one of them and his new bill may succeed.
In effect as the frequency, and intensity, of major storms increases the ability to recover from them decreases

"In effect, parts of developed countries would experience developing nations conditions for prolonged periods as a result of natural catastrophes and increasing vulnerability due to the abbreviated return times of extreme events."

The carbon cycle is more dangerous than an asteroid.
An asteroid killed the dinosaurs but unstable carbon cycles caused the worse mass extinctions in earth’s history—and we are putting carbon dioxide into the air at a rate the earth has never seen before.

It is hard to explain what a two degrees celsius increase in the temperature will do to the planet because two is such a small number. But the last ice age only changed the global temperature by half a degree. Half. When I talk about two degrees, I am being optimistic.

more on how the pressures of global climate change is affecting insurance and home ownership
https://thinc.blog/2024/06/04/what-happens-when-the-climate-housing-bubble-bursts/
I’ve talked a lot about the risk to homeowners as climate risks jack up home insurance rates, but game that out a few years, and we may be looking at a much broader risk to the economy, on a level with the mortgage crisis that tanked the global economy in 2008.
Insurance companies are starting to abandon whole counties and states where the risks of climate change induced hurricanes or forest fires pose to great a risk for them to consider providing coverage any longer. Try getting a mortgage when you can't get disaster insurance.

In Congress, the top Democrats on two committees are asking the Department of Justice to launch a sweeping investigation of big oil corporations. They allege that the companies have deceived the public for decades about their complicity in climate change and willingness to address it.
#climatechange is causing bird wings to grow longer. As air warms it gets less dense and longer wings are needed to maintain the same degree of lift.

"A derecho is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms known as a mesoscale convective system. Derechos can cause hurricane-force winds, heavy rains, and flash floods."
