Scientists deliver ‘final warning’ on climate crisis: act now or it’s too late
6th synthesis report certain to be last such assessment while the world still has a chance of limiting #globalwarming rises to 1.5C (er ~3C🤔) above pre-industrial levels

2/13. The #AR6 Synthesis Report and it's Summary for Policymakers will condense all of the scientific evidence from the reports of the @IPCC_CH working group's and all special reports published between 2018 and 2022.
3/13. For example the @IPCC_CH #AR6 Working Group II report made the following key points on #LossAndDamage very clear:
1⃣Human-induced #ClimateChange has already caused #LossAndDamage to both nature and people;

Tout d'abord, quelques mots sur le travail de @GretaThunberg sur ce livre. Il ne s'agit pas de sa seule plume, la jeune militante a souhaité constitué un recueil de textes scientifiques couvrant les plus larges thématiques possibles associées au #climat et ses conséquences (2/n)
Greta Thunberg a donc écrit différentes préfaces, au livre comme à ses sections, ainsi qu'une postface concluant l'ouvrage. En lisant sa plume, sommes loin des préjugés médiatiques et punchlines des réseaux sociaux. Le ton est nuancé, les propos renseignés. (3/n)
In coming days the UK and much of Europe is going to suffer DEEP freeze due to a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event. Warnings are out all over Europe due to a dramatic shift in atmospheric air moving from the North Pole. MORE

2/SSWs are tied to #GlobalWarming weakening of the #PolarVortex system that clockwise circles the North Pole, holding subzero air over the #Arctic. Severe SSWs reverse the spin, shift warm ocean currents & slam the No Hemisphere w/deep freeze air.

In a SSW stratospheric winds, "reverse frm westerly to easterly & the temps in the stratosphere over polar regions rise significantly in just a few days."
Pole gets hotter; Europe colder.

@jordanbpeterson a sure sign @jordanbpeterson is really a dunce, is that he *talks* like a dunce about science. this muddled, profoundly ignorant man—who undoubtedly pretends, like all #Christian fanatics do these days, to be a champion and guardian of science—*makes fun* of science.

In India doing the exact same animal rights activism as in the western nations earns the tag of being right-wing Hindu fascists. In this upside-down situation #AnimalCruelty is lauded as #secularism

Vous avez sûrement vu passer des observations de Pingouins, et vous manquez d'explications sur ce phénomène exceptionnel ? Des ornithologues réfléchissent sur des explications probables, MAIS pas forcément confirmées. Donc #Thread #globalwarming #birdwatching #birds
Je cite : "L'afflux de pingouins n'est probablement pas sans lien avec celui des mouettes tridactyles qui commencent à atteindre la région, et celui d'autres oiseaux pélagiques sur le littoral atlantique. En cause, vraisemblablement les dépressions, et vents violents, qui...
...touchent l'Atlantique Nord depuis plusieurs semaines, notamment l'épisode du 17 novembre qui précède l'afflux des différentes espèces concernées. On aurait donc affaire à des oiseaux épuisés, ce qui expliquerait également la mortalité non négligeable signalée...
☀️My first PhD paper is out today! We investigated the extraordinary 2021 PNW heatwave🔥(+ Kai Kornhuber @KKornhuber & Mingfang Ting @mfting), identifying processes that supercharged it and their relations to climate change. @NatureClimate Link: nature.com/articles/s4155…
Here’s a free access link to the pdf: rdcu.be/c0lXW
We found that atmospheric dynamics played a key role in the PNW #heatwave: leading up to it, the jet stream bent into a huge hemisphere-wide wave—forming a heat dome in the PNW that was likely boosted by a smaller atmospheric wave coming off the Pacific.
Europe had a richer nature during the warm postglacial climatic optimum than today.
The landscape of northern Europe, including Scandinavia, looked very different during the postglacial climatic optimum.

The nature in southern and central Scandinavia did not look like what we are now used to. Both the climate and nature instead reminded of present-day northern and central France.
All the way up in Norrland dominated forests with elm, ash, oak, linden and hazel mixed with pine and birch. The fir had not yet come further than the far north.

1. #capitalism has wrecked the usual equilibrium of the Earth's carbon cycle, causing a growing excess in atmospheric CO2.
~Mona
@mattyglesias @dick_nixon 1a. #capitalism profits from turning solid forms of carbon (fuels) into gaseous CO2, and the ordinary mechanisms of Earth's climate and geology are not able to "fix" enough gaseous carbon in order to correct for the man-made imbalance. hence, #GlobalWarming is occurring.
