The Rainforests of Africa:

🇨🇩 DR Congo
🇨🇬 Republic of the Congo
🇬🇦 Gabon
🇨🇫 Central African Republic
🇨🇲 Cameroon
🇬🇶 Equatorial Guinea

will suffer from a totally new climate of unprecedented heat from 2025 onwards, with staggering consequences for all life on Earth.
This 2013 study projects 'climate departure':

Equatorial Guinea Malabo 2024- 2030
Gabon Libreville 2024- 2028
Cameroon Yaounde 2025- 2032
Central African Republic Bangui 2028- 2036
DR Congo Kinshasa 2028- 2038 Republic of the Congo Brazzaville 2028 -2038

African Rainforests will suffer from a totally new climate of unprecedented heat from 2025 onwards with staggering consequences for all life on Earth.
The most intact rainforests cover 6 countries. This 2013 study projects years of 'climate departure' on our current high emissions path:

Equatorial Guinea 2024
Gabon 2024
Cameroon 2025
Central African Republic 2028
DR Congo 2028
Republic of the Congo 2028
Central Africa is experiencing the highest acceleration in deforestation of any region on Earth.

The forests of the Congo Basin face myriad threats:

industrial agriculture

proliferating road networks

new oil and gas exploration

a regional drying trend

What is Climate Departure?

It's the year climate change pushes cities into an entirely different, catastrophically hotter climate, with every subsequent year hotter than any year ever recorded before.

Kingston, Jamaica 🇯🇲 is heading for this new deadly climate by 2023.
Everything you need to know about Climate Departure here:
'A city hits "climate departure" when the average temperature of its coolest year from then on is projected to be warmer than the average temperature of its hottest year between 1960 and 2005"

I'd forgotten this...my definition isn't quite right. Needs to be snappy though. Redo!

The Great Barrier Reef will be dead by 2029 with catastrophic consequences for life on Earth.

Arctic summer sea ice will be gone by 2029 with catastrophic consequences for life on Earth.

Rainforests are set for collapse by 2029 with catastrophic consequences for life on Earth.
"If we don't act now, the climate change damage caused to our Great Barrier Reef by 2030 will be irreversible."

(IPCC author Ove Hoegh-Guldberg in 2014).

The situation is far worse than in 2014 after major bleaching in 2016, 2017 and now 2020.

Thread:
Scientists acknowledge that Arctic sea ice melt is accelerating rapidly according to satellite observations, and that climate models don't take this into account when they predict 2034 - 2044.

Staggering food supply disruption by 2024 - 2033 looks likely.
