Report:

"

WMO’s State of the Global Climate report confirmed that 2024 was likely the first calendar year to be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era, with a global mean near-surface temperature of 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 average. This is the warmest year in the 175-year observational record.

WMO’s flagship report showed that:

Atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide are at the highest levels in the last 800,000 years.
Globally each of the past ten years were individually the ten warmest years on record.
Each of the past eight years has set a new record for ocean heat content.
The 18 lowest Arctic sea-ice extents on record were all in the past 18 years.
The three lowest Antarctic ice extents were in the past three years.
The largest three-year loss of glacier mass on record occurred in the past three years.
The rate of sea level rise has doubled since satellite measurements began.

Crazy how there was massive flooding in Kentucky this past weekend and this is the first I've seen about it. I guess we are getting to the point where #ClimateDisasters are just day-to-day life instead of news.

🌪️🔥💧 #ClimateDisasters 2024 saw record-shattering weather chaos: $402B in damages, with 21 insured billion-dollar events (highest ever). Severe storms ruled, fueled by U.S. growth, not just climate change. Helene ($79B) and Milton ($34B) joined China’s floods ($31B) in history’s costliest. Deadly heat, wildfires, and "weather whiplash" gripped Earth, warning of worse to come. nakedcapitalism.com/2025/01/th

Gardeners spewing gasoline fumes into the air next door for leaf blowing. At least it's not the leaf blowing that was going on here when we had 50-70mph winds 😬

(Gripe: we're in a freaking climate crisis--cities burning down--and gasoline powered leaf blowers, a major source of pollution due to the inefficiency of two stroke engines, are not yet outlawed here.)

I'm just on the vanguard. I refuse to let be ignored for what they are and so should you, ESPECIALLY if you live in or love the place currently ON FIRE.

It gives me zero joy to say it, it just has to be said. Unfollow at will

Landman Petroganda 🧵 /10

This week as #LosAngeles becomes the latest city forced to evacuate as yet another climate-worsened #wildfire licks the city's edge I'll reiterate: 9 episodes in & this #BigOil championing show HASN'T EVEN ONCE mentioned #ClimateDisasters. It's not just propaganda. It's DEADLY propaganda.

Landman Petroganda 🧵 /6

Haven't had the stomach to watch last week's show yet but absent from all 8 previous #Landman episodes is any mention whatsoever of the ever-worsening #ClimateDisasters we now all face. That's what makes #JohnHamm, #BillyBobThornton & #TaylorSheridan's show actually monstrous & unforgivable.

Today as #Malibu becomes the latest city forced to evacuate as yet another climate-worsened #wildfire licks the city's edge I'll reiterate: 9 episodes in & this #BigOil championing show HASN'T EVEN ONCE mentioned #ClimateDisasters. Not just propaganda. DEADLY propaganda. bsky.app/profile/bent...
