Can you please provide the link to the paper.
Thanks 🙂
The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

The continental grounding line record provides crucial benchmarks for next-generation ice sheet models tasked with projecting future sea level rise.
On a more positive note, the study revealed that 77% of the continental coastline remains stable for now. As the graphic from the paper shows, most of the retreat is concentrated on the more fragile West Antarctic Ice Sheet, but retreat is also evident in the Wilkes Land region in the East.
Ice has been retreating from the grounding line at an average of 442km per year. The most dramatic changes occurred in the Amundsen Sea and Getz sectors, where glaciers retreated 10 to about 40km. Pine Island Glacier retreated 33km, Thwaites Glacier 26km, and Smith Glacier an extraordinary 42km.
When ice shelves become un-grounded, the buttressing effect is lost allowing the ice shelf, and the glaciers that feed it, to accelerate, flowing faster into the open sea and raising sea levels.
A multiple-satellite study of Antarctica’s grounding line area show a loss of 12,820 km2 over the last 30 years. Grounding lines are the contact points where continental ice sheets anchor to the seabed, slowing their flow into the oceans.

What can the long overlooked story of rare earth metals, energy resources, and industrial capacity tell us about ongoing geopolitical events?
It's a fair point and one I have researched and written about. I use it sparingly as posts with strong images drive twice the traffic and it's about getting the message across. I don't have budget or skill for human made art. Image generation is a fraction of the energy/water costs of LLM chats.
To stabilise a burning world, we must move beyond suppression and focus on the evolutionary blueprint of rehydration: restoring the biotic pump and the fungal networks that once made the earth fire-resilient.
By moving from fire-driven consumption back to moisture-dependent decomposition—through mesophication, the restoration of mega-herbivore dynamics, and active "re-plumbing" of the landscape—we can break the successional trap.
This article explores the Fire-Water Axis, arguing that wildfire is not an inevitable climate destiny, but a biological "recycling profile" that can be shifted.

As climate change accelerates "fire weather," we are witnessing a global shift toward successional traps—dehydrated landscapes locked in a cycle of frequent, high-intensity burning.

The strikes on Iran show why quitting oil is more important than ever
Electrification + renewables = energy that isn’t shipped through chokepoints.
Decarbonisation is national security.

Your 'moment of doom' for Mar. 2, 2026 ~ a greater sorrow.
"there is a risk of 2026 being the warmest year on record even without El Niño, due to the global warming trend"

It has gotten worse with three additional years of data.
We really need that global climate model - NASA CERES satellite data comparison project!
More evidence for Climate Sensitivity to be 4ºC or above and there being more warming “in the pipeline” once emissions of GHGs and coincident aerosols slow down. This has impacts on so called “Remaining Carbon Budgets” and temperature trajectories over the coming years and decades.
Thanks for the event link. Sounds interesting, pity its not available on-line.
It's a fair point. I have written about AI energy use. Image generation is not as energy intensive as LLM chats, but you are right.
I use it sparingly to attract attention - a good image doubles traffic to the message, I don't the skill or budget to create my own. I also share all images freely.
The study calls for atmospheric composition and population biomarkers to be tracked alongside traditional climate indicators to better understand how gradual environmental change may influence human biology and health over decades.
This represents an emerging risk of carbon emissions beyond weather events and warming. This is an emerging public health issue which will effect todays youth later in their lives. Since CO2 is a fully mixed gas in the atmosphere, it will effect the whole global population equally.
Humans evolved in an atmosphere containing roughly 280–300ppm of CO₂. Today it's 427ppm. The data suggests that humans are not adapting fast enough to cope with the increases in the air we breath.
If current emission rates continue, average bicarbonate levels could approach the upper limit of today's accepted healthy range within 50 years. Calcium and phosphorus levels could also reach the lower end of their healthy ranges later this century.
Bicarbonate levels are increasing while calcium and phosphorus are reducing. Bicarbonate maintains the body's acid–base balance. When CO₂ levels rise, the body retains more bicarbonate to stabilise blood pH. Over time, however, sustained compensation may carry physiological consequences.
The team analysed serum bicarbonate (HCO3−), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) levels from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2020.
They detected a gradual shift in blood chemistry that mirrors the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide overload, detected in human blood, suggests a potentially toxic atmosphere within 50 years according to a new peer reviewed study of 7,000 human subjects over 20 years.

The causes need more research, although drought (through warming) and human encroachment/degradation are likely.
Changes in water level also release the more powerful GHGs N20 and CH4. The higher the water level, the more effectively microorganisms break down CH4. If the water levels are low, e.g. during the dry season, methane is broken down less effectively and escapes from the lake in larger quantities.
Climate changes and altered land use, especially the conversion of forest to cropland, could exacerbate this trend, lowering water levels and creating conditions of forest degradation – with consequences for the global climate.
