Climate change is speeding up — the pace nearly doubled in ten years Earth is now warming at a rate of around 0.35 ºC per decade, fresh analysis finds.

Here is what the journal Nature has to say about our paper on the increasing rate of #globalwarming:

The Hunger Gap A gulf in public understanding prevents us from seeing how and why our food supply is at risk.

In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

So Trump has effectively created an Iranian blood vendetta & holy war against the US & Israel

Pity Trump can't send his MAGA supporters to the front line, tho they are pretty ineffective against opponents who fight back, and it's a different story to bad-mouthing Joe Biden and Obama who offer only dignified responses to their vulgar bigotry.

Felon Trump may have wriggled out of serving time in a US jail. However his misguided & mercenary aliiance with the genocidal Netanyahu, guarantees that he remains a "Prisoner of Zion".
(An apt title perhaps for a biography of Trump?)

Another blatant lie from the disgusting, depraved Trump. That girls school was bombed in the first wave that also killed the Supreme Leader, 2 hrs before Irani retaliation.

Climate self-reinforcing amplifying feedbacks are irreversible on human timescales. Prof James Hansen postulates a temp rise of +2-3°C, perhaps only decades away, will represent a point of no return for the climate system & project us towards the existential runaway hothouse Earth scenario

An authoritarian out of touch government which steamrollers local authority expertise & ignores the will of the people/residents/ratepayers. UK politics is now just an accumulation of self-serving sociopaths.

As renewable electricity generatiin replaces fossil-fuelled generation, perhaps the potential surplus energy capacity from nuclear power generation can be utilized for adaptation projects or drawdown of atmospheric CO2 ?

James Hansen has for years been telling anyone who would listen, but of course there are only deaf ears where it really matters, like in the Oval Office, which is misguided by the misinformation & disinformation peddled by the Heritage Foundation.

Hitting a target sounds good until you realise a lot of the targets were empty or Iranian decoys, thus wasting expensive munitions of finite supply. Israeli intelligence has been guilty of wishful thinking more often than it will admit, thus altering preconceptions of a quick & decisive outcome.

Trump is living in a dream world that is turning into a nightmare. A grave miscalculation by wishful thinking from a grossly incompetent Oval Office incumbent.

Nothing in the USA excites the MAGAts more than the beat of war drums. They hypnotically watch Fox News where they can almost taste the blood of America's adversaries, & get wall-to-wall gibberish from the fire-breathing draft dodger Private 3rd Class Bonespurs who labels dead soldiers as "losers"

Iran retaliation against US-Israeli bombing raids will include renewed efforts to take out a US carrier. Such outcome is not impossible, despite the mythology of US military invincibility, & if Iran is successful then I propose the vessel should be posthumously renamed the USS Donald J Trump.

So the ill-advised moron Trump has launched his attack on Iran. However, he won't be so gung-ho if the US Navy lose a carrier or two - which is quite possible.

The moronic Trump Administration's destruction of scientific progress represents institutionalised wilful ignorance. This insane aberration ultimately endangers global stability of our environment, biosphere & the human species itself.

By adopting the right measures, we could theoretically halt the Total Cumulation of atmospheric CO2. Realistically we are unlikely to be able to significantly reduce The Earth Energy Imbalance without either removing atmospheric greenhouse gases, increasing total global ice sheet albedo, or geoeng

" .. what works and what doesn't .. ..". Could have been abbreviated to a 5min podcast on "what works", (ie real NET solutions). We've enough global problems without industry foisting a (CDR) white elephant onto us, as a palliative to emit yet more greenhouse gases. Feasible, meaningful ? NO
