Climate justice isn’t radical — ignoring physics is.

Climate policy is irrelevant unless Earth’s energy imbalance falls.
Temperatures, targets and timelines are just symptoms.
The only question that matters is whether the planet is gaining or losing heat.
Right now, it’s still gaining.

Surface temperature is noisy because it’s controlled by the ocean’s short-term breathing — El Niño, La Niña, winds and mixing.
But the Earth’s energy imbalance is the clean signal.
It tells you whether the planet is still heating, regardless of the wiggles.

Over 90% of the excess heat from our energy imbalance goes into the oceans.
That’s why atmospheric temperature can wobble with El Niño and La Niña, while the underlying energy accumulation stays remarkably steady.
The ocean reveals the real trend.

I’m not asking anyone to agree with Hansen — just to refute him scientifically. So far the pushback is mostly hand-waving about “variability”, even as records fall during La Niña. If his physics is wrong, show where. That’s how science works.

Perhaps because IPCC was granted the position of extreme authority.
But in science supreme authority is not granted to anyone.

Warming continues as long as Earth absorbs more energy than it emits.
The pace depends on the size and trend of the imbalance.
That’s why real climate solutions must affect the physics, not just the politics.

A little pet peeve. It’s not exactly that tropical rainforests have “gone from being allies in the fight against climate breakdown to being part of the problem.” Forests lose carbon when people cut them (or via fire) and gain carbon when trees grow. It’s that the losing is outweighing the gaining.

People keep saying “AI makes misinformation worse.”
Maybe. But that skips the uncomfortable truth: misinformation was already flooding media, politics, and social platforms long before AI arrived. AI didn’t invent the problem — it amplified the system we built.

When mainstream experts start opening the door to ideas that were previously off-limits, it’s because the status quo no longer fits the physical reality. The climate crisis is pressuring economics — not the other way around.
This new report from the Grantham Institute is crucial. And it's quite striking to see it published... it seems to indicate people are willing to consider policy ideas long treated as taboo.
