It's scary how fast the earth is warming.

For a long time, the 🌊 ocean surface was warming at a slower 🐌 rate but the warming rate appears to have caught up 🐇.

➡️ In our study about the jump in SSTs, we also estimated a 0.27°C per decade warming of global SSTs (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)

'I lost everything': Swiss residents in shock after glacier debris buries village
Swiss residents were struggling to absorb the scale of devastation caused by a huge chunk of glacier that has buried most of their picturesque village, in what scientists suspect is a dramatic example of the impact of climate change on the Alps.

The big story here isn’t the failure of direct air capture (DAC) as a CO₂ removal (CDR) technique. It’s that Iceland is turning its back on CDR.

Social acceptance is so important for CDR to succeed in the long term, and not enough effort is being put into this.

I have a new analysis over at The Climate Brink exploring how rates of warming have changed over the past century.

Post-1970, GHGs (CO2, CH4, etc.) would have led to just under 0.2C per decade, but falling aerosols (SO2) have increased that rate to 0.25C. www.theclimatebrink....

❓Did you know that many climate models—the ones we rely on for future planning—have a serious blind spot and may be overconfident.

A new study in @commsearth.bsky.social reveals why this is a problem. And it’s all about polar ice sheets and climate tipping points. 1/🧵
