4 years ago yesterday we lost #KonradSteffen in Greenland ice. He's still there. What a legend.

Back from Greenland (via Reykjavik Iceland) - leading my annual program about climate change and rising sea level. The personal experience defies description, but even the airplane seat map helps put the scale in perspective. risingseasinstitute.org/greenland-expe…

Very well done video showing the simultaneous, compound climate shocks going on all over the World. If people could only see how much extreme weather is happening daily in all parts of the World, they’d understand that we are way off kilter.

BREAKING: Former President Trump says he will get rid of the Department of Education if elected president.
“We’ll have a tiny group to make sure everyone is teaching English, math, etc. Department of Education goes.”

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️

@NPS_Monterey It was a privilege to be part of this panel about rising seas
English
On May 2, NPS was pleased to welcome a distinguished panel of experts to discuss how rising sea levels pose a challenge to military operations in the latest NPS Seapower Conversation, “Navigating the Tide: Rising Seas as a Threat to Readiness.” Read more: linkedin.com/posts/nps-mont…

@EliotJacobson @jembendell Generally overlooked is relationship of global sea level to global temperature. As planet warms, new SLR equilibrium approx 20 meters per degree C, as shown by blue line to red line, over millennia. With current 1.5 degrees, it's time to plan our move to higher ground.
English
Yet another excellent article by @jembendell ~
"1 year versus 500 years. Can we agree something’s happening here? I’d say it’s exactly clear: these measurements demonstrate that we are in the midst of abrupt climate change."

February continues Earth's record warm streak axios.com/2024/02/20/feb… Hard to overstate how ominous these record global temperatures are. Watch this for the next several months, to see if the dramatic up trend persists. More heat > glacial melting > higher global sea level.

What's beyond Code UFB?
Yesterday, a new record-high for the global sea-surface temperature was reached at 21.12°C, beating the previous record of 21.10°C.
New records should continue almost daily for about the next six weeks, please forgive me if I don't report them all.

@climate_ice Thanks for this Jason. It is useful and timely.

A big problem is that everyone thinks they know what they're talking about, people with big platforms, unaware they're talking rubbish.

Yes, our climate targets will fail because plans to meet them are mostly empty words. They are slightly slowing down the developments though, so still better than nothing. Of course we should keep on trying, and of course activists will keep on insisting the impossible is possible and then complain that no one is listening to them. The reason all this climate talk goes nowhere is that most climate activists misidentify the source of the problem. It's not a technological problem -- we have known how to avoid climate change since we've learned of it. The problem is that we have no system to convert this knowledge into collective action. The only global system that we have to aggregate information and coordinate actions to use resources are free market economies. And for those to work, we'd have had to put a price on carbon dioxide emissions. Which we did not. So for several decades now we have witnessed meetings and demonstrations and countless opinion pieces that amounted to very little. It is not hard to predict what is going to happen from here on because the default mode of humans is simply to keep on doing what they've been doing. This is why Carbon Capture and Storage and Carbon Dioxide Removal (eg BECCS) will become increasingly widespread -- because they'll allow nations too keep on doing what they're doing. I see in my mentions that some people insist I must be dumb for not understanding that CCS and CDR are costly, ineffective, and unlikely to scale. Well, yes, I am so dumb that I said this in a video two years ago. I am not saying it's a good solution. I'm simply saying it's how it will go because it's the closest we can manage to a market for carbon. And fossil fuel companies know this full well. And since that is very unlikely to keep global warming below 3 degrees, we'll end up doing stratospheric aerosol injections. Again, a stupid thing to do. I'm not saying we should do it. I am merely saying this is what I think will happen. Why? Because it's cheap and we know how to do it and the more we think about it, the more appealing it will look. If you want to know what I think we should do, well, I've said this before. Expand solar, wind and most importantly nuclear, CCS on fossil fuel plants, upgrade the electric grids, and stop wasting money on nonsense, like for example those COP meetings... x.com/erikengheim/st…

Great piece in @Nature today exploring if its too late to keep warming below 1.5C (yes, at least without overshoot) but also highlighting the accelerating energy transition that is occurring worldwide. I was happy to help with a few figures in the piece: nature.com/immersive/d415…
