Leaving #COP28 with mixed feelings. Naming fossil fuels explicitly in the outcome for the first time in three decades of climate negotiations is a far overdue, hard won step, especially for a summit held in a petrostate... 1/n

Politicians are failing us abysmally on the #ClimateCrisis. Can comedians step up and save the day? Watch the heroic Jo Brand give it a proper shot with scientist @ProfMarkMaslin 🔥 If this doesn't prompt revolution, what will? Please share far and wide! #NoNewOil #COP28

Breaking News! Well humanity, we did it, even if just for one day. Yesterday, Nov. 18, was the first time in recorded history that the global 2m surface temperature breached 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline. The long-term average remains below 1.5°C. But not for long.

🚨HOT OFF THE PRESS🚨 The State of the Cryosphere 2023 report confirms even 2°C warming will trigger irreversible loss to ice sheets, glaciers, snow, sea ice, permafrost, and polar oceans with disastrous consequences for society and nature 🧵 Read here: iccinet.org/statecryo23/

Okay... For more info: nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2…. For more graphs: zacklabe.com/antarctic-sea-i….
Line graph time series of 2023's daily Antarctic sea ice extent anomaly compared to 2016, which was previously the record for the largest magnitude sea ice anomaly. 2023 is a record for low for the current date and now a large outlier. The range in sea ice anomalies between 1979 and 2022 is also shown. Anomalies are computed to a 1981-2010 baseline using passive microwave satellite data.

I found #COP27 hard, but it's great to see that the #cryosphere made it into the cover text. Big well done to @iccinet for the persistence to make that happen! My latest video about why the #polar regions matter at COP, ft. the fabulous @RobbieMallett: youtu.be/WF5d4eoiS3I
#COP27 was hard. Here’s why.

Thats all from my time at #COP27! ✅ 3 talks ✅ 3 panel discussions ✅ 42 icy events ✅ 1 prince ✅ 1 senator ✅ Many ministers ✅ Lots of Egyptian sandwiches Lots to reflect on, but remain hopeful that decent policies remain (just about) in reach.🤞progress accelerates in wk2

In Himalaya, the sheer ignorance &/or indifference about the impending calamity is as catastrophic as the loss of ice mass threatening a civilization of 2 billion people. @NaomiAKlein @billmckibben @ProfBillMcGuire @DavidSuzukiFDN @harari_yuval jiwankshetry.substack.com/p/…
