@Cop26P

In the lead up to COP, we believe it’s essential there be a coherent global plan for ending new fossil fuel financing.

We're officially launching! Our letter for the PM is complete. Thanks to the hundreds of you who have signed so far, and to @friends_earth and @PriceofOil for their advice. Let's end new fossil fuel financing this year! Keep signing up🌎 #cop26cap #keepitintheground #EarthDay

A new study has examined 20,736 scientific publications about climate tipping points. Several of those are estimated to be crossed around 1.5 degrees warming, i.e. any time soon: permafrost thaw, Greenland Ice Sheet, North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre. theconversation.com/some-cli…

Some climate tipping points are being studied far more than others – new research

Scientists aren’t focusing on the systems that may be closest to tipping.

That's *somewhere up here*. So far off the charts that it's off the charts.

We are in 'Gob Smackingly Bananas' territory. @BBCJustinR has written compellingly about this historic #ElNino, as government quietly admits carbon emissions from aviation will be 50% higher than thought and supports airport expansion. Kool aid all round.

Err check out the near vertical line, guys… This situation deserves as much attention as the AI threat does if not more as this one is definitely happening….

🚨The most important graph in the world has another 6 months of data!🚨 NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space. The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled over the past 26 years!

The most important graph in the world. Two years ago NASA showed the world that the rate of global heat uptake had doubled since 2005. It barely made the news. nasa.gov/feature/langley/joi…

Joint NASA, NOAA Study Finds Earth's Energy Imbalance Has Doubled - NASA

Researchers have found that Earth’s energy imbalance approximately doubled during the 14-year period from 2005 to 2019.

Mountain glaciers are losing mass increasingly fast world-wide over the past 75 years in response to #globalwarming. This and permafrost thawing can destabilize mountain sides and cause glacial collapse and flash floods. World Glacier Monitoring Service wgms.ch/global-glacier-state…

Climate experts have been predicting events like Nepal disaster for decades. By @jonathanwatts theguardian.com/world/2026/a…

Climate crisis could be destabilising mountain areas like Nepal, experts warn

Unusual heat this year may have melted ice and thawed bonds that hold glaciers in place – leading to catastrophe

Bizarrely this is now being described by @BBCWorld as a ‘flash flood’. Is this trying to normalise climate catastrophe? There are around 200,000 glaciers in the world available for ‘flash floods’. How many are in a similar state? @BBCJustinR bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr0qxd1y…

Foreign minister calls for 'global effort' to address climate change after devastating flash floods

A glacier collapse likely sparked Wednesday's floods in the Himalayan border region, killing at least 626 people, authorities say.

A glacier fails. A mountainside collapses. Hours later, entire communities downstream were engulfed by floodwaters. A climate scientist from Nepal explains what happened, and why it matters far beyond the Himalayas. news.un.org/en/story/2026/08…

As the Himalayas melt, deadly floods become the new normal

A day before a wall of ice, rock and muddy water tore through Himalayan valleys along the Nepal-China border, Dipesh Chapagain was discussing with a colleague just how devastating such a disaster...

'But we only produce 1% of world emissions' 'Glaciers have always collapsed' 'Climate has always changed' #ReleaseTheBots 😒

@ClaudiaWebbeAug 27
Nepal produces one tenth of one per cent of the world’s emissions and was ranked the 6th most climate-affected country on Earth in 2024. We did this.

Ominous conclusion from recent paper on an obscure warming event 304 million years ago. Low latitude warming of 3.5°C, at a rate of a tenth of a degree per thousand years, has potential to trigger catastrophic greenhouse gas release and ecosystem collapse pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26…

Fossil fuelled disaster. Is that right?
Arnaud Bertrand
@RnaudBertrandAug 27
Update: now pretty crystal clear from satellite images where was the glacier rupture site. Exact geocoordinates are 28°17'31.7"N 85°31'25.0"E, it's on the Nepal side right next to the China border. Looks like half a mountain completely collapsed.

What would governments do if tens of thousands of people were killed in an attack overnight? Do we not need to change the language and start calling out climate disasters? ‘Fossil fuelled catastrophe’ would put the blame where it lies at least.
Prof Julia Steinberger@JKSteinbergerAug 27
Re Nepal and climate disaster. Since 2023, I have started pretty much all my talks (and I give roughly 1 per week for my sins) with this picture of Derna, Libya. This is still, to my knowledge, the world's single deadliest climate disaster. 10'000-20'000 people killed overnight.

It appears that the disaster may be climate change related. We await more information nytimes.com/2026/08/26/world…

Deadly Nepal Flood May Have Been Caused by Ice Snapping Off Glacier, Scientists Say

An initial assessment of satellite imagery suggests an “ice avalanche” from a high-altitude glacier sent a giant cascade into the valley below.
