What is a climate tipping point? Here my 60-second explanation at the New York Times Climate Forward last week. If you want to know more about the tipping point of the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC, on which I've worked for over 30 years, watch this: youtu.be/ZHNNW8c_FaA?si=RXiY…

A study led by @NatalyaGomezEPS at @mcgillu and co-authored by UCS’s Dr. Shaina Sadai, in Science Advances, investigates ice sheet & solid Earth interactions, concluding solid Earth can help protect the Antarctic ice sheet—only if we cut emissions now. act.ucsusa.org/3LSudOV

The co-authors of a new study show that the level of sea level rise is affected by how the Earth reacts as ice sheets melt.

It’s #MangroveDay! According to a study led by @Macquarie_Uni & #EOSsg, without mitigation, relative sea level rises under current climate change projections will exceed the capacity of coastal habitats such as mangroves to adapt. Read more: bit.ly/46gOIOG #FactFriday

Cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 kill 1.85 billion birds 🦜🕊🪶 every year in the #US But no calls for cats to be banned Buildings 🏢 kill 675 million birds Vehicles 🚛🚙 214 million birds We poison ☠️ 72 million birds Wind turbines 💨 kill just 328,000 & #climatechange deniers want to ban them!

Mangrove planting world records might look good on paper, but often do not work. Fantastic article from @james_kairo, Chief Scientist of @KmfriResearch nation.africa/kenya/health/n… Let’s have a world record for % survived, not number planted!
No record is achieved by planting mangroves in the wrong areas

No record is achieved by planting mangroves in the wrong areas

Due to extreme salinity and desiccating temperatures, the recently planted mangroves will all die off and thus no new Guinness world record will be achieved

Is the #AMOC approaching a tipping point? Here's my take after researching this topic for over 30 years. Open access, peer-reviewed, in full colour & understandable for non-experts. tos.org/oceanography/article…

Climate Chronicles: sea ice in 2023, by Lettie Roach and Walt Meier. Antarctic SIE was the lowest on record (annual mean = 9.81 mil km2) beating the 2022 minimum. Arctic SIE was also low (annual mean = 10.49 mil km2, but did not break any records. nature.com/articles/s43017-0…

If our planet were a patient, it would be admitted to intensive care. Its vital signs are alarming. Collective action is needed to address the #ClimateCrisis, air and chemical pollution, including by adopting a Plastics Treaty, #PandemicAccord and supporting a #OneHealth approach, to make our world healthier and safer.

My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share
