The carbon price should be high enough to meet emissions reductions necessary to hold warming to 1.5˚C:
By 2030, US$/tCO2 price on fossil fuel production:

As early as 1957, major oil and gas companies have known that burning fossil fuels would pose significant risks to humanity.
For decades, fossil fuel industry leaders were warned that, unless action was taken,

Bilbao’s underwater right now along with Bangkok. From Asia to Europe flooding has virtually become the norm. The atmosphere holds 7% more water for every 1°C of warming. Guess what happens when it cools down. I wonder how prepared our cities are, actually let’s face facts, we’re totally unprepared. Schoolboy error!

A fact, whether you deny physics or not, whether you are right or left wing, whether you love your family or not, whether you are pro or anti immigration, whether you support AI or not, is that human caused climate change won't stop getting WORSE until we reach net zero:

Lincoln, Nebraska picked up 6.15" yesterday and broke a daily rainfall record that had stood since 1910.
The heaviest 1% of rain events in the Midwest are already up 45% since 1958.
That record didn't fall because of bad luck.

Most people won't even recognize what is going on, but the stresses that climate change imposes on human systems will often increase costs that ripple through the economy as a pernicious source of inflation.
“The findings are part of the growing body of research into how climate change is reshaping inflation, a phenomenon some economists dub “climateflation”… a permanent rise in everyday living costs driven by fossil fuel dependency and extreme weather destruction, locking in persistent inflation that strains household budgets worldwide”

El Niño is natural. Nobody made it happen, the climate change is in increasing the starting point.
But that water is just under 30°C, warmer than any day in 20 years of this record, and it set that mark in September. El Niño doesn't peak until November or December.
Two months left to run.

It’s here. Warmest daily average global sea surface temperature anomaly within the ERA5 record (breaking prior record of January 10, 2024). These daily records are now likely to be broken repeatedly over the remainder of the year (or at least several more times).

Jack Smith: "Our nondisclosure orders were not predicated on the idea that members of Congress or members of this committee would commit acts of obstruction. It was based on a real concern that Donald Trump and his associates would do that because they had done it and they did it again. Donald Trump, in our case, in the elections case, later suggested that a witness, General Mark Milley, should be put to death. He said, 'if you come after me, I'm coming after you.' Election workers in Georgia, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, faced vile, racist death threats because of the things that Donald Trump said and how he targeted her. We had an absolute basis to seek protection of our investigation from that sort of obstruction.

Absolutely appalling withdrawal from global development.
Foreign aid contributions fell in 2025 amongst almost all of the top 10 donors.
In 2025, the amount of foreign aid given by the world’s richest countries fell by almost a quarter. That amounted to a reduction of roughly US$50 billion.
Aid cuts in the United States — and the shutdown of its agency for international development, USAID — got the most attention, and for good reason: the US is the world’s largest aid donor in dollar terms, so its contributions make a huge difference to the global total.
But many other countries cut their aid contributions, too. In the chart, you can see the change among the largest 10 donors (in dollar terms) from 2024 to 2025. This is given as a share of their gross national income.
Contributions fell in eight of the ten countries. Only Sweden and Italy increased their budgets.
The countries shown are the largest donors in dollar terms; some others not shown contribute far more in relative terms: Norway, for example, was the only country to give more than 1% of its national income to foreign aid.

Lots of us have been trying to warn about this for the last 20 years.
We’ve been treated like lunatics and extremists and lots of protesters have been put in prison. We’re now reaching a point where consequences are occurring. You can’t say we didn’t warn you.

Matthew Wielicki runs the office that writes America's climate report. His field is geochemistry, dating ancient crystals and impact craters. He just compared two degrees of warming by 2100 to the temperature change between 8 and 10 in the morning. Yikes!
