We’ve got a new paper out on climate #TippingPoints in @ScienceMagazine: “Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points” science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… Explainer: climatetippingpoints.info/20… 🧵Thread on what it says, & the implications: 1/30 #ClimateChange
Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points

Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points

Global warming greater than 1.5°C could trigger multiple climate tipping points.

“Before, it was a handful of people—next to burning forests, or trapped by rising seas. Now? It’s London, a burning Spain, a flooded Yellowstone, a drought-stricken American West, a scorched Indian Subcontinent, Australia and Canada ravaged by megafires.” eand.co/the-summer-extinctio…

The extreme weather we're seeing in the Northern Hemisphere appears to be a consequence of "resonance". We've shown that these conditions are favored by climate change, but models don't capture this well: psu.edu/news/research/story/… & science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Controlling future summer weather extremes still within our grasp | Penn State University

Continued burning of fossil fuels is likely to fuel even more extreme summers than that of 2018 because of its impact on the jet stream. The rapid disappearance of aerosols produced by pollution may,...

This farm produces 15% of Australia's annual trust tomatoes using #solarpower & seawater. It uses zero fossil fuels, zero soil, zero pesticides, zero groundwater. We have the solutions. Implement them #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #energy #solar #renewables #GreenNewDeal

These water turbines can create renewable energy 24 days a year, 7 days a week. Designed not to block the natural flow of the river means its environmental impact is minimal. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #climate #energy

My take after latest IPCC Report we need Absolute Zero GHG 2050: 50% GHG 2030. A Clean Aviation Moonshot. Anything less misses the mark. #sunxmalta #ClimateFriendlyTravel #codered #plan4ourkids

Great leadership from #SaudiArabia to build a world-first multi-country, multi-stakeholder initiative to combat #ClimateChange and support #tourism’s transition to #NetZero. This week we welcomed global experts who will drive forward the STGC's mandate. Thanks for your support!
