Seven climate indicators hit records
1d
Scientists’ annual State of the Climate report found Earth’s climate system increasingly unstable, with seven of 16 planetary vital signs at their most extreme levels on record.
The only way to prevent geoengineering turning into a giant shitshow is to have a robust and credible planetary governance structure, but if we had one of those we would have already stopped climate change
Is there something scarier than climate change? Maybe it’s an uncontrolled solar geoengineering arms race between nations distrustful of who controls the global thermostat.
They War-Gamed Dimming the Sun. It Went Even Worse Than You Think
Solar geoengineering could buy humanity time against climate change—or trigger a dangerous new arms race. A first-of-its-kind simulation offered a glimpse of what happens when geopolitics takes the wh...

2026 global SST anomaly has now broken the previous (Jan 24) record by 0.04C. Given 3 years of warming ~0.3/decade, we should expect it to beat the old record by ~0.1C before the El Niño peaks (~Dec/Jan):

Climate action isn't just about avoiding a worse future. It's about building a better one.
A world where clean energy is affordable, the air is safer to breathe and communities are better protected from extreme weather is within reach.

Why does El Niño bring floods to some countries and drought to others?
El Niño is a natural climate pattern that alters weather worldwide, with impacts that vary by region.
This explains what it is, why it matters, and how the UN is helping communities prepare: news.un.org/en/story/202...
