🚨 GLOBAL HEAT ALERT 🚨 The UN is warning that July–August 2026 could bring temperatures ABOVE NORMAL across much of the world. 🌍 Extreme heat 💧 Growing water stress 🌾 Threats to agriculture ⚡ Pressure on energy systems This comes as a potentially historic El Niño continues to strengthen, raising fears that large parts of the planet could face dangerous heatwaves in the months ahead. The world is entering a period where records may not just be broken — they could be shattered. How hot do you think summer 2026 will get? 👇 #ClimateChange #Heatwave #ElNino #Weather #ClimateCrisis

🚨 AN INVISIBLE “FOREVER CHEMICAL” RAIN IS FALLING ACROSS THE ENTIRE PLANET. Chemicals introduced to protect the ozone layer may have quietly created a growing global pollution problem. A new study estimates that CFC replacements and certain anesthetic gases have deposited more than 335,500 tonnes of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) a highly persistent “forever chemical” onto Earth’s surface since 2000. TFA is now showing up in rainwater from every continent and even in remote Arctic ice. Why this matters: • TFA belongs to the PFAS family and resists breaking down in the environment for extremely long periods • It can travel globally through the atmosphere and is extremely difficult to remove once deposited • Levels are expected to keep rising for decades because some source gases remain in the air for a long time • Newer “climate-friendly” refrigerants (HFOs) are adding to the problem, especially in vehicle air conditioning The deeper implication is sobering: We solved one major environmental crisis (ozone depletion) by switching to new chemicals… only to discover those replacements are creating a different, potentially long-lasting global contamination issue. It’s a powerful reminder that every chemical substitution carries hidden risks we don’t always see until years later. How do we balance solving one environmental problem without creating another?

Im still in disbelief. Each new model that comes out - somehow - raises the expectation of a record breaking El Niño incoming. If for nothing other than my own clarity, I need to plot it - just to see how 2026 stacks up “IF” the models are right. Using @webberweather’s historical ENSO ONI data (3 month avg) and @hausfath ClimateBrink dynamical model ensemble forecast peak (3 month avg), this graph compares past events to the latest median dynamical model ensemble 2026-27 forecast. It seems hard to believe that this will verify, but holy cow… this would be one for the ages! This image uses the traditional ONI metric not factoring in global warming and the tropical oceans as a whole. But in the next post on this thread, I include that… 1/2 🧵

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temperatures warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention. #climate #globalwarming #science #climatechange

The planet is edging toward a climate milestone scientists have warned about for years and it could arrive sooner than expected. According to recent projections, Earth may officially surpass the 2.7°F (1.5°C) global warming threshold by 2029, a level widely regarded as a critical benchmark in the fight against climate change. For decades, researchers have emphasized the importance of keeping global temperature increases below this limit. Crossing it doesn't mean immediate catastrophe overnight, but it significantly raises the risk of more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, floods, wildfires, and other extreme weather events around the world. The concern is that warming is no longer progressing at the pace many experts once anticipated. Record-breaking temperatures, rising greenhouse gas emissions, and changing climate patterns are accelerating the timeline, bringing the world closer to a threshold that policymakers and scientists have worked to avoid. The 1.5°C target became a global focus because studies suggest that every fraction of a degree matters. Even small increases in average global temperatures can have major consequences for ecosystems, food production, water resources, coastal communities, and biodiversity. If current trends continue, the years leading up to 2029 could become some of the most important in modern climate history. Decisions made today regarding energy, transportation, industry, and emissions reductions may play a major role in shaping the severity of future climate impacts. The warning is clear: the margin for keeping warming below this critical limit is narrowing rapidly, and the next few years could determine the trajectory of the planet for generations to come. The countdown is no longer measured in decades it's being measured in years.

Given his recent Meet the Press mishap, this cheat sheet appears to be quite useful.

A massive nuclear waste tomb in the Pacific is beginning to crack and leak. The Runit Dome, constructed in the late 1970s on a remote island in the Marshall Islands, was built to contain over 120,000 tons of radioactive debris left behind by U.S. nuclear testing. Among the waste is plutonium-239, a highly dangerous isotope that remains radioactive for more than 24,000 years. The dome stretches roughly 377 feet (115 meters) across and was never properly sealed at the base. Instead, it rests directly on porous coral, allowing groundwater to flow freely beneath it. Now, rising sea levels and increasingly powerful storms are stressing the structure. Cracks have formed in the concrete, and scientists have already detected elevated radiation levels in the surrounding soil and water. While the current leaks are still considered relatively minor, experts warn that as oceans continue to rise, the risk of a much larger release will grow. Built as a temporary fix decades ago, the Runit Dome now stands as a stark reminder: the radioactive waste sealed inside it will remain hazardous long after our civilizations are gone.

If you think that dramatic spikes in ocean temperatures aren’t much of a concern, it’s time to think again. There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #heatwave #ClimateBreakdown
