New report shows fossil fuel projects likely to emit more than carbon budget for whole industrial sector by 2030. Why should everyone else make deeper cuts to create room for more fossil fuels? It’s like accelerating towards a wall. #auspol climateanalytics.org/latest/…

Time to check in on the seas 🌊
Sea surface temperatures continue (SSTs) to run warm for the time of year.
Marine heat wave conditions persist in many coastal areas as well.
Warm SSTs will delay the seasonal transition to autumn.
Keep tabs on SSTs ⬇️

First, we ask that SBTi define permanent CDR as CO₂ remaining out of the atmosphere for at least 1,000 years.
CO₂ has an extremely long atmospheric residence: 20 to 30% remains after 1,000 years, and it takes ~500,000 years for complete removal by natural sinks.
