CNN on our new study: A mysterious ‘cold blob’ in the ocean has puzzled scientists. A new study says it’s an ominous sign | CNN edition.cnn.com/2026/06/12/c…

El Niño is born! Destined to be the biggest in 150 years ?? NOAA declares: El Niño Advisory This morning conditions in the Eastern Pacific met the criteria for El Niño. This means Sea Surface Temps reached a certain level above normal, and the ocean and atmosphere “coupled” meaning they are now working in tandem to produce impacts. This event is widely advertised by models to be potentially the strongest on record. El Niño takes very hot water stored in the deep tropical west Pacific, pushing it east and up to the surface, lofting that heat into the atmosphere, which supercharges weather events and throws the climate off-kilter. This typical means more intense heatwaves & floods, but also it restrains the Atlantic hurricane season. So its impacts are both good and bad. One thing seems virtually certain: the heat released into the atmosphere will make for some unprecedented events through 2027, and on top of longterm warming, the hottest global temperatures in many tens of 1000s of years. #ElNino #florida #storm #heatwave #flood #drought

New Anthropocene paper. Earth still operates in "Holocene logic", buffering heat imbalance. Anthropocene = Pressure. But, BAU, reaching 3°C in 2100 & we get "stuck" in a Hothouse trajectory for 1000 years. Anthropocene risks turning into a state. No Good. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

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

Three scenarios discussed in our article illustrate the choices and risks we face. Let's aim for the green one. We still have a choice, and are not yet destined to bequeath a much less habitable planet to future generations. Our children and grandchildren deserve a fair chance.

The climate crisis explained in 7 graphs. New data shows rising emissions are intensifying floods, droughts and water insecurity — but also highlights signs of hope as some countries reduce emissions. buff.ly/0Pkl0r5 #WaterAction = #ClimateAction #WorldEnvironmentDay

I try hard every day not to be paralysed by the latest publications on our cryosphere, but today I just can't. Aaron Cremona and colleagues just published yesterday in The Cryosphere, a paper tracking daily mass balance for every single one of the 1400 glaciers in the Swiss alps from 2010 to 2024. !! The result is heartbreaking: in 15 years, the Swiss glaciers have lost on average almost 25% of their 2010 volume. / We are truly entering a new era in Glaciology. So much so that now it is accepted to talk about the upcoming peak glacier extinction. In Nature Climate Change, Lander Van Tricht et al., introduce the new concept. It is basically the year in which the largest number of glaciers will disappear. At the moment, the paper says that we lose around 750-800 glaciers per year already (!). Global peak exctinction will happen somewhere between 2041 and 2055, with 4000 glaciers lost per year. It's basically like losing all the glaciers in the Alps ever year. But here is what is interesting, this peak extinction depends on what we decide today. → At 1.5°C, peak hits around 2041 at around 2,000 glaciers per year. Nearly 50% of today's glaciers still stand in 2100. → At 2.7°C, roughly where current national pledges still place us only ~ 20% remain by 2100. • At 4°C, fewer than 10% survive. In Europe, almost no glaciers would be left. So. There you have it. Limiting warming to 1.5°C more than doubles the number of glaciers that survive the century. We are starting the UNESCO Decade of Cryosphere, let's make sure it does not become the decade of peak extinction for our mountain glaciers.

“The Arctic is currently warming at four times the rate experienced by the rest of the planet. But the Antarctic has started to catch up, so that it is already warming twice as quickly as the planet overall.” buff.ly/lXt4VwP No time to waste. #ActOnClimate #climate

With a Strong El Niño imminent, concern grows for life on the Galapagos. El Niño is a natural cyclical phenomenon but it can be devastating to the #Galápagos Islands. In the 1982-83 event 77% of the penguin population did not survive. 97% of the shallow water coral perished. That’s because cold water upwelling and nutrients are shutdown, as warm water invades the eastern Equatorial islands. This animation explains how it works! #elnino #stem #science

Why should we care that Earth's Energy Imbalance has more than doubled? Because that's what drives the climate to change. It's really that simple!

Ocean heating is - literally - off the chart. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re

Huge Pacific Heatwave - larger than North America - with record heat spanning 6,000 miles across, peaking in the East Pacific. The highest anomalies are near the Galápagos Islands, a clear sign a mighty El Niño is beginning. This excess heat infused in the climate system throws everything off-kilter globally, making heatwaves more extreme, floods more intense, but also subduing Atlantic hurricane season. #elnino #heatwave #pacific
