Very sobering from Prof. Bob Watson as the impacts mount at +1.28°C of warming.

The #Mediterranean is on fire at the moment.
#Heatwaves #Europe
⚠️ Early Warning
“The ongoing scorching heatwave across Europe and Turkey’s S and SE parts will finish with a deep upper wave emerging from the west, producing a major severe weather event across the Alpine region, northern Mediterranean, and central Balkan countries.”

Tourism on a heating planet.
The economic impact of where we are headed is coming into focus and this at 1.28°C of warming.
Heatwaves, fires & drought do not go hand in hand with having a relaxing summer holiday.

The truth is we are completely and utterly unprepared for a world at +1.5°C
We can hardly cope with the current +1.28°C

As heat domes sit over Asia, Europe and the US, this is a critical piece of #ClimateLiteracy regarding #Heatwaves
“Overnight minimum temperatures are expected to reach new highs. This is concerning because repeated high night-time temperatures are particularly dangerous for human health because the body is unable to recover from hot days, leading to increased cases of heart attacks and death. Whilst most of the attention focuses on daytime maximum temperatures, it is the overnight temperatures which have the biggest health risks, especially for vulnerable populations.
“We need the world to broaden its attention beyond the maximum temperature alone. In many locations where the maximum is reaching into the high 40°Cs and higher, the temperature may still be near 40°C at midnight. In these circumstances, the minimum temperature is more important for health and failing critical infrastructure during extreme heatwaves.”—John Nairn WMO extreme heat advisor.

There is absolutely no way to “negotiate” with the physics of our dumping 39 Gt CO2 into the atmosphere per year.
This behaviour results in accelerating climate change as can be witnessed by the rise in the global average temperature to +1.27°C above pre industrial averages.
If we continue to treat earths atmosphere as a CO2 sewer we will all but ensure catastrophic climate change within the next 70 years.
We understand the physics. As a result we also understand what we need to do to avert catastrophe.
Here it is: We need to go from emitting 39 Gt CO2 per year to 19 Gt CO2 by 2030.
This means we need to look at EVERY emission source and avoid it or shift to non-carbon emitting energy sources.
If your business burns fossil fuels to generate revenue it would be prudent for the long term survival of your business to decouple revenue generation from the need to burn fossil fuels as a matter of urgency.
If you don’t do this voluntarily be assured that you will be forced to do so in the near future.
Voluntary transition is WAY less painful than forced transition as Air France-KLM just discovered.

Which will it be?
#ClimateLiteracy #ClimateCrisis #Leadership
We are at +1.27°C of warming. And CO2 atmospheric concentrations at at 424.68 ppm (June)
The resulting extreme weather events are now so common they hardly make the news anymore.
This is #Zaragoza, #Spain, on Thursday July 6th after an extreme precipitation event caused a flash flood trapping people in their cars as roads turned into raging rivers.
We are in a climate emergency.

What 
Image Context.
2016 & 2020 were tied the hottest years on record.
On Aug 14, 2016 a daily global average 2m air temperature record was set at 16.92°C
On July 11, 2020 the highest average was 16.82°C
On Mon July 3, 2023 we broke the 2016 record with a new high of 17.01°C
Yesterday, Tuesday July 4, 2023👇🏻
🧪 
So there will be no Threads for the EU for the “foreseeable future.”
#Meta #Threads
Yesterday we broke a record.
We recorded an average global temperature of +17.01ºC for the first time since instrumental records began.
With another month or so of heating to go before it turns down again 2023 may become the warmest year on record, beating out 2016.
The impacts of the #climatecrisis are being felt in #China there is no doubt about that:
"China will face multiple natural disasters in July, including floods, severe convection weather, typhoons and high temperatures, authorities warned."

So the same as Twitter basically
So basically like Twitter 
With your re acidification — and here is where we stand on that front:
“Prior to the Industrial Revolution, average ocean pH was about 8.2. Today, average ocean pH is about 8.1. This might not seem like much of a difference, but the relationship between pH and acidity is not direct. Each decrease of one pH unit is a ten-fold increase in acidity. This means that the acidity of the ocean today, on average, is about 25% greater than it was during preindustrial times.” (https://www.epa.gov/ocean-acidification/understanding-science-ocean-and-coastal-acidification#:~:text=Solutions%20with%20low%20pH%20are,ocean%20pH%20is%20about%208.1.)
