You can get to a high-warming world without high emissions

That's the part of this week's "RCP 8.5 is implausible" discussion that's getting missed.
A short thread on why the relief is premature 🧵
What's it like to know the #climate crisis better than anyone?
I interviewed climate scientists about the weight of knowing, and how they navigate the gap between understanding and action.
🎥 New talk presented at @gsiexeter.bsky.social last week. Kindly hosted by @jamesgdyke.info.
Polar ice – 100Ks years of climate history.
Changed in a few human lifetimes?
As we heat the planet, ice sheets are pushed to melt irreversibly. But it gets trickier

🔔🚨 New Publication Alert!
Research has shown that the Antarctic Ice Sheet is a climate tipping element.
We found: it’s not one — it’s many.

NEW: How is climate change impacting the AMOC, the Atlantic currents that help keep Europe warm?
@carbonbrief.org’s new in-depth explainer covers:
🌊 How the AMOC is impacted by warming
🌎 What research says about AMOC collapse
🗞️ How the media covers AMOC

ClimTip | Climate Tipping Points in the Earth System

The AMOC is under threat from human-caused climate change, as warming seas, melting ice and increased rainfall upset the temperature and salt balance of the North Atlantic.
Global warming must peak below 2°C then return under 1.5°C as quickly as possible to limit the risk of dangerous “tipping points”, experts say. The new paper, by an international team of researchers...
