We were warned. Four months ago top Himalayan experts reported the rate of ice loss doubling since 2000, with glaciers shrinking by fifth since 1990. “This isn’t a distant problem”they said. “It’s happening in real time”. They predicted “catastrophe”.

BOREAL FOREST BURNING - CANADA & SIBERIA
The forest is burning from heat and dryness. The area burning is vast. It emits CO2, and its carbon sink capacity declines as more is burned. It's a planetary catastrophe. (NASA FIRMS) #wildfire #climatechange #globalwarming

When the Arctic circle and North American boreal forests burn simultaneously, it’s no longer a "future prediction." It's a current emergency. Heatwaves are tearing through Canada and Norway, turning damp, cold ecosystems into tinderboxes. We aren't approaching a tipping point—we are living in it. 🧵

Canada is on fire.
Europe is on fire.
The Amazon is on fire.
Cities are breaking heat records.
Rivers are drying up.
Other countries are drowning in floods.
Storms are getting stronger.
Seasons don’t feel like seasons anymore.
And somehow…
climate change is still a debate.

November 2025 was the third warmest November on record in ERA5 at 1.54C above preindustrial levels – below only the records set in the prior two years (2023 and 2024):

NEW: Our early estimate of Canada’s national emissions is out and shows progress stalled in 2024.
The country’s 2030 targets are now out of reach, emphasizing the need for a coordinated policy reset with the federal and provincial governments. ⬇️

If this plays out as forecast, we may see near modern-day record September global temperatures before too long.
The latest day (Sept. 12) was 1.4C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline.

CLIMATE CHANGE COSTS $38 TRILLION BY 2050
Under a future 'middle of the road' scenario, global economic costs of climate change amount to thirty eight trillion dollars by 2050. The US, Europe and China have large economic costs. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

An odd choice of headline when you discover the same report also predicts billions of deaths.
But the belief that money trumps life runs deep in this suicidal system.

NASA, 3 Sept. Extraordinary image of a vast area of thick toxic smoke that covers much of the province, from multiple wildfires. We are allowing the fossil fuel industry to burn up the life supporting biosphere. #wildfire #climatechange #globalwarming

icymi: faster change is likely over the decades to come 🧵
Global warming will now further accelerate (its an thermodynamic imperative with now several studies supporting it)

Needlessly wasteful & further accelerating us toward catastrophe.
The gas flare is the perfect symbol for our civilization’s final act.

Wow - the regenerative power of #Nature is Ah-Mazing!

We have enough productive capacity to ensure good lives for 8 billion. And yet, because capital controls production, deprivation remains endemic. This new study shows *95%* of surveyed households in low/middle-income countries are denied access to basics. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Our corporate-owned food system is decimating ecosystems & driving insects to extinction.
But without insects we have no food system.
We urgently take food out of the hands of multinationals, we change what we eat & how we produce it.
Or we watch a planet starve.

The rate of annual sea level rise has more than doubled over the past 30 years.

What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic. It affects us all.
The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) has released their Summary Arctic Climate Change Update. Read it: amap.no/documents/doc/arctic…
Nobody can later say they weren't warned, again and again.
