Important (and worrying) new paper by Dr Kaitlin Naughten and co-workers about West Antarctic ice sheet melting out. Results are very concerning, but conclusions that we "lost control" entirely might be a bit exaggerated. nature.com/articles/s4155… A thread 1/

Ever wondered if fossil wealth should pay for their climate damage and contribute to loss damage finance? Together with Marina Andrijevic Joeri Rogelj Jarmo Kikstra and Richard Heede we did the numbers. Check it out here 👇👇👇

Good news from Climate Analytics: Global emissions could start falling in 2024, with 2023 as the peak. We must sustain our efforts to reach this crucial point & finally turn the tide. IPCC says peaking before 2025 is critical to keep 1.5 within reach. Let's build on this momentum!#COP28

📽️ Why Overshoot Pathways Will Leave the Cryosphere Behind The event will showcase research on policy-relevant climate overshoot scenarios, where temperatures would temporarily exceed 1.5°C before being brought back down at the end of the century. Watch now! ⬇️ PROVIDE

What an amazing (and scary) study! Octopus DNA 🧬confirms for the first time that the West #Antarctic Ice Sheet collapsed in the past with temperatures similar to today (0.5-1.5C above preindustrial), causing massive sea level rise Congrats to the authors- such novel analysis!

NEW – ‘Every 0.1C’ of overshoot above 1.5C increases risk of crossing tipping points | Ayesha Tandon w/ comment from Annika Högner Tessa Möller David A. McKay (@[email protected]) Read here: buff.ly/3WrtNnx

Overshooting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C warming limit could tip critical Earth systems into unstable states, but the impacts can be minimised by swiftly reversing the warming, new research shows. imperial.ac.uk/news/255216/cl…

🆕study: Tipping risks from overshooting 1.5 °C can be minimised, if global warming is swiftly reversed, a new study shows. Reducing emissions in the current decade is crucial for the stability of the Earth systems functions, scientists find: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…

Are you aware of the potentially disastrous risks of climate tipping points? Do you want to know how our actions and decisions in this decade can impact the chances of these tipping points being avoided? We look into this question in a new scientific study in Nature Communications /1

We are rapidly approaching tipping points, and every 0.1°C of avoided warming reduces risk. Check out our new paper on tipping point risks and cascades, summarized here by Carbon Brief carbonbrief.org/every-0-1c-of-…

And here is the paper, providing even more evidence that a race-to-zero emissions is necessary if we are to have a chance of manageable outcomes for people across the world nature.com/articles/s4146…

Die aktuelle Klimapolitik birgt ein Risiko von 45 Prozent, mindestens einen #Kipppunkt auszulösen, zeigt eine neue Studie. Das müsse und könne verhindert werden, so die Autor:innen. Eine Welt nach dem Kippen sei heute nicht vorstellbar. klimareporter.de/erdsystem/kipp…
