One mature tree absorbs about 22 kg of CO₂ a year. Plant 1,000 trees and that's 22 tonnes pulled from the air, every year, for decades. Small seeds. Big math. 🌱

The chance to keep global warming below 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone. But urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5°C by 2100. Current policies, however, put the 🌎 on course for up to 2.8°C this century. New #EmissionsGap Report: unep.org/en/news-and-stories…

Supersized heat waves used to be rare. No longer. A Reuters data-driven examination of global temperatures reveals the emergence of what we call heat storms. They now swarm the planet, upending life around the world. reut.rs/4zBUXtM

It's hard to believe that some experts aren't aware that El Niños have a step-change (ratchet) effect on global climate. El Niño warming is categorically not temporary. It is irreversible, permanent, forever. El Niño is the engine that heats up the planet in apocalyptic surges. This might be the single most important thing to understand about our situation. For clarity, I added the steps to the graph...

Nature underpins everything we need to survive.  The world agreed to conserve 30% of land and seas and restore 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. But these targets are off track.  #COP17Armenia is a chance to take stock and speed up action.  What’s on the agenda: unep.org/en/news-and-stories…

Every fraction of a degree of global warming matters. Yet greenhouse gas emissions remain at record levels. The new @UNEP #EmissionsGap Report shows what it will take to change course & pull back from the brink of a climate catastrophe. unep.org/en/news-and-stories…

Even if every country delivers its climate pledges, the world is on track for around 2.6°C of warming by 2100, says the new UN Emissions Gap Report. PIK’s @jrockstrom warns the damage could be greater still: if the US steps back, others may follow. economictimes.indiatimes.com…

A newly released UN climate report finds the globe will unavoidably slip past the Paris Climate Agreement's 1.5-degree Celsius warming target in the next few years. The task now, the report states, is to make the period of warming "overshoot" as limited as possible, eventually bringing global average temperatures back down. cnn.it/4z63Z2o

The gap is stark: the new UN Emissions Gap Report finds that global emissions must fall 18% by 2030 and 45% by 2035, alongside a scale-up of carbon removal, to minimise 1.5°C overshoot and return below 1.5°C by 2100. 2 chapters were led by PIK scientists. pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…

"The “statistial significance” of this model is overwhelming, i.e. we can resoundingly reject the hypothesis that global average SST has warmed at the same rate for the last several decades. It’s a lot faster now (about 0.3°C/dec) than it was before 2012 (less than 0.1°C/dec)."
