This is a photo of our home planet taken only a few hours ago! So what? We have photos of Earth taken from space every day. Ah, but *this* photo was taken by a spacecraft ON ITS WAY TO JUPITER.

From the source: "Mostly black space, most of Earth visible at the top right of the image. Part of a spacecraft visible on the left."

A dangerous and potentially historic wildfire smoke event is headed toward the Great Lakes and Northeast. Yesterday, record 100° heat, very dry fuels, and strong winds worsened wildfires near the Minnesota/Ontario border. Their smoke will affect MN, WI, MI, OH, NY, NJ, and PA on Wed-Thu. (1/8)

Heartbreaking visible image of a potentially generational storm, and a likely reflection of broader trends—greater ocean warmth and depth of warmth, faster intensification rates, slower forward speeds, and greater rainfall rates.

The Northern Pacific Ocean is currently smashing temperature records. And it is reaching these levels far earlier than the current generation of climate models had expected. A short thread 🧵

Inadvertently, this is an incredible illustration of how (a) the infrastructure required for fossil fuel extraction is bonkers and (b) how we don't consider our oil and gas to be 'destroying nature' like wind turbines simply bc it's undersea

Recently I met with the Board of Equinor to present how technology is innovating the way we work and how it could solve hurdles we are facing.

I started by showing this picture. Wells at the Troll field in the North Sea compares to the size of Bergen and Stavanger (here showing only Bergen).

When Troll was discovered in 1979 there were no technology available to bring the gas to shore. There where issues to solve, like water depths to conquer, the Norwegian Trench to cross. And the thin layer of oil on top of the reservoir needed a solution.

The result?
Equinor and partners built the largest manmade object ever to be moved, developed horizontal drilling to penetrate the thin oil layers, and built an extensive network of pipelines and gas processing capability to provide reliable gas to Europe.

The key to success has been development of technology, with record-long wells and advanced downhole equipment, together with a strong focus on standardisation and visualization of data.
As Europe’s largest energy supplier, Equinor is aiming to maintain the production at the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) at today’s levels also in 2035, targeting 1.2 million barrels of oil equivalents per day.

Yet here is our new reality:

To maintain production on the NCS and meet global

A rotational velocity signature of 113 kt and a deep tornado debris signature indicates this is likely an EF 3+ tornado in progress across northeast Arkansas. 100+ kt rotational velocity signatures are historically in the upper echelons of intense tornadoes.

Is it hurricane season already? It's January 26 and the ocean heat content in the Caribbean Sea is presently as high as it normally would be on June 1. 🧐🌊 Granted, the climatological annual minimum is still 6 weeks away so it *should* fall a bit more.

An insidious effect of decades of climate science denialism is that it seeped false info and doubt into the public consciousness. Observed warming is ~100% due to human activity, yet media coverage, poll questions, etc. talk about humans "mostly" causing" or "contributing to" climate change.

Global temperatures have remained persistently high over the past few months despite fading El Nino conditions in the tropical Pacific. We saw records tied or set in May, June, July, and August. Its only in September 2024 that we are likely to move out of record territory:

Despite today's grim milestone with the world passing 1.5C over the past 12 months, I see some reasons for cautious climate hope. We stand both on the brink of severe climate impacts, but also on the brink of a rapid energy transition away from fossil fuels.
