We're near peak CO2 emissions. Interrupted only by covid lockdowns, emissions have been creeping upwards, but more and more slowly till we're almost at a plateau. This year emissions will fall as a result of Trump's war against Iran helped by Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. 1/🧵👇

Russian and US vetoes are a big problem. Why not change the triple lock to allow UN General Assembly approval in lieu of the Security Council? That would keep the triple lock while allowing the dysfunctional Security Council to be bypassed, setting an example for others and moving towards reform.

People casually using genAI instead of their own creativity or capacity for thought genuinely feels like a huge values difference now, on a very fundamental level. We do not hold the same things to be important or worthwhile.

Amazing how progressive people start talking and sounding *exactly* like MAGA as soon as you confront them with the moral catastrophe of factory farms. Sneering, joking, wrapping themselves in misinformation or pseudoscience, reveling in their own cruelty. "I don't care and you can't make me."

Also, renewables and EVs will NOT stop the rapid increase in heatwaves, droughts, wildires, floods, storms, coastal erosion, etc. Only ending fossil fuel emissions will stop them from getting much worse.

Does anyone have informed perspectives on this paper? Seems important if true, important to refute if false. "Our results provide the first observational evidence that low clouds have partially offset recent warming, ... " agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

In this study, we combined satellite observations, reanalysis data sets, and a cloud-controlling factor (CCF) framework to quantify historical low-cloud cover (LCC) variability and its associated feedbacks. By harmonizing 13 long-term satellite data sets using anomalies and extending the record back to 1979 using CCF-based reconstructions, we constructed a physically grounded and temporally consistent record of LCC variability. The CCF method reproduces observed LCC anomalies well (𝑟 =0.85
for 1982–2024; 𝑟 =0.93
for 2001–2020), lending confidence to both the reconstructed record and the associated historical trends.

Across all data sets, tropical ocean LCC increased robustly since 1979 at a rate of 0.18 ±0.07%
per decade over 1979–2025, concurrent with approximately 1,K
of global surface warming (0.21 ±0.03%
per decade). When normalized by the temperature trend, this corresponds to 0.85 ±0.32%,K−1
, with stratocumulus regions accounting for nearly 90%
of the signal. Using observed 𝑑⁢𝐶⁢𝑅⁢𝐸/𝑑⁢𝐿⁢𝐶⁢𝐶
relationships, this translates into a strongly negative low-cloud feedback of −0.79 ±0.3,W,m−2,K−1
, in contrast to the positive feedback observationally inferred from idealized abrupt-4×CO2
experiments (0.50 W m−2 K−1
in this study and 0.42 −0.56 W m−2 K−1
in Cesana and Del Genio (2021); Myers et al. (2021)).
