#FOTW Daily Post 11 I'm unflinching about the science — but I refuse to trade in despair. The past tells us things WILL be grim, but if we lose hope and fail to act, they will be far worse So, pls share and tag 2 That's how hope becomes momentum #FateOfTheWorld #TogetherUnstoppable #ClimateHope

#FOTW Daily Post 10 A little more than 700m years ago, the Earth was a giant ice-ball. What thawed it? CO2 building up over millions of years Even the deepest freeze was ended by carbon — the lever we're now yanking Please share + tag 2 #FateOfTheWorld #DeepTime

[The] "National Risk Register....estimates the risk of a drought with a moderate impact... in the next five years at just 0.2-1%. What??" An excellent piece by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social on the complete disconnect between government advice on risks, and action www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“techno-optimist” scientists [engaged in] less civic actions and protests, signed fewer petitions and engaged in less advocacy. .....also less likely to reduce the number of flights they took, cut car usage......." You know who you are - and should be ashamed www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Scientists who put faith in technology less likely to take climate action

‘Techno-optimism’ may lead to reliance on unproven solutions at expense of societal changes needed

No idea. But it wouldn't be a great surprise if SO2 and CO2 levels were similar

Volcanic CO2 is part of normal background natural emissions, it doesn't result in extra heating

The idea we can suck 41 billion tonnes of CO2 out of the air every year, as we keep on pumping it out, is a fantasy Let alone remove the 2.5 trillion tonnes we have already added

Prof Bill McGuire @profbillmcguire.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yes. CO2 levels in the Pliocene were comparable to quite a bit lower than today
