When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

7/ This makes the challenge harder in a fundamental way. If the sink weakens, the same emissions produce faster concentration growth. Cuts that would once have stabilised CO₂ no longer will. We need to run faster just to stay in the same place, and the pace required is accelerating.

6/ Worse still: the land sink may be plateauing. The seasonal CO₂ drawdown in the Keeling Curve, a proxy for terrestrial sequestration, peaked around 2009 & has shown no growth since, a sign that the biosphere is struggling to keep up. Replicating Curran & Curran (2025) doi.org/10.1002/wea.7668

Single-panel chart. Scatter of annual seasonal drawdown amplitude (d) (green dots) from 1958 to 2024, ranging from about 4.5 to 7.5 ppm.

A black quadratic fit line rises to a peak around 2009 then levels off, with a shaded 95% confidence interval. A vertical red dashed line marks the fitted peak year. The curve replicates the finding of Curran & Curran (2025).

5/ In the 1960s, natural sinks absorbed ~two thirds of our emissions. Today they absorb barely half. The sink is growing, but not keeping pace. So more of every tonne of fossil fuel burned now stays in the atmosphere, and that share is still rising.

$Two-panel chart. Top: total emissions (black trend line) and total sink (blue trend line) 1959–2024, with the widening orange gap between them representing CO₂ remaining in the atmosphere. The emission slope (+0.418) is roughly twice the sink slope (+0.230). Bottom: scatter of annual airborne fraction with a dashed upward linear trend and 95% confidence interval, with decade averages annotated: 0.35 (1960s), rising to 0.51 (2020s).$

4/ Atmospheric CO₂ isn't just rising, it's accelerating. The growth rate has more than doubled since 1960: 0.27%/yr → 0.64%/yr. Whilst fossil fuel emissions are linear. Concentration is super-exponential. So why the acceleration?

Two-panel chart. Top: Mauna Loa monthly CO₂ 1958–2024 as a light blue sawtooth (raw) and dark blue smooth line (seasonally adjusted), with a dashed red super-exponential fit curving upward, the data visibly accelerates away from any straight line.

Bottom: residuals from the super-exponential fit, showing no systematic drift, the fit captures the acceleration well, with residuals scattered close to zero throughout the record.

1/ Why is atmospheric CO₂ accelerating faster than fossil fuel emissions are growing? The answer is buried in the data, and it's more worrying than most people realise. A thread. 🧵👇

Line chart showing atmospheric CO₂ concentration at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1958 to 2024. A light blue sawtooth line shows raw monthly values, reflecting the seasonal cycle of plant growth. A dark blue smooth line shows the seasonally adjusted record, rising from 315 ppm in 1958 to over 426 ppm in 2024.

A dashed red curve shows the super-exponential fit, with the instantaneous growth rate rising from 0.27%/yr in 1960 to 0.64%/yr in 2024, more than doubling over the period of the record.

The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party. It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence. We don't oppose the Genocide in spite of being Jewish but because of it. Never again for everyone.

The report said the increase in green party support suggested for a significant minority of Jews, domestic priorities and progressive values outweigh foreign policy concerns.
