A small chorus of right-leaning critics are trying to convince politicians that climate action is deeply unpopular, downplaying its seriousness in the process. They accept the reality of human-made climate change, but believe the impact of it won’t be as big as people argue, and that policies involved in mitigating these impacts will be expensive and difficult. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/04/tuesday-briefing-inside-the-rights-heated-climate-denial-debate

Hungary and Romania have been forced to shut down nuclear reactors. They are increasingly relying on expensive power imports as heatwave conditions increase demand for electricity. Both countries use water from the Danube as coolant for their reactors. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/03/romania-blasts-divert-danube-water-nuclear-reactor-energy-crisis-hungary

The terrifying scenes we’ve seen so far this summer are the latest part of a pernicious long-term pattern. Across the world, the past 11 years have been the 11 hottest ever recorded – and with a super strength El Niño forming in the Pacific which could pour yet more fuel on the fire, that trend is all but certain to continue. The climate emergency is here – and no one can say they didn’t see it coming. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/08/burning-summer-climate-denial-green-policies-sadiq-khan

Let's consider activities that force the Greenhouse Effect, thus @climate@a.gup.pe change. 🧵 #Livestock digestion emits too much #methane: • People farm too many bovines in India, Pakistan, Brazil, United States, China; • People farm too many goats in India, Pakistan, China, Nigeria; • People farm too many pigs in China and the United States. #GreenHouseForcing #emissions #goats #beef #cattle #bovines #dairy #food #GHG #climateChange #FAO #EDGAR #Copernicus #CH4 #climateBreakdown #climateCollapse

Extreme heat and its consequences are the result of a fossil fuel policy that is completely irresponsible and extremely dangerous. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/07/extreme-heat-breaks-temperature-records-central-eastern-europe

What people now nervously call “the new normal” is, in truth, not normal and but a taste of things to come. These extreme weather events we are increasingly experiencing – and the warlike mood they create – represent attacks on our soil. They are a call to mobilize. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/06/wildfires-europe-world-war-two

While renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels in nearly all circumstances, fossil fuels are more profitable, because useful reserves are limited and can each be monopolised by a single corporation, while prices can suddenly take flight in times of war or chaos. Almost all the very rich are heavily invested in them. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/05/murderous-heat-climate-disaster-mediterranean-life-radical-right

It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone. The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/04/summer-heat-climate-war-zone

Heatwaves have been made more intense and more likely by the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis. The heatwave that affected western Europe at the end of June was the most severe and widespread ever. A series of huge wildfires, supercharged by the climate crisis, has torched large parts of Europe this summer. Rivers in Europe are facing extremely low flows. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/03/july-driest-month-southern-england-since-records-began

“If you destroy nature, you destroy the core on which our economies depend. And that got people’s attention. This is not some kind of a flower-power, tree-hugging exercise. This is core economics. This is core financial stability, core price stability.” Frank Elderson, a member of the European Central Bank’s executive board #ClimateBreakdown #EcosystemCollapse #Economics https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/aug/01/ecb-climate-wildfires-global-economy-stability

The climate emergency and the breakdown of nature poses a dramatically growing risk to the global economy.

The Trump administration is actively working to make the climate crisis worse, taking at least 97 actions that weaken or eliminate curbs on carbon pollution or undercut the USA’s ability to cope with the consequences. For an administration glib about the genuine risks from a changing climate, the smoke crossing our shared border is not an export. It is a receipt. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/31/i-study-the-boreal-forest-this-summer-wildfires-came-for-my-home

The US has flipped so far beyond recalcitrance during Trump’s second stint in the White House that it can only be described as waging ecological warfare. The phallic mantra of “drill, baby, drill” is guiding an administration for which the faintest speck of care for the Earth is already too woke. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/30/europe-burning-trump-war-climate-sanctions-white-house

“The climate alarm is blaring, from every direction. Around the world, climate-driven disasters are reaching nightmare proportions, as the costs of humanity’s addiction to burning coal, oil and gas keep spiraling upwards. These record-breaking wildfires tearing through France, Spain and other parts of Europe, forcing mass evacuations and hammering regional and national economies, follow brutal heatwaves that have dried out landscapes. With the mercury set to soar again this week, the awful costs of this climate crisis – both human and economic – are now reaching national emergency levels.” #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/jul/28/europe-wildfires-fires-heatwave-bordeaux-france-spain-latest-news-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-6a6886608f08de34d6d971ee#block-6a6886608f08de34d6d971ee

3 million years ago, greenhouse gas was lower (at 360ppm). Temperatures were warmer, and sea levels were 20 meters higher. Professor Gavin Foster: “The reason we don’t see #Pliocene-like temperatures and sea-levels yet today is because it takes a while for Earth’s @climate@a.gup.pe to fully equilibrate (catch up) to higher CO2 levels and, because of human emissions, CO2 levels are still climbing.” Julia Steinberger: https://www.resilience.org/stories/2020-07-15/cogs-in-the-climate-machine/ #massExtinction #climate #globalHeating #climateBreakdown

Dr. Emily Judd: "The impact of anthropogenic climate change is (and will continue to be) determined by the rate of change (meaning how quickly CO2 and temperature change) much more than the absolute temperatures, themselves." cited by @hausfath@fediscience.org there: https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/climate-skeptics-have-new-favorite 🧵 #massExtinction #massExtinctions #climate #climateChange #globalHeating #climateBreakdown #climateHeating #quotes #research #study #CO2 #emissions

"Closely spaced or overlapping El Niño events create cumulative cloud suppression. Each El Niño phase actively reduces low-level stratocumulus and trade-wind cumulus clouds over vast tropical and subtropical ocean areas as part of the Bjerknes feedback loop. When the next El Niño develops before full cloud recovery during intervening La Niña or neutral conditions, the albedo loss becomes progressively more persistent, producing the observed multi-decadal linear decline. […] Major El Niño periods (especially 2015–16 and 2023–24) coincide with accelerated albedo drops and incomplete recoveries." Ford, Gillon (2026). "The El Niño Ratchet Effect Overlapping El Niño Events as a Driver of Multi-Decadal Planetary Albedo Decline" https://www.academia.edu/167011795/The_El_Ni%C3%B1o_Ratchet_Effect_Overlapping_El_Ni%C3%B1o_Events_as_a_Driver_of_Multi_Decadal_Planetary_Albedo_Decline #ElNiño #RatchetEffect #ENSO #massExtinction #massExtinctions #climate #climateChange #globalHeating #climateBreakdown #climateHeating #research #study

Greenhouse forcing: "We find that the likelihood of the occurrence of climate regime shifts significantly increases in the context of super El Niño events due to their remarkable climate perturbations. This higher probability is detected across various climate elements, such as surface air temperature, sea surface temperature, and surface soil moisture. In addition, we suggest that this boost effect of super El Niño events on climate regime shifts will be greatly amplified under future greenhouse warming." Xue, A., Geng, X., Jin, FF. et al. (2025). "Super El Niño events drive climate regime shifts with enhanced risks under global warming" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-66143-7 #RatchetEffect #acceleration #ENSO #ElNiño #massExtinction #massExtinctions #climate #climateChange #globalHeating #globalWarming #climateBreakdown #climateHeating #research #study

We grew up watching this superhero at school in Geography.... We have watched him all our lives showing us "The World About US" ... He has dedicated his professional life to educating and inspiring US.... We were in ore of his professional programming and the wonderful things he showed US... Now at the Autumn of his long life he still shows US as it is... But now why do so many of YOU doubt him? #NoPlanetB🌍 Can we talk about it? 🚨🙈⏰️🙉📣🙊 time to wake up!⏱️ #ClimateBreakdown #DavidAttenborough💔
