"A huge section of Greenland’s Petermann Glacier has snapped off, forming an ice island about the size of Manhattan. Satellites watched cracks spread rapidly before the 76-square-kilometer slab finally broke free on August 4. It is the glacier’s biggest calving event since 2012, and scientists say two even larger pieces could eventually follow. The rare Arctic iceberg will now be tracked as it drifts, breaks apart, and potentially affects shipping routes."

Adam Garbo, a PhD student from the University of Ottawa, said, "Petermann Glacier has long been one of Greenland's largest remaining ice tongues. We've anticipated this break for years, and seeing it finally happen is remarkable. It's a powerful reminder of how quickly these systems can change."

Met Office: #2026 will bring heat more than 1.4C above preindustrial levels
#UKMet projects 2026 will see global temperatures rise between 1.34C and 1.58C above preindustrial levels, placing it among the four hottest years since records began in 1850 and continuing a streak of extreme warming that has pushed the planet into unprecedented territory. The central forecast is slightly cooler than the 1.55C recorded in 2024, the warmest year on record.

Coming up on 10/02 in Berkeley!

Catch CHASING CHIMERAS, a new documentary exposing the fossil fuel industry's push for false climate "solutions" while endangering communities & delaying real climate action.

Join us to learn how deep these greenwashing scams run, including right here in the Bay Area, and what we can do fight back.

Nation's First Space Weather Simulation Exercise Examines U.S. Preparedness

"Designed specifically to simulate and review the government’s preparedness for a severe space weather event, the exercise tested interagency coordination, response protocols and communications across a wide range of industry and critical infrastructure sectors"

Has Trump changed retirement plans for the country’s largest #coal #powerplants?
A growth in #electricity demand is leading to talk of delayed closures.
A few extra years of a coal plant is more stopgap than a long-term solution. When it comes to building new plants developers are talking about #naturalgas, #solar, #nuclear, but have yet to see a substantial discussion of building new coal.

#Emissions hit a record high in 2023. Blame #hydropower.
#Droughts led to a drop in generation from #hydroelectric plants, and #fossilfuel filled the gap.
Last year, #weather conditions caused hydropower to fall short in a major way dropping a record amount. Decrease was significant enough to have a measurable effect on global emission rose by about 1.1% in 2023, and a shortfall of hydroelectric accounts for 40% of rise, according to #IEA

The #Atlantic #Ocean is unusually warm right now. Here’s why scientists say that’s “deeply troubling,” and why it should really scare you. Right now, the #NorthAtlantic ocean is, on average, warmer than any other time on record, running about 2 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the average temperature over the last three decades. 2024 is far above the norms, indicating this extreme, anomalous increase has continued into this year.

#Indonesia is clearing vast #peatland to grow #food. #Climate costs are dire.
"Indonesia has been clearing tens of thousands of acres of densely vegetated peatland for #farming, releasing massive amounts of #carbon that had been sequestered below for centuries," reports the Washington Post, "and destroying one of the Earth's most effective means of storing greenhouse gases."

Month after month, global #temperatures didn’t just break records, they smashed them. This year could be even warmer.

#Saudi-led fight against #COP28 deal shows ‘panic,’ German #climate envoy says
#OPEC #oil cartel and #SaudiArabia are leading a push against any climate deal that would cut #fossilfuel production
It was up to the #UAE presidency of COP28 to find consensus. Hope was for pledge to "phase out" #fossilfuels, with various caveats. But several people close to the talks said that Saudi Arabia and the Arab group of negotiators resisted such language

Faster West #Antarctic #IceSheet Melting Unavoidable
West Antarctic ice sheet faces ‘unavoidable’ melting, a warning for #sealevelrise
Researchers warned that humans had "lost control" of the fate of thinning ice shelves -- frozen ridges floating on the fringes of the main #ice sheet that play a stabilising role by holding back the flow of #glaciers into the #ocean.

#GulfStream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests
The shutting down of the vital #ocean currents, called #Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC), would bring catastrophic #climate impacts. #AMOC already known to be at weakest in 1600yr owing to #globalwarming and researchers spotted warning signs of a tipping point in 2021. New analysis estimates timescale for collapse between 2025-2095, with a central estimate of 2050!
