@jxwojtowicz Unfortunately, continuing to rail, while also failing, to make sustainable changes to Conflict of Interest ethics in writing policy for the most influential, powerful people in the US, is part of the problem: an overextended #duopoly that lends itself, more and more, to #DivideAndConquer Strategy that increasingly polarizes and destabilizes the public, while the vacuum is filled by #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchs usurping more and more of vital, #RootInfrastructure.
The US may be past too many #TIppingPoints to make the necessary changes. Even a third party #DemSoc may be too little, too late.

A robot swarm is on a mission to map #Greenland’s perilous #icesheets
The fleet of drones, subs and sensors will map ice melt to forecast #climate #tippingpoints
Data from expedition funded by #UK’s secretive new inventions agency, will feed into climate models. Idea is to forecast when #ice melt will tip climate-regulating ocean currents into shutdown, and try to develop early warning system that would let humanity know when #glaciers are changing

@jlepawsky With too many critical #TippingPoints being surpassed, #CarbonCapture becomes more and more post de facto, than it's increasingly necessary opposite: #prescient #CRISIS.
And while too much of a major educational upgrade is necessary, in too short of a time frame to match equitable #ClimateCrisis solves; the deepest roots have to be addressed first. #FossilFuels and #TechBros need to be replaced, asap.

*This is a toot about TOoT*
I reviewed 'Tipping Out of Trouble' (for @Nature), a new book by Marten Scheffer on what we can learn from past societal transformations to ensure a good rather than dystopian Anthropocene.

Since this industrial tipping point, human activity has injected roughly 2.5 trillion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, continuing at a current rate of approximately 40 billion tons annually. To visualize this volume of gas, this rate represents pushing the mass equivalent of 800,000 Titanics into the sky every single year, marking a staggering physical mass transfer from the earth to the air. -

Our history provides a terrifyingly accurate mirror for this exact scenario: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) 56 million years ago. During this ancient spike, a massive injection of carbon triggered rapid global warming, severe ocean acidification, and altered ocean circulation. The PETM shows us exactly what happens to the planet's equilibrium when climate systems are pushed past their tipping points. -

@Soulshine If kids don't have the root essential tools to branch from, they'll be more and more victimized by abusive power - hence making Behavioral Science Core Education - preferably in a sustainable nation, like some of the #GlobalSouth that are piggybacking off of the #BeltAndRoadInitiative.
More and more of #WesternCapitalism countries are beyond critical #TippingPoints, so #EmergingEconomies in #DevelopingCountries are now the long-term target. If you have kids, I suggest investing in the Global South, sooner.

"Arctic Ocean food chain is disrupted as a key tipping point has now been passed"
https://phys.org/news/2026-05-arctic-ocean-food-chain-disrupted.html"The changes we report suggest that the Arctic Ocean ecosystem passed a tipping point around 2009. How this change cascades through the food chain needs to be closely monitored as this has profound implications for us, including on commercial fishing in the North Atlantic Ocean." #ClimateCrisis #TippingPoints

New over at climatetippingpoints.info: 'News Explainer: Is the AMOC closer to collapse than thought?'
The first of a new occassional 'News Explainer' series, briefly summarising recent news on climate tipping points (and checking how well the media reported it).
First up, a paper by Portmann et al. constraining future AMOC decline, but does it show that collapse is more likely than thought?

The five short films of Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops educate viewers on key feedback loops greatly accelerating climate change.
Our free lessons for this series cover the important ecological roles of forests, permafrost, atmosphere. albedo, and regreening. The regreening lesson is solutions-focused and full of hope!
These lessons are designed for gr 9-12 and adult/higher ed. The lessons & films are all free.

@novafuture You might benefit from studying #TippingPoints and #ClimateCrisis roots~effects. Dr James Hansen, a leading climatologist, factors in #MilankovitchCycles for his equations, while more obvious geopolitical swings toward authoritarian autocracies around the globe, lend themselves to #EmergingEconomies like safer climate zones, as the prerogative now.
Good luck to you and yours.
