Methane emissions cause 25% of global heating today,
and there has been a “scary” surge since 2007
UCLA Scientists have warned that this acceleration seriously risks triggering catastrophic climate tipping points.
However, cutting methane emissions has a rapid impact,
because the gas is naturally removed from the atmosphere far quicker than carbon dioxide.
Some experts call cutting methane the climate “emergency brake”.
“It is really maddening,” said Cara …

Yet one more adverse impact of climate change:
"Greater warmth enables pests to develop faster, produce more generations each year and attack crops for longer as winters shorten. Rising temperatures are also helping pests invade places further from the equator and on higher ground that were previously too cold"
In hindsight, not surprising - but this is the first time I have seen this impact publicly discussed.

The world is closer than thought to a
“point of no return”
after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped, scientists have said.
Continued global heating could trigger climate tipping points,
leading to a cascade of further tipping points and feedback loops, they said.
This would lock the world into a new and hellish “hothouse Earth” climate
far worse than the 2-3C temperature rise the world is on track to reach.
The climate would also be ver…

If humans keep heating the planet with greenhouse gases, the climate swing could lock Earth into a hothouse trajectory, as parts of the system feed on their own momentum, even if emissions are reduced later.

Accelerated Global Warming Could Lock Earth Into a Hothouse Future - Inside Climate News
Scientists say warming is increasing faster than at any time in at least 3 million years. There is no guide for what comes next.

Global study reveals widespread burning of plastic for heating and cooking
A new Curtin University-led study has shed new light on the widespread number of households in developing countries burning plastic as an everyday energy source, uncovering serious international health, social equality and environmental concerns.

US plans to exploit Venezuela’s oil reserves could by 2050 consume 🔥more than a tenth of the world’s remaining carbon budget to limit global heating to 1.5C, according to an exclusive analysis.
The calculation highlights how any moves to further exploit the
South American nation’s oil reserves
– the largest in the world,
at least on paper
– would put increasing pressure on climate goals,
and risk plunging the globe further into climate catastrophe.

World enters 'era of global water bankruptcy': UN scientists formally define new post-crisis reality for billions
Amid chronic groundwater depletion, water overallocation, land and soil degradation, deforestation, and pollution, all compounded by global heating, a UN report today declared the dawn of an era of global water bankruptcy, inviting world leaders to facilitate "honest, science-based adaptation to a new reality."

The Arctic is no longer a frozen periphery,
especially not after the U.S. spat with Europe over Greenland.
As sea ice melts, the High North is emerging as a strategic hub for energy, shipping and critical minerals.
It is warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet,
-- but what’s also heating up is the debate over who will control the Arctic routes, rules and resources that will shape global markets for decades.

The world’s mountains are warming faster than anyone expected
Mountain regions around the world are heating up faster than the lands below them, triggering dramatic shifts in snow, rain, and water supply that could affect over a billion people. A major global review finds that rising temperatures are turning snowfall into rain, shrinking glaciers, and making mountain weather more extreme and unpredictable. These changes threaten water sources for huge populations, including those in China and India, while also increasing risks of floods, ecosystem collaps…
