Eric Maugendre about carbonApr 1

"If you put a kilogram of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it has a warming effect that lasts millennia. You put a kilogram of methane in the atmosphere, the warming effect will disappear almost entirely after 20 years. So the amount of warming you get depends on the emission rate of methane", said Raymond Pierrehumbert: https://thebulletin.org/2023/12/mass-delusion-and-wishful-thinking-why-everything-you-think-you-know-about-methane-is-probably-wrong/

'Mass delusion and wishful thinking': Why everything you think you know about methane is probably wrong

What’s really damaging is fooling yourself into thinking that eliminating methane has as big an impact as eliminating carbon dioxide.

Dire future of superb fairy-wren could mean catastrophe for other species

The researchers said the superb fairy-wren would likely go extinct within 30-40 years unless action was taken to stop greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change.

State of the Global Climate 2025

The World Meteorological Organization "State of Climate report confirms

2015-2025 hottest 11 years on record

Earth’s energy imbalance is highest in sixty five-year record.

The ocean has been absorbing about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades.

Extreme weather impacts millions and costs billions."

State of the Global Climate 2025

WMO’s State of the Global Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense heat, heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies.The ocean continues to warm and absorb carbon dioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades. Annual sea ice extent in the Arctic was at or near a record low, Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated, according to the report.For the first time, the report includes the Earth’s energy imbalance as one of the key climate indicators.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/mar/11/reaching-net-zero-by-2050-cheaper-for-uk-than-one-fossil-fuel-crisis. 2050 is too late, & is just kicking the #fossilfuel can down the road, when we ALL need to stop extracting & burning them a lot sooner, & will pay a very high price for not doing so. We cannot depend on #carbon sinks that won't BE carbon sinks, but carbon #sources, by 2050. We don't need #netzero, but REAL #zero - &, more than that, not just zero annual #GHG #emissions, but NEGATIVE ones.
Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’
