Here are a few things that I think the ("western") public has *not* yet accepted:
Feel free to add to the list
1) Air travel will have to be electrified ASAP, or largely go away
2) Sea travel will have to be decarbonised ASAP, or largely go away
3) Coastal areas are bad places to live

🌎 Super El Niño 2026: global models increasingly point to a potentially very strong El Niño developing during H2 2026.
For Europe, the most relevant impacts may be indirect rather than meteorological: LNG market volatility, hydro generation variability, commodity price shocks and supply chain disruptions.
At Weathernews, we are closely monitoring the evolution of this climate signal and its implications for the energy sector.
The objective of this latest research paper on #JCRR is to understand the impact on insured losses of changes in the frequency-severity distribution of landfalling #hurricanes.
For the research, authors Ruth Petrie, Dongwon Han, Ludovico Nicotina, Adam Alvarez, and Tyler Cox, Inigo, present a frequency-aware quantile mapping (FAQM) approach for adjusting #hurricane wind speeds and losses in catastrophe models: https://journalofcrr.com/research/04-02-petrie-et-al/
A new mathematical model traced 12,000 years of human population growth and identifies what could break the curve.
The "halve by 2064" scenario is explicitly NOT a prediction. It's a worst-case illustration of what happens if carrying-capacity constraints activate abruptly.
The three listed triggers: global war, pandemic, and rapid climate change.
The climate risk community has a name for this: cascading systemic failure.

E se il vero obiettivo non fosse convincerti di una bugia, ma farti dubitare della verità?
Interessante riflessione dopo aver letto un articolo di Francesca Santolini su La Stampa dedicato alla disinformazione climatica.
Da anni lavoro tra meteorologia, energia e climate risk e sono sempre più convinto che il clima non sia soltanto una questione ambientale, ma anche una questione di resilienza, sicurezza e fiducia.
