State of the Global Climate 2024

Key messages:

Key #ClimateChange indicators again reach record levels

Long-term #warming (averaged over decades) remains below 1.5°C

#SeaLevelRise and #OceanWarming #irreversible for hundreds of years

Record #GreenhouseGas concentrations combined with #ElNiño and other factors to drive 2024 record heat

Early warnings and #climate services are vital to protect communities and economies

The clear signs of human-induced climate change reached new heights in 2024, which was likely the first calendar year to be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era, with a global mean near-surface temperature of 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 average.

#Solar #energy is the
⭐️ most widely available energy resource on Earth,
and its economic attractiveness is improving fast in a cycle of #increasing #investments.

Here we use data-driven conditional technology and economic forecasting modelling to establish which zero carbon power sources could become dominant worldwide.

We find that, due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy,
a global #irreversible solar #tipping #point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to #dominate global #electricity #markets,
without any further climate policies.

🆘Uncertainties arise, however, over #grid #stability in a renewables-dominated power system,
the availability of #sufficient #finance in underdeveloped economies,
the capacity of #supply #chains and #political #resistance from regions that lose employment.

❇️Policies resolving these barriers may be more effective than price instruments to accelerate the transition to clean energy

“It’s #EPA’s job to protect people from exposure to #dangerous #chemicals. In this case, #pregnant women who may never even know they were exposed could give #birth to #babies that experience #irreversible lifelong #health problems.”

The sole manufacturer of the #pesticide, #AMVAC, had sought to avoid the #emergency action. The co had voluntarily pulled all #DCPA products used on turf, reducing the risks to golfers, athletes & workers who maintain turf.

"Chemical analysis of natural CO₂ rise over the last 50,000 years shows that today's rate is 10 times faster"

#Catastrophic

#Irreversible

The End

Only thing that stop this now is a global pandemic, meteor strike, or a global thermonuclear war that literally decimates the global population of the planet.

@harleygold celebrity #disinferotica has always been around and improving. US indifference to lead on #ai research during the 2008 - 2016 Gates’ Foundation presidency placed primacy on a botnet drone death fetish that goes over very well with #trump and #biden. These decades under corporatist & politically expedient republican & democratic fuckwit rule are #irreversible.

Is #taylorswift embarrassment more pressing than decades of remote vaping children; NOW people care about ai?
