A little more than 700m years ago, the Earth was a giant ice-ball. What thawed it? CO2 building up over millions of years
Even the deepest freeze was ended by carbon — the lever we're now yanking

@profbillmcguire.bsky.socialCheck-out the ARkStorm scenario
@profbillmcguire.bsky.socialIt would if it was high enough, but concentrations are currently far too low

We're in uncharted territory
The air you are breathing today is different in composition to any breathed by humans before. This is because CO2 levels are higher than at any time in the last 14 Million years, and still climbing

@profbillmcguire.bsky.socialThe state of California will be one of the ground zeros of Hyper El Nino driven extreme weather
Prospects are looking grim for the rest of the year and 2027
@profbillmcguire.bsky.socialNO. It isn't doctored. It is a demo and someone is wearing a mask of his face
@profbillmcguire.bsky.socialOur glorious leader - the Reform Party head of Derbyshire County Council - doesn't believe in gravity or evolution either
But he does believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden

3 million years ago, giant camels roamed temperate High Arctic forests, where there is now frozen tundra. The past reveals exactly how different a warmer world looks. No speculation needed. it's written in the rocks

@profbillmcguire.bsky.social[The] "National Risk Register....estimates the risk of a drought with a moderate impact... in the next five years at just 0.2-1%. What??"
An excellent piece by @georgemonbiot.bsky.social on the complete disconnect between government advice on risks, and action
@profbillmcguire.bsky.socialDoesn't take account of continuing natural feedbacks or tipping points that have already tipped
@profbillmcguire.bsky.socialTemperatures are already set to remain elevated for millennia while sea-level will climb for at least 10,000 years
@profbillmcguire.bsky.socialI give the date. Look it up 🙂
