🆕 The planet’s frozen landscapes, known as the #cryosphere, are declining, putting the conditions for human societies at risk. A study published in @ScienceMagazine finds that climate change has pushed it beyond its safe operating space.

“One message we have for the #COP31 is that our only chance to minimize overshoot and avoid a disastrous, unmanageable outcome, is to start reducing global emissions by 6% per year from this year onwards,” says PIK's @jrockstrom on CNN’s Amanpour: edition.cnn.com/2026/11/10/t…

In 2024, Earth’s average surface temperature surpassed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. “The warming is accelerating, which is a really worrying sign,” says PIK Director @jrockstrom. What does this mean for the stability of our planet?youtube.com/watch?v=Rphpxvl_…

Even if every country delivers its climate pledges, the world is on track for around 2.6°C of warming by 2100, says the new UN Emissions Gap Report.
PIK’s @jrockstrom warns the damage could be greater still: if the US steps back, others may follow. economictimes.indiatimes.com…

Countries are way way behind on their nature targets
Here in the UK, the devastating Planning and Infrastructure Act will see the mass destruction of nature just when it most needs restoring

“We are now in a supercharged El Niño,” explains PIK Director Johan Rockström, stating that even more extreme events could lie ahead in the coming months. This can already be felt in extreme events in tropical regions. youtube.com/watch?v=j_lNH2df…

While people whinge about the tiny amount of rewilding that’s happening, Britain’s birds have dropped to the lowest levels recorded yet. Nature is blinking out all around us. theguardian.com/environment/…

🌍 “This is no longer a warning for the future; it is a diagnosis of the present.” Our 2026 State of the Climate report finds 7 of 16 planetary vital signs at record extremes. The planetary emergency is already here.

You want a safe future for humanity on Earth? Base all actions on science. IPCC provides us the basis for a manageable climate future for people today and tomorrow, across the entire world. Do not undermine it.

It's telling that the world's worst climate vandals are pushing for the IPCC's report to be delayed.
Every fraction of a degree saves lives.
Postponing the report would be devastating.

We just published the 2026 State of the Climate Report. Of 16 planetary vital signs spanning greenhouse gas concentrations, temperatures, the oceans, ice, energy balance, and wildfire, 7 (44%) are currently at record extremes. Read report here: doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biag1…

The truth is we don’t remotely care as a country… this stuff isn’t even taken seriously by senior politicians
The funding Rachel Reeves cut for farmers?
That was largely for nature restoration
Instead they pretended it was farm subsidies
Bad mouthed us
And took loads away
‘Shocking and sobering’: UK bird populations fall to lowest level on record
Nearly half of species are in decline, with farmland birds and seabirds the worst hit, conservation bodies say 🐦
