Every once a while, a momentous environmental law comes into force. That's the case of the EU Deforestation Regulation
This is the most consequential anti-deforestation law in history

Non-compliance is very costly
Fines for companies caught importing, trading or selling banned products will total up to at least 4% of annual EU revenues. Using Nestlé as an example, this could mean a fine of about $800m

Anomalies in #Antarctic sea ice concentration show the monthly variation from the long-term mean. This map from nilas.org shows more ➖ than ➕ anomalies for June. See the lack of sea ice in Bellingshausen Sea (arrowed), almost at summer ice levels in mid-winter! 
This map from @NSIDC and @NASAEarth shows sea ice concentration on 17 June. The orange line is the typical extent for that day based on the average from 1981 to 2010. Some coastal regions are now ice-free where that has not been observed before.
The last decade has seen increased variability. Sea-ice area reached a record low in Feb 2023 following the previous record low in Feb 2022, and an extremely low summer avg in 2016/17. Is this shift in Antarctic sea ice a response to climate change? We need to find out @IPCC_CH.
Based on current temperatures in the #Arctic & sea surface temps elsewhere, there is a chance of a blue ocean event occurring within the next 5 years. If this happens, it will signify a shift into a totally new #climate paradigm, one that pushes civilization to the brink. #NASA
If you thought the heating of the oceans was accelerated by a lack of Sahara dust or shipping exhaust particles....you ain't seen nothing yet.
For those 🤡 🤡 that think this is fake etc - the data is acquired by the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) instrument aboard the Global Change Observation Mission 1st-Water "SHIZUKU" (GCOM-W1) satellite.

Science is crystal clear, the only way to meaningfully reduce emissions is a rapid, equitable, full & funded phase-out of ALL fossil fuels. In this essential #JustTransition, there's is NO space for dangerous distractions such as #CCS or #CarbonRemoval.

1/30. Today is the seventh day of the #BonnClimateConference (#SB58) and it saw an intense second plenary on the adoption of the agenda, discussions on the #SantiagoNetwork and the start of the New Collective Quantified Goal’s 6th Technical Expert Dialogue on #ClimateFinance.🧵
2/30. This morning kicked of with the event “Linking #LossAndDamage to Conflict Affected and Fragile Settings” held alongside the #BonnClimateConference (#SB58) with @FriEnt_news, @IDOS_research and @BROT_furdiewelt. Key messages included:
3/30. Steffen Bauer of @IDOS_research: “#LossAndDamage has become a reality even only at 1.1°C degree of heating. It puts lives and livelihoods at risk today…Every increment of warming that we can avoid makes a difference.”

A disparate cluster of interests -some venal, some ideological, some quasi-religious- have found common expression in the issue of #Climate™️. Too much, intellectually, financially, emotionally, politically has been sunk into it to allow for honest discussion.

Even minor scepticism or attempts at technical or economic discussion start by begging the question of whether ANY of this game is worth the candle; all include the Insh’allah of “...while climate change is accelerated and we must (!) address the problem at once...”

If we start from the false premise that the threat is both pressing and existential, then obviously we narrow the choice to a menu of ‘solutions’ which involve vast expenditure, radical social upheaval, and severe limitations on personal liberty.

When a giant company wrecks your life, what are you gonna do? They can hire more and better lawyers, and they have people whose sole job is fighting off suits - are you gonna beat those people by suing as as a side-hustle? Do you wanna be a full-time, professional litigant?

For some people, the answer is yes: some people are angry enough, or sufficiently morally offended, to make suing a giant company their life's mission. Sometimes, they succeed, and force companies to cough up gigantic sums of money.

🧵UPDATE on MONTANA CLIMATE CASE - NEW LAST MINUTE FILING
Yesterday, @MTAGKnudsen & assistants filed a "writ of supervisory control" - last-minute plea to the MT Supreme Court to stop the case from proceeding in district court (this is their 8th attempt to stop the case)

My Sidenote: This is same AG who inserted himself to dismiss charges against a guy who pulled a gun on people in Helena restaurant - same AG who played doctor by pressuring health care professionals who refused to prescribe ivermectin to covid patients (the list keeps going...)
@MTAGKnudsen argues because people are paying attention - it should be dismissed because there "are no relevant facts to find" (again- this is from the same guy who happily played doctor in favor of ivermectin)
Currently, about half the world's population relies on synthetic fertilizers produced from fossil fuels. Before you go blocking traffic and glueing yourself to something you better have a solution to ensure that these people won't starve in your plan to save the planet. #climate
The Haber-Bosch process is a chemical process that converts nitrogen gas (N₂) from the air and hydrogen gas (H₂) from natural gas or other hydrocarbon sources into ammonia (NH₃). It was developed in the early 20th century and is one of the most important industrial processes.

Spain's farms are dying. Their pastures are disappearing. Their livestock is becoming too expensive to even feed. Their ministers resort to calling for the EU crisis mechanism to be triggered. The #Climate crisis is now an EU farming and food supply crisis.
Spain and Portugal have requested the activation of the European Food Security Crisis Preparedness and Response Mechanism (EFSCM), which could provide up to 450 million euros. However, other EU nations have been hesitant to initiate the mechanism, it requires unanimous agreement.

Wood burning can cause cancer, esp lung cancer, respiratory disease, heart disease, dementia, premature death, & other health issues which are devastating. Wood burning emits more CO2 than gas. Inaction and silence on this affects everyone.
No laws to stop residential burning (fireplaces, fire pits, backyard burning, planned burns), & no public campaign on the dangers of residential burning means anyone can burn and emit smoke into your home. No action now, leaves you, the next generation, & environment unprotected
The #G7HiroshimaSummit seems to be unusually productive, with the leaders agreeing on a very large list of actions. Among them, combined with new bilateral US/Australia pacts, are possibly profound energy & #climate resolutions.
