The manipulation of facts threatens democracy. Especially in crises and election years. Here is a scientific correction of 5 inaccuracies spread by politicians. Get the @naturvardsverk to produce a brochure "how do we handle the climate crisis" corresponding to MCF's "if the crisis or war comes." (translated)

We are pushing beyond our planet's safe operating space. But science also gives us solutions. If your research helps keep us within Planetary Boundaries, apply for the 5th edition of the @FrontiersIn Planet Prize. It's the final stretch for applying. https://t.co/8xqS6uozvV https://t.co/1WgEtO2Lsp #PlanetaryBoundaries #Sustainability #ResearchForChange #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

The extreme heat, fire, droughts displacing > 200000 and killing > 20000 in Europe, happens on a 1.4°C planet. We are inevitably breaching 1.5°C and heading towards 3°C. It will be get worse before it potentially gets better (if we urgently change course) https://t.co/poAjXFfHQt #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ExtremeWeather #EU

If you missed it. The most important summer of the summer. How truth is manipulated, democracy is threatened, independent journalism is dismantled, and how all of this closes the door to a positive future that is still out there… (translated)

And this happens at 1.4°C. Europe warms > 2X faster than planet as a whole, & heat & drought extremes are amplified by interactions with ocean heat, Jet stream slow-down & atmosphere blocking. Future? It will get worse before it potentially gets better. https://t.co/ozrHbpjJO5 #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #ExtremeWeather #EU

The AMOC collapse can no longer be classified as low risk. We have so far underestimated the likelihood of slowing down and must now revise the risk situation, which is at the level of a national security risk that must be taken very seriously. (translated)

Nature positive is about more than protecting nature. It's about safeguarding the Earth systems that support our economies, societies, wellbeing. This film brings together voices from science, business, finance to explore what it will take to achieve it. https://t.co/4wHziOhkHF #NaturePositive #Sustainability #EarthSystems #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedinthetweet.

This is so telling. So scary. So concerning. The predictions for 2050, made in 2014, on extreme heat in France, are vastly exceeded, already in 2026. Why? We have underestimated the rate of change. Warming is accelerating. Ocean heat is off the charts. Is Earth losing Resilience? #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #FR

41°C in Paris. Red alert in UK. London melting away during London Climate Week. Life threatening human amplified heat. Remember though. This is just the beginning. It will get worse, before potentially getting better. To return fr overshoot, global emissions must decline >5%/yr. https://t.co/IdDkknyeFS #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave #GlobalWarming #FR #GB

UN SG Antonio Guterres gives a science aligned speech at #LCAW2026 warning humanity with the message science is continuously trying to convey - warming is accelerating, tipping points are coming closer, Earth is losing resilience. We must act accordingly. https://t.co/Vs4HD6Ieli #ClimateAction #GlobalWarming #ClimateCrisis #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

China’s Long March to Technological Supremacy by Johan Rockström, et al @ProSyn https://t.co/3r40lTDWch #China #Technology #Innovation #CN

New study adds evidence that the "Cold Blob" in the North Atlantic is proof of AMOC slow-down. And it can only be explained by changes in ocean heat transport (impacted by us). Continued slowdown, even shut-down cannot be excluded. An unacceptable risk. https://t.co/WsMTV61SoV #ClimateChange #AMOC #OceanHeat #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

At a time of growing geopolitical fragmentation, it is increasingly difficult to imagine the UN forging the same broad consensus around a new global development framework that it did with the SDGs, which end in 2030. I'm thinking about what comes next. https://t.co/qrc361iz6P #GlobalDevelopment #UN #SDGs #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.

New Anthropocene paper. Earth still operates in "Holocene logic", buffering heat imbalance. Anthropocene = Pressure. But, BAU, reaching 3°C in 2100 & we get "stuck" in a Hothouse trajectory for 1000 years. Anthropocene risks turning into a state. No Good. https://t.co/8gLxC9w7aX https://t.co/2lWrTp72Jt #Anthropocene #ClimateChange #HothouseEarth #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.

World Cup will have hydration breaks each 15 min to reduce dangerous heat risk. Remember, this is not a FIFA rule softening the efforts of the players. It is because we are heating the planet to new unprecedented levels. We are breaking game. https://t.co/53VhUVmoY0 #WorldCup #ClimateChange #PlayerSafety #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

China’s rise in AI, clean energy and advanced technologies is no sudden leap, but the result of decades of strategic investment in science, infrastructure and industrial capacity. New commentary with Inga Strümke in @ProSyn: https://t.co/t9nD0lXkPn #China #AI #CleanEnergy #CN

Johan Rockström: Trenutno stanje planeta, gdje prelazimo višestruke planetarne granice, što se očituje kao prijetnja javnom zdravlju koja utječe na milijune ljudi diljem svijeta, pruža obilje znanstvenih dokaza da bi klimatske promjene trebale biti proglašene izvanrednom situacijom za javno zdravlje od međunarodnog značaja.
