Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣 Just Now

The author wrote that climate protection is vital for survival and can only be successful if it is designed to be socially just. At the same time, he referred to a proposal that, according to his presentation, should enable this at lower costs than previous measures. (translated)

The author said marine scientists had warned about the issue for a long time and asked whether warnings about other tipping points would also be largely ignored. They urged the world to prioritise stopping global warming, adding that it was possible but time was running out.

The author wrote that the European Union was also a key player in advancing climate protection, and claimed that global warming was accelerating towards a level that would threaten human civilisation as we know it. They said there was an urgent need to move beyond fossil fuels. #Klima #Umweltschutz #Energie #EU

The author asked which tipping points in the climate system are particularly important and how they could change the future. He referred to the linked article as a brief overview. (translated)

3410

The author referred to an analysis of how climate change has so far affected average temperatures, hot and cold days, precipitation, drought, and sunshine in Berlin and Potsdam. https://t.co/04VIXRZ4KP #Klimawandel #Klima #Berlin #DE (translated)

The author said a recent report presented the facts behind the Digger story and examined what they described as a fossil fuel industry campaign to cast doubt on human-caused global warming. They recommended watching the film and reading the report.

2963

The author criticized that the weakening of already decided climate protection measures is being celebrated. He referred to the hottest summer since records began, which has been attributed to 16,000 deaths in Germany, as well as record low water levels in Lake Constance and the Rhine, devastating fires, and overheated seas. He also wrote that the children will remember this. #Klimaschutz #Klimawandel #Umweltschutz #DE (translated)

The author praised Critical Latitude’s video explainer on the weakening Atlantic Ocean overturning circulation and the risk that it could pass a tipping point.

3446

The author wrote that after a summer with 16,000 additional heat-related deaths in Germany, fossil flying should become cheaper. He described this reaction as completely irresponsible. https://t.co/A33DodESCD #Klimawandel #Umweltschutz #Gesundheit #DE (translated)

The author wrote that a new study had examined 20,736 scientific publications on climate tipping points and estimated that several could be crossed at around 1.5 degrees of warming. They named permafrost thaw, the Greenland Ice Sheet and the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre, saying this could happen “any time soon.”

3914

The author wrote that climate scientists had warned of extreme rainfall events this autumn because of unusually warm Mediterranean waters. #Climat #RughiMeteorologici #Risglobali #IT #GR #MT #ES #FR #PT

The author of the article wrote that global warming is accelerating. According to the RKI, last summer's heatwave caused 16,000 deaths in Germany and, according to the DIW, costs of 40 billion euros. Moreover, he accused Minister Reiche of hindering what he considered necessary and successful expansion of renewable energies, calling it irresponsible. https://t.co/6ELjaEbnan #Erderwärmung #Klimaschutz #ErneuerbareEnergien #DE (translated)

The author highlighted a Politico article about the linked tipping points of the subpolar gyre (SPG) and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), describing them as major climate risks. They wrote that the SPG could collapse within the next 20 years.

Since the turn of the millennium, the melting has accelerated rapidly. The Alps have the fastest percentage loss rates in global comparison. The loss of ice initially leads to more meltwater, but when the glaciers are gone, the water will run out in the summer. #Klima #Umweltschutz #Gletscher #AT (translated)

All the taxpayers who do not consume oil pay for the #fuel discount, because they drive electric cars or (like me) don't drive a car at all. The oil companies benefit, which have been preventing climate protection through systematic deception for decades. 😟 https://t.co/95QSnAEz63 #Klimaschutz #Tankrabatt #EAuto #DE (translated)

I can only agree: "Governments must treat the climate as they would other threats to national security, such as sabotage by hostile states." Richard Nugee, a retired general and security expert.

“Spanien hat die ruinöse Verknüpfung zwischen Strompreisen und volatilen fossilen Brennstoffen durchbrochen – etwas, das seine europäischen Nachbarn dringend anstreben“, sagt Dr Chris Rosslowe, Senior Analyst beim Energiethinktank Ember. https://t.co/GW6puhzI4Q #Spanien #Energiepolitik #Nachhaltigkeit #ES #EU

“Very strong El Niño events like those in 1997/1998 and 2015/2016 were associated with hundreds of billions of dollars in damages globally – this event is leaving those past ones in the dust.” https://t.co/2OxMebxZ0d #ElNiño #ClimateChange #GlobalImpact #Thistweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Wir werden sehr bald die 1,5-Grad-Grenze durchbrechen, auf die sich alle Staaten geeinigt haben. Aber es gibt Hoffnung: weltweit wachsen die Lösungen wie Erneuerbare, Elektromobilität und Wärmepumpen exponentiell! Es ist ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, die #Erderhitzung zu stoppen. https://t.co/WoKP0ZwaCu #Erderhitzung #Klimaschutz #ErneuerbareEnergien #N/A
