heating create the perfect climate storm?</b><br>
Rising temperatures in north Atlantic and drop in Antarctic sea
ice prompt fears of widespread damage from extreme weather<br>
Jonathan Watts, Julian Amani, Paul Scruton and Lucy Swan<br>
Mon 3 Jul 2023 <br>
</font><font face="Calibri">“Very unusual”, “worrying”,
“terrifying”, and “bonkers”; the reactions of veteran scientists
to the sharp increase in north Atlantic surface temperatures over
the past three months raises the question of whether the world’s
climate has entered a more erratic and dangerous phase with the
onset of an El Niño event on top of human-made global heating.<br>
<br>
Since April, the warming appears to have entered a new trajectory.
Meanwhile the area of global sea ice has dropped by more than 1
million sq km below the previous low.<br>
<br>
“If a few decades ago, some people might have thought climate
change was a relatively slow-moving phenomenon, we are now
witnessing our climate changing at a terrifying rate,” said Prof
Peter Stott, who leads the UK Met Office’s climate monitoring and
attribution team. “As the El Niño builds through the rest of this
year, adding an extra oomph to the damaging effects of
human-induced global heating, many millions of people across the
planet and many diverse ecosystems are going to face extraordinary
challenges and unfortunately suffer great damage.”...<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">- -<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">Many things are still uncertain.
Scientists will not know for a couple of months how severe El Niño
will be. Its wind-sheering effect could inhibit storm formation
and help to balance out the pressure of the sea-level temperature.
The north Atlantic heat spike is already showing signs that it may
fade.<br>
<br>
But there is no doubt among scientists that things will continue
to get worse as long as greenhouse gases continue to rise and
natural climate stabilisers, such as the Amazon, continue to be
cut down.<br>
<br>
Hayhoe said the trends made her feel “even more concerned and even
more motivated to ensure I’m doing everything I can to help people
understand the profound risks climate change poses to them and how
each of us can be a powerful advocate for climate action”.<br>
<br>
“It makes me feel sad and anxious,” said Stott. “Sad for the level
of environmental destruction going on around the world, including
the continuing destruction of the Amazon rainforest. And anxious
for how people are going to cope if this carries on much longer,
not just in far-away places that are already very hot and dry, but
here in the UK where fires, flash floods and droughts are getting
more and more frequent and intense. It isn’t a secure and
sustaining future to look forward to. I still hope a turning point
can be reached such that greenhouse gas emissions do start to
reduce rapidly. And I know that this can be done without
devastating our quality of life, quite the opposite in fact.”<br>

from this landmark paper, and what it says about our choices today
that will decide our future path. </font><br>

A Safe Planet</b><br>
We Don't Have Time<br>
Premiered Jun 9, 2023<br>
Future Earth and the Earth Commission - a part of the Global
Commons Alliance - invite you to join ‘Earth systems boundaries
for a just world on a safe planet’, live on We Don't Have Time on
June 9.<br>
<br>
The Earth Commission has defined a new set of boundaries that will
inform science-based-targets for governments, cities and
businesses to work toward, in order to secure a safe and just
future in which humans and nature can thrive. By centering justice
at its heart, this new science represents a quantum leap in our
ability to understand Earth’s capacity to sustain life, and the
role we humans play as guardians of our only home and each other.
<br>
<br>
Join us, live on We Don't Have Time as we engage with this new
scientific framework.<br>

<b>Safe and just Earth system boundaries</b><br>
Published: 31 May 2023
<blockquote>Abstract<br>
The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human
well-being are inseparably linked, yet their interdependencies are
generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated
independently. Here, we use modelling and literature assessment to
quantify safe and just Earth system boundaries (ESBs) for climate,
the biosphere, water and nutrient cycles, and aerosols at global
and subglobal scales. We propose ESBs for maintaining the
resilience and stability of the Earth system (safe ESBs) and
minimizing exposure to significant harm to humans from Earth
system change (a necessary but not sufficient condition for
justice). The stricter of the safe or just boundaries sets the
integrated safe and just ESB. Our findings show that justice
considerations constrain the integrated ESBs more than safety
considerations for climate and atmospheric aerosol loading. Seven
of eight globally quantified safe and just ESBs and at least two
regional safe and just ESBs in over half of global land area are
already exceeded. We propose that our assessment provides a
quantitative foundation for safeguarding the global commons for
all people now and into the future.<br>
