Here is a short (13-minute) informative video titled “The Insanity of the Carbon Capture Deception.”

It’s about the lies we’re being told to justify continuing with Business As Usual, about the false promise of futuristic new technologies that will magically stop climate change and save us all.
Excellent commentary : climate change and suicidal behavior risks
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-03528-7
"we argue that the impacts of climate-related hazards on suicide risk should be understood using an ecological framework situated within a developmental life course perspective. In other words, risk and protective factors are situated within individuals, families, communities and societies that evolve across the life course"
Glacier melt intensifying Freshwater loss and accelerating Sea-level rise.
According to new findings, through an international effort involving 35 research teams, glaciers have been losing an average of 273 billion tonnes of ice per year since the year 2000.
[
But hidden within this average there has been an alarming increase over the last 10 years.]
![Ice melting from glaciers around the world is depleting regional freshwater resources and driving global sea levels to rise at ever-faster rates.
In the year 2000, glaciers [excluding the continental ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica] spanned 705,221 sq km, and held an estimated 121,728 billion tonnes of ice. Over the past two decades, they have lost approximately 5% of their total volume, with regional losses ranging from 2% on the Antarctic and Subantarctic Islands, to 39% in Central Europe.
This corresponds to an annual loss of 273 billion tonnes of ice. However, the amount of ice being lost jumped by 36% in the second half of the study period (2012–2023) compared to the first half of the study (2000–2011).](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/268/451/694/196/802/original/7701b2385182934f.jpeg "Ice melting from glaciers around the world is depleting regional freshwater resources and driving global sea levels to rise at ever-faster rates.

Glacier mass loss over the whole study period was 18% higher than that from the Greenland Ice Sheet and more than double that from the Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Glambie (Glacier Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise) is a major research initiative coordinated by the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) hosted at the University of Zurich, in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh and Earthwave Ltd to generate a community estimate of glacier mass loss globally.
The team coordinated the compilation, standardisation and analysis of different data from field measurements and from a wealth of different types of optical, radar, laser and gravimetry satellite missions.
Satellite observations included those from the US Terra/ASTER and ICESat-2, the US–German GRACE, the German TanDEM-X and ESA’s CryoSat missions, among others.

Glaciers are the second-largest contributor to global sea-level rise – after the rise caused by the expansion of seawater as it warms.

Research shows that a majority of Christian religious leaders accept the reality of climate change but have never mentioned it to their congregations https://theconversation.com/research-shows-that-a-majority-of-christian-religious-leaders-accept-the-reality-of-climate-change-but-have-never-mentioned-it-to-their-congregations-253303?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #ClimateChange
There was a time not very long ago when talking about the possibility that global warming might reach 3°C above the baseline was considered alarmist. You couldn’t say that without being labeled as a Doomer.
But today it’s not just “alarmists” like me who are talking about 3° of warming. Now it’s the allegedly respectable adults in the room, like Morgan Stanley…
https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/114262652848236074
And like Barack Obama… https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/113985510174651079
Except, stunningly, when those “elites” discuss such realities, it’s NOT to raise the alarm. It’s NOT to call for system change — which we so obviously need.
Rather, it’s to point out all the wonderful new possibilities for profit-taking. And it’s to calm everyone down. No need to worry, they tell us. Everything is under control. Capitalism has the solutions. We can live happily and even thrive in a 3°C world.

La Groenlandia ha 1.620 chilometri di nuove coste, da Focus.it
Secondo quanto rilevato da uno studio pubblicato su Nature Climate Change, condotto da un team di ecologi polari, geografi e scienziati marini, tra il 2000 e il 2020 la Groenlandia avrebbe guadagnato 1.620 chilometri di coste rocciose a causa dello scioglimento dei ghiacci.

How The Pudding Used Data Visualizations to Recontextualize the Story of Climate Change – Global Investigative Journalism Network https://www.byteseu.com/886490/ #Climate #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming
[PODCAST] Celebrated author, thinker and entrepreneur Paul Hawken joins Mongabay’s podcast to discuss his new book, Carbon: The Book of Life, and argues that the jargon and fear-based terms broadly used by the climate movement alienate the broader public and fail to communicate the nuance and complexity of the larger ecological crises that humans are causing.

I'm not saying that we must have a 'Green Fediverse Protocol" today, but maybe climate action could become part of ActivityPub someday?
We seemingly recognise the threats posed by climate change which will include mass migration (for survival's sake) - but this ‘study' recognises a large number will suffer - and of course it will be the poorer members of our society. Large numbers of poor dispossesed people - I can't wait!

While #Trump’s demands elicited international outrage & a rebuke from #Denmark, WH ofcls have in recent weeks taken steps to determine the financial ramifications of #Greenland becoming a #US territory, including the cost of providing government services for its 58k residents, the sources said.
#Trump has White House studying cost of #Greenland takeover
The WH is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal govt to control Greenland as a territory, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the matter, the most concrete effort yet to turn Trump’s [#delusional, unsolicited & unwelcome] desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable #policy.

3° warming, huh?
Good fucking job, everyone who could have voted for Gore/Clinton/Harris in 2000/2016/2024 but didn't. We can still save some of the lives those people apparently thought weren't worth showing up for, but that number is now going to be significantly smaller, and the fight significantly harder.
