Resi­dents of the Cana­di­an vil­la­ge of Lyt­ton fled their homes just in time to escape a raging wild­fi­re that repor­ted­ly engul­fed the enti­re place in 15 minu­tes.

Ever­y­bo­dy knows peo­p­le in big cities dri­ve less in dai­ly life.

But did you know they have more emis­si­ons from *air tra­vel*? [and yes, that’s con­trol­ling for inco­me, etc]. Why is that?

Ani­ma­ted dia­gram of the Earth’s Car­bon Cycle and how it has chan­ged over time.

Car­bon, in various forms inclu­ding CO2 and orga­nic mate­ri­als, is con­ti­nu­al­ly exch­an­ged bet­ween the atmo­sphe­re, oce­ans, and bio­sphe­re.

1. It’s very likely vital for decent sur­vi­val that we don’t stay at +350ppm for cen­tu­ries

2. We hit the +350ppm extre­me cli­ma­te chan­ge dan­ger zone in the 1980s

3. We need pro­found eco­no­mic sys­tem chan­ge action now to stop emis­si­ons as we head for +500 – 700ppm by the 2080s pic​.twit​ter​.com/​E​h​I​Y​Q​w​r​zGY

Per­ma­frost is a big topic in cli­ma­te sci­ence. The release of metha­ne, the dama­ge to infra­struc­tu­re & the mas­si­ve Sibe­ri­an cra­ters often make the news. But there’s one area that’s men­tio­ned far less often but is also of huge importance – that is Arc­tic coas­tal ero­si­on. Thread ¹⁄₁₇ pic​.twit​ter​.com/​1​C​w​n​z​b​D​24R

For a given amount of emis­si­ons, we can now expect glo­bal warm­ing to be worse.
