There are signs that a so-called super El Niño could develop this year, supercharging extreme weather events around the world. Some forecasts are suggesting it could become one of the strongest ever recorded. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/23/down-to-earth-super-el-nino-extreme-weather

The poor and middle pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the very rich pay lawyers – and the ultra-rich pay politicians. The billionaire death cult that steers humanity’s destiny doesn’t do existential crises. One of the symptoms of the pathology known as “billionaire brain” is an inability to see beyond their own short-term gain. They would sack the planet for a few more stones on the pointless mountain of wealth. And we can see it happening. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/23/catastrophic-climate-event-scientists-atlantic-system-collapse-billionaire-existential-crisis

What is a #tippingpoint, and why should we care? #Ecosystems are subject to disturbances and major shifts. #Pesticide run off from #palmoil pollutes local rivers, depleting the oxygen fish need to survive #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife 🌴🪔🔥🧐⛔️ https://palmoildetectives.com/2021/04/07/explainer-what-is-a-tipping-point-and-why-should-i-care/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Palm+Oil+Detectives&utm_campaign=publer

The critical Atlantic current system appears significantly more likely to collapse than previously thought after new research found that climate models predicting the biggest slowdown are the most realistic. Scientists called the new finding “very concerning” as a collapse would have catastrophic consequences for Europe, Africa and the Americas. #climateChange #climateCatastrophe #climateEmergency #climateBreakdown #tippingPoint https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/apr/15/critical-atlantic-current-significantly-more-likely-to-collapse-than-thought

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | How next-gen nuclear could help meet energy demands – and the risks involved by Paul Solman, Diane Lincoln Estes The Trump administration has rolled back support for many forms of clean energy.

The average doesn't tell the whole story and economic models are catching up to this fact. More warnings about the effects of climate change and the influence of extreme events on the economy. Economic models don't seem to take into account quality of life issues, either! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/05/flawed-economic-models-mean-climate-crisis-could-crash-global-economy-experts-warn #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #TippingPoint
