The US’s super-rich are burning through carbon emissions at 4,000 times the speed of the world’s poorest 10%.

At one end, the wealthiest 0.1% emit an average of 2.2 tonnes of CO2 every day, equivalent to the weight of a rhinoceros or an SUV.

At the other, a citizen of Somalia burns off just 82 grams of CO2 each day, barely the mass of a single tomato or half a cup of rice.

Humanity has failed to limit global heating to 1.5C and must change course immediately, the secretary general of the UN has warned.

In his only interview before next month’s Cop30 climate summit, António Guterres acknowledged it is now “inevitable” that humanity will overshoot the target in the Paris climate agreement, with “devastating consequences” for the world.

I realized the energy tax credit is ending December 31, 2025 because of the Orange Turd's Big Beautiful Bill so I called 3 roofing companies today.

1 doesn't answer (bad point to them), the 2 others are coming tomorrow to prepare a quote.

So yeah, I hope my 25 year-old shingle roof will turn metal before December.🤘

Major Hurricane Melissa

#Jamaica, #Haiti, #DominicanRepublic, #Cuba, #Bahamas and the #Turks and #Caicos

Do not venture out of your safe shelter. Catastrophic and life-threatening #FlashFlooding and numerous #landslides are likely today (27 October) through Tuesday. Destructive #winds, especially in the mountains, will begin by this evening, leading to extensive infrastructural damage, long-lasting #power and #communication #outages, and isolated communities. Life-threatening #StormSurge and damaging waves are expected along the southern coast through Tuesday.

Local more than 1000 mm precipitation is possible!!

[Meanwhile... The US Gov is focusing on #FossilsFuels and calling #ClimateChange a hoax...]

At the Climate March in The Hague. As the climate crisis deepens, it's not much of a theme in the Dutch election campaign.
I heard it's because climate is 'only' the #4 concern of voters. But why not ask questions on #4 in the debates?
While immigration is talked up, climate is silenced down.
