Bar graph showing global ocean heat content change in the upper 2000 m from the late 1950s through 2024. There is a long-term warming in the time series.

ICYMI - 2024 was also the hottest year on record for our oceans. Unfortunately, we now say this every year. 🥹🌊

Plot spoiler: We’re not doomed - we’re just dramatically underprepared. Like showing up to an exam having only read the chapter titles. But unlike that exam, we can’t afford to fail this one. Time to ace this climate test. 🌍 5/5

The next 5 years are our “season finale” moment. We need: 🚀 50% emissions cut by 2030 ⚡️ Fossil fuel farewell party 🌱 Nature restoration at Beyoncé-concert scale Miss this window? The sequel won’t be a fun watch. 4/5

Here’s the tea: renewable energy is now cheaper than fossil fuels. That’s like finding out eating healthy is cheaper than fast food. Solar and wind aren’t just tree-hugger dreams anymore - they’re economic no-brainers. Big Oil is shaking in their expensive boots. 3/5

Remember when we thought 2023 was hot? Hold my coffee ☕️ - 2024 said. We’re not just breaking temperature records; we’re shattering them like a phone screen without a case. And this isn’t even our final form (unfortunately). 2/5

Too expensive to fix climate change?” Here’s the real cost: The World Bank estimates climate inaction could force 132 million people into poverty by 2030. Meanwhile, Swiss Re warns we could lose 10% of global GDP by 2050 if we miss our climate targets. 🧵 1/5
