  1. Oceans are warming fast, with the past two months being the hottest on record. This warming is ongoing and affects the climate globally.
  2. Recent storms, like Storm Daniel, show how severe climate events are increasing in both frequency and intensity, causing devastating impacts in places like Greece and Libya.
  3. Six out of nine planetary boundaries have been crossed, meaning humans are affecting the Earth's systems in dangerous ways. This calls for serious action to protect our planet.

  1. Flash floods are becoming more frequent and deadly worldwide, causing large loss of life, displacement, and big economic damage.
  2. Climate change is a major driver because warmer air holds more moisture and changes rainfall patterns, and fires and land loss make runoff and flooding worse.
  3. Future projections show more intense short-duration rains and greater flood risk for people and ecosystems, so cutting greenhouse gas emissions is essential to lower that risk.
The Snap Forward 0 implied HN points 29 Jan 26
  1. Assuming continuity is dangerous — climate change is creating accelerating discontinuities and tipping points, so the past is a poor guide for the future.
  2. Climate brittleness will raise maintenance needs: everyday infrastructure and systems will face accumulating small stresses that cascade into bigger failures.
  3. Societies must either work harder to keep things running, abandon places that are too costly to sustain, or invest in ruggedizing systems, and limited resources mean these choices and risks will be unevenly distributed.
