Skeptical Science2025 SkS Weekly Climate Change & Global Warming News Roundup #15A listing of 36 news and opinion articles we found interesting and shared on social media during the past week: Sun, April 6, 2025 thru Sat, April 12, 2025. This week's roundup is again published by category and sorted by number of articles included in each. The formatting is a bit different compared to previous weeks, though. We are still interested in feedback to hone the categorization, so if you spot any clear misses and/or have suggestions for additional categories, please let us know in the comments. Thanks!

"...new research shows that the aerosols that act as Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) cause water vapor in the atmosphere to condense and create more water droplets than we thought.
Surprise. Surprise.
The effects are much greater than expected. "

Yikes. A great way to cut carbon emissions though.

‘For the US economy, much is at stake, with the inbound travel market a major revenue-earner worth $155 billion in overseas visitor expenditure, and with millions of Americans employed in the tourism industry.

‘In 2024, before the Trump administration took office and introduced its extreme version of enhanced vetting, more than 710,000 Australians visited the US, a nearly 17 per cent increase on the previous year.

‘Now the giant French hotel multinational Accor has warned that bookings from Europe to the US for this northern summer’s high season are down 25 per cent. Airlines such as the UK-based Virgin Atlantic are also sounding the alarm to investors.
…

‘Extraordinarily, in the past week, experts, via the pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post, have been recommending that foreign travellers at least delete “anything you wouldn’t want someone to read or see from your device before visiting the US”.’

"Mike Berners-Lee about his new book ‘Climate Of Truth’.

Despite the seriousness of the threats, it is a pragmatic book helping to find ways to tap into personal agency, switching off malignant media, while calling out the lies and delusion that have gripped western society."

The only sane response to an insane world is to be insane yourself.

Thats life in the second quarter of the 21st century of the common era for you. War, genocide, neo-liberal / late stage capitalism, mass extinction, global heating, climate catastrophes, fascists, bigots... The list goes on and on.

If that doesn't make you depressed and anxious there is something wrong in your head.

‘…Our Renewable Future, was released…partly in response to campaigns against renewables developments and the emergence of sock-puppet campaign groups backed by industry to advocate for fossil fuels.

‘The environmental groups want companies working in renewables to take more care about where they site their projects and ensure buy-in from First Nations peoples and local communities, warning that corner cutting will be used against them.

‘“One bad project can ruin it for everybody, threatening community support, damaging the environment, and empowering the fossil fuel lobby,” they say.

‘The groups want buffer zones and “no-go” areas to be created near high-value conservation areas to help project developers quickly assess where they should or should not site a project.’

(No, not the dig-a-bunker-hoard-food-and-shoot-everyone-prepper will survive. Nobody will make it alone, and also nobody will make it on the expense of others. Our greed and self-centeredness needs to die. I know I repeat myself, but let's grow up and help each other.)

Analysis of nations on their potential resilience in the ongoing climate and system breakdown, defining possible "collapse lifeboats"

mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/15/8161

MDPIAn Analysis of the Potential for the Formation of ‘Nodes of Persisting Complexity’Human civilisation has undergone a continuous trajectory of rising sociopolitical complexity since its inception; a trend which has undergone a dramatic recent acceleration. This phenomenon has resulted in increasingly severe perturbation of the Earth System, manifesting recently as global-scale effects such as climate change. These effects create an increased risk of a global ‘de-complexification’ (collapse) event in which complexity could undergo widespread reversal. ‘Nodes of persisting complexity’ are geographical locations which may experience lesser effects from ‘de-complexification’ due to having ‘favourable starting conditions’ that may allow the retention of a degree of complexity. A shortlist of nations (New Zealand, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland) were identified and qualitatively analysed in detail to ascertain their potential to form ‘nodes of persisting complexity’ (New Zealand is identified as having the greatest potential). The analysis outputs are applied to identify insights for enhancing resilience to ‘de-complexification’.
