Just a thought- It’s probably harder than it should be to jump into climate science nowadays and learn the physics in a bottom up way. There’s too much fragmented info. There were some blogs that used to do this well (dig into the archives of realclimate for example).

south Greenland is where ice is retreating about as fast as anywhere

Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives I’m the owner of that dog, and that’s my family. To provide more context: The kids were playing in the alley with the dog when a call came in for a cop to be dispatched, many blocks away. The officer happened to be driving by and told my son and his cousin to take the dog inside,

The global increase in #fire weather extremes is pretty unambiguous at this point. There are some regions where this increase has been more concentrated than others, but *very* few regions where it has decreased and some regions where it has increased very rapidly. #ClimateChange

I know skeptics aren’t the most creative bunch but kind of bummed this is the first I’m hearing of nuclear warming

Since I made it in a climate politics book, I maintain still, don't use "global boiling" or other equivalent phrases. Like 15% because it's wrong, but mostly because it's indeed cringe and useless.

In very warm areas, the wet bulb temperature is a good measure of extreme heat stress. In India, prior to 1990 there was little to no dark blue on this map, now nearly 15% of India is covered by dark blue.

It seems the biggest tell that someone has been picked up for climate disinformation on Twitter is adopting a certain stylistic and contrived way of writing, a forced daily or few times weekly cadence (screams quota), and a forced list of talking points that need to be recycled.

Update: This summer was the hottest summer since 1880 when modern recordkeeping began. August 2024 is the 15th month in a row of record-breaking monthly temperatures. More: nasa.gov/earth/nasa-fin…

Fun to see Richard Dawkins around when he announced the end of his public touring.

One consequence of climate change and things like aerosol trends: the zone of converging moisture (also a zone of diverging energy fluxes, which likes to move toward the hemisphere being heated more, to resist the hemispheric asymmetry). It will be interesting in TC modeling in

For those, like me, who are fascinated by our place in time, this new study challenges the idea that Earth’s biosphere has just a Gyr left. arxiv.org/abs/2409.10714

Part of fake, coordinated “skepticism” is campaigns to dig up old materials and show that they were “wrong,” as if nothing in astronomy, geology, chemistry, or biology (from the 1980s no less!) was ever wrong by a factor of two. In this case, this is even a very simple back of

Had a fun in person climate week pub event debate tonight with…a climate activist who was very confident about the significance of protest against his perceived against the existential threat of climate change. Just takes a couple beers
