New piece from me now up at The Conversation on the new El Niño event and the potential implications for climate tipping points theconversation.com/what-el-nino-m… #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ElNiño #TippingPoints

Several weeks after the ruckus, here's my tepid take on the AMOC collapse story - an explainer of what ocean currents like the AMOC are, if they could shutdown, and what the impacts of their collapse would be. #ClimateCrisis #TippingPoints #Gulfstreamgate

What does El Niño mean for our climate?  Broken temperature records can destabilise systems like coral reefs. In the long term, it can trigger climate tipping points.  Centre researcher David A. McKay (@[email protected]) explains more in The Conversation: buff.ly/47Io0Pa

Al Jaber's comments from #COP28 reminded me to finally sign the academics open letter in support of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (fossilfueltreaty.org/open-letter/#s…) - there is no path to limiting warming without an equitable & just fossil fuel phase out. theguardian.com/environment/20…

NEW – Q&A: Climate tipping points have put Earth on ‘disastrous trajectory’, says new report | Ayesha Tandon w/comment from Tim Lenton David A. McKay (@[email protected]) Tom Powell Manjana Milkoreit Read here: bit.ly/3R1lY5i

“Climate tipping points are nearer than you think – our new report warns of catastrophic risk”David A. McKay (@[email protected]) & I provide some thoughts. theconversation.com/climate-tippin… via The Conversation

New article up by me & James Dyke at The Conversation on the new #GlobalTippingPointsReport (which I led the first section on Earth system #TippingPoints in) published on Wednesday at #COP28 - full open access report available at: global-tipping-points.org #ClimateChange #GTPR2023

I'll be speaking in this webinar tomorrow (1030-12 CEST) giving a rundown of Section 1 of the #GlobalTippingPointsReport on Earth system #TippingPoints, which I co-led with 🪐 sciconaut.bsky.social. Full section available online here: global-tipping-points.org/section1/1-ear… #ClimateChange #GTPR2023

NEW – ‘Every 0.1C’ of overshoot above 1.5C increases risk of crossing tipping points | Ayesha Tandon w/ comment from Annika Högner Tessa Möller David A. McKay (@[email protected]) Read here: buff.ly/3WrtNnx

Today's my first day as a new Lecturer in Geography, Climate Change & Society at Sussex Global🏳️‍🌈✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿! Looking forward to teaching on climate change and data analysis, as well as new research on tipping points, resilience, and the Earth system.
