A group of our scientists will be attending EGU #EGU24 , starting this weekend.

It's Europe’s largest and most prominent geosciences event attracting 16k scientists from around the world.

Prof Richard Betts will speak on Monday about our paper on approaching 1.5 °C⤵️

I'm excited to present my research with Pierre Friedlingstein ,Stephen Sitch & Mike O'Sullivan at EGU 2024.
I participate in OSPP Award (Outstanding Student & PhD Presentation). Thursday, 18 April 2024, 14:00-18:00 in Hall X1 at board number X1.9.

See you there 🙌

Prominent climate change denier James Delingpole had a column in The Telegraph for a long time to tell us all how stupid we are for imagining that anything humans can do might change the climate. It’s sort of funny, in a dark kind of a way, to see the mental gymnastics now.

Pleased to be speaking at the EGU #EGU24 conference on Monday on our nature paper on how we will know when we've reached 1.5°C global warming

Session CL2.6 Global and regional climate observation and monitoring, PICO 5 - I'm on at 10:45 🧵

Interesting thoughts on COP28 by one of our University of Exeter students ⤵️

No, we do not have only '2 years left to save the earth'.

As the science says,

The most beautiful music in the Amazon. It is a true privilege to listen in the forest. The tears kept running from our eyes as the beauty of this song encompassed us.

A little nod to Peter Higgs, to mark his passing. I interviewed him at Cheltenham Science Festival a few years ago, and asked him to sign this silly note, which he was delighted to do! There are only two of these in existence (a certain other Irish comic has the other). RIP.

Congratulations Chris - very well deserved

So pleased to be elected as a fellow of Royal Society of Edinburgh. It's a lovely honour.

Special thanks to my team Climate Change Committee for their support (and especially for the insights they've provided on Scotland's climate progress).
🙏

Long live the Entente Cordiale,
Vive l’amitié franco-britannique !

Pleased to say that from June I'll be at MPI-M in Hamburg, working on decadal prediction of heat extremes as part of the 'A Coming Decade' project. I will miss Exeter greatly but I'm looking forward to moving/starting!

If we reduce CO2 emissions in line with a 1.5C pathway (zero emissions around 2050), then the CO2 in the atmosphere will start to decline (even though temperature remains constant with zero emissions).

For now, atmospheric CO2 is rising rather fast...

🌎NEW EPISODE🌍

Prof Richard Betts and Nick Dunstone discuss The Met Office's 2024 global temperature and CO2 concentration forecasts and the likelihood that we exceed the 1.5 degree threshold this year.

But is that difference “massive”? Ha.

For some reason, Toby and Chris don’t show what difference it actually makes. How strange!

Also odd is that they don’t tell you that it’s all within the published uncertainties.

Nothing illustrates the vacuity of what passes for climate scepticism in the UK than Matt Ridley retweeting Toby Young who publishes a piece by Chris Morrison based on total bollocks.

Ofcom should hold GB News to the same standard as the BBC!

Imagine seeing this and thinking the problem was riding a bicycle in a city rather than a transportation system so deadly you need 3-tons of PPE to safely navigate in it.
