Finally! I would like to think my relentless nagging was the gentle nudge that made this happen.

🌊 The N.Atlantic has been experiencing extreme T°C in 2023. This situation raises a number of questions: Have we missed something? Do climate models allow us to understand such an event, or have we entered a new climate regime? We attempted to answer these questions in this study: rdcu.be/eh0e8 1/14

This is great! And yes we should f***ing swear more about how we are still neither reducing global emissions to meet agreed targets nor adapting to increasing extreme weather already now happening

This Spring (March-April-May) may end up being the driest on record for the UK. This would also make it the driest of any season in a dataset that goes back to 1836. Spring in 1852 currently holds the record for driest season at 100.7 mm averaged across the UK. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Climate impacts will worsen - it is a question of whether they are terrible, really bad or just bad. It is a no brainer to scale up investment in adaptation. This will save money and spur economic activity. Climate resilience is a competitive advantage. www.theccc.org.uk/2025/04/30/t...

Daily record in Helsinki (±3days) shattered by more than 5°C! Reminder, record shattering events will occur with increasing frequency and severity in a warming climate.

Another great synopsis by Bob Berwyn. One weird thing about the debate between “it’s worse than we thought” and “the truth is bad enough” is the latter’s “truth” is pretty much in line with the former’s vision of what is expected to be “worse”😬

🌍🌡️ #Climate policies aiming at #NetZeroEMission are genuily #PublicHealth policies ⚕️💰 Their benefits may even outweigh their implementation costs. 📜🧪 That’s what we found in a study published today in The Lancet Planetary Health : doi.org/10.1016/S254... 🧵 1/

Wow, the whole Ireland (and parts of the UK) are under red warning. We are talking about truly historically powerful storm with wind gusts over land areas (!) exceeding 36 m/s. Stay safe! Minimum pressure could reach all-time record lows (~940 hPa) in the Scotland area.

Has the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) weakened over the last decades? In our new study, we combine state-of-the-art CMIP6 models and observation-based estimates of the air-sea heat flux in the North Atlantic to show that the AMOC has not declined since the 1960s! 🌊

Scientists developed the first climate models in the late 1960s (for which the Nobel Prize in physics was recently awarded!). How have these models held up against what happened in the real world after they were published? Surprisingly well, it turns out:

So, we have the global temperatures for the whole of 2024. It was the warmest year on record (1850-2024) across six widely used datasets: HadCRUT5, Berkeley Earth, GISTEMP, NOAAGlobalTemp, ERA5 and JRA-3Q.

Here's my visual explanation of why we have not yet reached 1.5°C even though 2024 was likely warmer than 1.5°C. 2024 shows us how close we are, but the underlying warming is still under 1.5°C.
