🏔️🌍🌎🌏 New study warns: Even if we only temporarily exceed 1.5 °C, mountain glaciers face irreversible losses lasting centuries. Such an overshoot reduces glacier runoff, specifically in regions where some glaciers regrow. Further interested? Check out our new publication: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

How might forests respond during an overshoot period before the climate potentially stabilises at 1.5°C warming? See @carbonbrief.org's story on the recent @natclimate.nature.com paper co-authored by UKCEH climate modeller Chris Huntingford ⤵️

New paper on the risks of forest ecosystem impacts under emissions pathways designed to meet the Paris Agreement temperature goals is out today in Nature Climate Change! 🌳 Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02327-9

How do fish evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, and are there trade-offs? We explore these questions in our new paper @natclimate.nature.com led by Anna Andreassen @annahandreassen.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🐟🦑

Thrilled to see that our research w/ @profmichaelross.bsky.social & Eve Simoni on fossil fuel subsidy reform is on the cover of the latest issue of @natclimate.nature.com! www.nature.com/nclimate/vol...

Article: Quantification of how emission inequality translates into unequal accountability is lacking. Here researchers examine how affluent groups disproportionately contribute to the increase in mean temperature and frequency of extreme events. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Perspective: It has been argued that parts of the climate system can experience rapid changes and that such tipping can be anticipated by early warning signals. Here the authors discuss the limitations of such indicators and common pitfalls in their application rdcu.be/ejQfr

Cities having higher ambient temperatures than rural surroundings could offset some of the negative effects of increased heat-related mortality by reducing the number of deaths associated with cold exposure in some global cities, says @natclimchange.bsky.social study:

Our 2024 climate chronicles have just been published! Check out the Collection: www.nature.com/collections/... Thread below details all articles and their take-home messages. [1/n]

New piece from me published in Nature Climate Change: Decarbonization can improve energy security, robust trade and a circular economy increases energy security, and critical minerals are not like oil. 🔌💡 Journal link: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Open access link: rdcu.be/eg3lR

Meeting global climate goals requires ambitious climate pledges, but some policies put pressure on finite land resources. The cover article of @natclimchange.bsky.social's April edition, a recent CGS co-authored study, analyzes the impact of current pledges on croplands: nature.com/articles/s41...

Shifting from fossil fuels to clean energy technologies would improve energy security and reduce trade risks for most nations, according to a new Stanford-led study in @natclimchange.bsky.social

The groundbreaking study led by Dr. Pengyang Song is out today in @natclimchange.bsky.social! In his article, Dr. Song and co-authors investigate the response and feedback of ice cavities under a changing climate using the AWI Earth System Model AWI-ESM2. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are stoked to present a brand-new @natclimchange.bsky.social paper by our Jan Kavan! ❤️ Did you know that between 2000 and 2020, retreat of marine-terminating glaciers has exposed more than 2,400 km of new coastline in the Arctic? 🧵👇

Our work on the role of photosynthetic microbes in #peatland carbon dynamics, and the effects of warming now in @natclimchange.bsky.social. Warming amplifies microbial photosynthesis, and offsets ~14% of heterotrophic CO₂ emissions in northern #peatlands. rdcu.be/eejri @ribesresearch.bsky.social

Mike Hulme contrasts 'giant leap' funding for climate change research with 'small-steps' model that established the Tyndall Centre, 25 years ago, in @natclimchange.bsky.social 💬 See "integrated, interdisciplinary and incremental" research in Sept at our #Tyndall25UEA conference: buff.ly/ci3oOIJ

Our paper "Climate Change and the Global Distribution of Wealth" is out in @natclimchange.bsky.social! We study how climate impacts & policies are transforming wealth inequality 🌍 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Huge thanks to an incredible team: C. Mohren, P. Bothe & @gregorsemieniuk.bsky.social

As the @ipcc.bsky.social meets in China to agree the AR7 outline, here's an interview, we published in 2023, with AR6 chair Hoesung Lee reflecting on AR6 and thoughts on where AR7 might focus rdcu.be/ebem5

In Nature Climate Change @natclimchange.bsky.social, we show that Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) have strong but different effects on plant and insect phenology, as individuals respond to immediate environmental cues such as EWES, likely more rapidly so than to gradual climate change. rdcu.be/eaLMu

A great opportunity to learn how editors work - full time role for 9-12 months

Forests in the western interior of the U.S. are not regenerating fast enough to keep pace with climate change, wildfires, insects, and disease, according to a new @natclimchange.bsky.social study led by Colorado State and co-authored by ESPM professor Miranda Redmond. nature.berkeley.edu/...

Around 90% of the scenarios assessed in IPCC AR6 were based on one set of socioeconomic assumptions (SSP2). This is based on the metadata variable SSP_family, for scenarios that passed vetting and obtained a climate assessment. More discussion: rdcu.be/ealf8 1/

We can’t yet be sure if we’ve reached the Paris Agreement threshold of 1.5°C (2.7°F) of warming. But if we haven’t, we’re probably about to, according to two new @natclimchange.bsky.social studies. eos.org/articles/wer...

Want to understand how editors make their decisions - @naturegeosci.bsky.social has a temporary full time role available

🚨Full time position available - editorial offers a great career option for someone post-PhD looking for a new challenge

In Nature Climate Change, we show that a year above 1.5 °C signals that Earth is most probably within the 20-year period that will reach the Paris Agreement limit. @natclimchange.bsky.social

With 2024 coming in at or above #1o5C, and a run of 12 months to June 2024 where monthly warming was at or above 1.5°C, questions are coming about whether or not the longer-term 1.5°C limit set out in the Paris Agreement has been reached. 2 papers out today look at these Qs. 🧵👇
