Really important comment from Margaret. This is happening again and again, and it is dismaying, craven, and pathetic. Since when did it become OK for scientists to overlook evidence pertinent to the issue in question?

Now I've had a chance to read Andrea Sella's article in @chemistryworld.com on why he returned his Royal Society Faraday Medal. I recommend that you read it too. It's inspiring, though inevitably also disturbing, in these troubled times. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/why-...

In the absence of global climate mitigation, we project a regime shift to a world dominated by compound hazards or impacts. In our new paper by Gabriele Messori, we find that compound hazard occurrences will become the norm in many regions under RCP6.0 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

We had a further back-and-forth with the New Zealand prime minister about NZs proposed methane target of 'no additional warming' that flies in the face of international climate pledges. It could be a disturbing precedent that actually moves us backwards on climate. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Uncertainty in the face of serious danger is of course no reason to ignore it. Passing that #AMOC tipping point by mid-century looks increasingly likely in light of recent studies. And there’s also a more imminent, albeit a bit less detrimental risk: bsky.app/profile/rahm...

Part of the reason this sort of baffles people is that we still don't widely understand just how intensely silly it is to get energy from old dead compressed plants Made this a few years ago but it's the same today: ~2/3rds of climate impacts relate to energy that was never 'used'

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.
