Anyone interested in climate attribution, check out how the latest models will look. The design and implementation is particularly exciting, as we move from 'concentration driven' to 'emissions driven' models. Comments on our paper are very welcome egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

More evidence - this time from the UK - that low carbon policies improve health, save lives and money. Valuing the health benefits shortens payback times to just a few years. Clearly a much better deal than the world continuing to subsidise fossil fuels. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What will the future of the warming stripes be? 2024 could be the start of a stabilisation of global temperatures, or it might appear to be a cool year. Which one of these stories becomes reality depends on our choices today, and every day until then. We are likely to regret not acting sooner.
