There is a new study out in Nature about the Atlantic overturning circulation. I will be curious to see the media reporting on this. If you wonder why, read my blog article on it! 🌊 www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar...

No shame in a half-read, life is too short to finish a book that generates limited interest

Can’t imagine who he was thinking of…

Hi pals. Today I wrote about the unsettling mismatches between what climate models say should be happening and what is actually happening. We're pushing the Earth past the limits of our physical understanding. This is a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Absolutely disgraceful

Irene Crespin, Australian micropalaeontologist, died January 2, 1980. In 1936 she succeeded Frederick Chapman as palaeontologist in the Department of the Interior of Australia - receiving half his salary because she was a woman #WomenInSTEM #histsci 🧪⚒️ paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2018/10/05/f...

The Queen of Science, mathematician, translator and science writer, Mary Somerville was born 26 December 1780 #histsci thonyc.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/t...

For all those who celebrate. This is GOLD. I don’t go to the other place any more. Thanks for sharing this @leaholmesrtbu.bsky.social

I gotta give it to the USGS. This is a really good timelapse of the beginning of the eruption at Kilauea today.

Personally I wouldn’t be taking any moral lectures from an internationally wanted war criminal.

Margaritaville should probably keep a few dermatologists on hand.

It’s not us, it’s you. If you move to the right, you leave a space in the centre. @PaulFletcherMP should see the community independent movement is caused by the Libs abandoning liberal values, not an ‘elaborate plot by left wing political operatives’! #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Cranky gang gang cockatoo!

Some good news.

Working on making it so you can unfollow everyone on X with @cyd.social, in addition to deleting all your tweets and likes and DMs

Four years of significant seismicity in Noto peninsula is believed to be caused by the upwelling and injection of crustal fluid into shallow faults. Sadly, we knew too little about these fluids. (1/3)

Hard to believe just how far these people have fallen down the rabbit hole, surely the science is easier to understand than creating such fantasies www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

The aptly-named 'octopus mallee' (Eucalyptus sinuosa) has the longest bud caps (opercula) of any eucalypt species. Only named in 2008, this rare species is restricted to a handful of populations near the south coast of Western Australia.

The next massive volcano eruption will cause climate chaos — and we are unprepared https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03680-z

I’m really hoping that David Rowe comes over here soon

Here is the Reuters story about the open letter by 44 experts warning about the serious risk of an #AMOC collapse. I had the honor to present it to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson at the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik on Saturday. www.reuters.com/business/env...

Things are getting restless at the Campi Flegrei in Italy. Here's what the situation is right now and what could happen. Whether an eruption occurs (unlikely) or not, the decisions for emergency planners and volcanologists are daunting. www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth...

Done! Checked and sure enough it was following me. Thanks for the warning, @jbakernyc.bsky.social !

Eye-popping explanatory journalism. A "little" heat goes a long way:

Perseids peak this weekend https://www.space.com/32868-perseid-meteor-shower-guide.html

Mud cracks on Mars! https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/08/mars-rover-finds-signs-of-seasonal-floods/

This image breaks me. At 2.7 degrees of warming, which is our present policy trajectory, two billion people will be exposed to extreme heat. 99.7% of those people live in the global South. People who have done nothing to cause this crisis. The injustice is staggering.
