Do UN Climate Change #COP meetings affect oil and renewables stock prices? Short answer is: no! Come and check out our Robin Lamboll poster at #EGU2024

Having travelled around Europe by train a lot, I get asked for advice on how to do this best. I wrote up some thoughts about this and travelling to conferences as a climate academic: scienceisshiny.wordpress.com/2024/04/30/tra…

Would your enjoyment of art be reduced by the discovery that the artist producing it is:

With every year passing global warming progresses. 🌍🔥 IPCC reports provide the most authoritative climate assessments but only in 5-7 year intervals. To fill this gap over 50 scientist annually update key indicators of global climate change. Latest update out now, a🧵

I had a discussion about Paris temp targets recently. I don't see any reference to "end of century" in the text. The convention of allowing overshoot for 1.5C is because 1.5C is difficult and weakly stated in the text. We can't apply this to the well-below-2C target.

This Sunday at 11am I'll be reading some physics poetry for Sunday Assembly London, now located in the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green! tickettailor.com/events/sundaya…

Conference chairs should cut off people "asking questions" for more than 30s in a 2 min question session.

“Our results show why reducing emissions this decade is crucial for the state of the planet. Failing to reach the Paris Agreement target risks reshaping the Earth’s systems for centuries to come,” says Dr Robin Lamboll, one of the co-authors of the study. imperial.ac.uk/news/255216/cl…

A special thanks to Carbon Brief for their excellent coverage of our study, which highlights our key findings. Check out their article here 👀: carbonbrief.org/every-0-1c-of-… 4/4

Had a lovely time at Fire&Dust poetry, and it was good to catch up with the team afterwards!

Next week is the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) annual meeting, and on Thursday I'll give a workshop on making predictions for climate science and policy. I will provide cookies. But do #geographers prefer oatmeal and raisin or oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies? Predict below!

The New Scientist kindly quote me saying "Please don't use that headline". Interesting study but most policies are designed NOT to make sudden breaks in behaviour (which this detects but people dislike), but to build greener societies (gradual effects). newscientist.com/article/244501…
