NEW – Guest post: How to minimise the risks from overshooting the 1.5C limit | Carl-Friedrich Schleussner G Joeri Rogelj Read here: buff.ly/3XVqtlr

🌍 Research by Robin Lamboll & Joeri Rogelj from Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial warns that exceeding the 1.5°C global temperature target – even temporarily – could cause irreversible damage Sea-level rise, species loss & permafrost melt are key risks, published in nature 🔽 imperial.ac.uk/news/256978/re…

I am astonished to report that basically all the papers written by a Chris Smith in climate change are by the same Chris Smith 🇪🇺, and yet somehow he's not been offered a permanent position yet?

Some colleagues and I published a short explainer on the role of methane mitigation for the Paris Agreement: imperial.ac.uk/grantham/publi… with Semra Bakkaloglu, Joeri Rogelj and Jenny Bird

The UK needs to accelerate domestic methane reductions by 30% by 2030. It can also support the Global Methane Pledge through its role as a financial hub to stimulate innovation in methane-reducing technologies. Read our briefing ahead of #COP29: ow.ly/sLWw50TPSYt

(but that's not the baseline used in all the damage calculations you've read, it's still only 1.31C over that)

On the 5th of December, we're hosting the amazing @abipalmer_bot's sensory video series explaining weather to her indoor cats! There's a panel with her, me and extreme weather attribution/adaptation scientists discussing what this is all a metaphor for eventbrite.co.uk/e/imperial-lat…

Finally saw Wicked. It's very good, but a bit unrealistic how people casually break out into speech when they're in the middle of a song. Also, it could have used more explanations of general relativity. youtube.com/watch?v=eYmLAO…

This evening we'll show Abi Palmer's video series teaching indoor cats about weather and discuss its links to climate change at Imperial Lates: eventbrite.co.uk/e/imperial-lat… Plus on Saturday, a drag biography of the particle physicist Lise Meitner vaginamuseum.co.uk/events/eventsc…

We welcome the new House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee report on methane, which cites Imperial College London experts Joeri Rogelj, Dr. Semra Bakkaloglu & Robin Lamboll, including calls for the UK to increase int'l engagement on methane. 📰ow.ly/U6pc50UpKoI

Paper alert on the "Reversal of the impact chain", ie setting climate risk levels and finding the ensuing GhG emissions to respect them. nature.com/articles/s4156…

How much we can still emit while remaining 50% likely to stay below 1.5C long-term (the remaining carbon budget, in light blue) from 2025, compared to what we've already emitted and the mass of carbon in various lifeforms (from Bar-On et al. 2018).

💬Countries have agreed to the 1.5°C global warming limit not out of convenience but out of necessity to limit harm and suffering of people. Read Prof. Joeri Rogelj and Dr Robin Lamboll's comments in response to Met Office's latest warning regarding rising CO2 levels 🧵

"We really need to bring emissions down in the short term because these feedback loops make it harder in the long term to stay below the [1.5°C] target" Robin Lamboll on record-high CO₂ emissions and the urgency for action, via ITV News (🎥2:03 onwards) itv.com/watch/news/why…

"You can't solve climate change with one country going on its own" On DW News, Robin Lamboll discusses the US exit from the #ParisAgreement, risks to the green economy, and how other nations can seize this moment to lead the renewable energy transition youtube.com/watch?v=qZuj6D…

"every £1 of value generated by the net zero economy creating an additional £1.89 in the wider economy... for every job supported by net zero businesses, a further 2.5 jobs are supported in the wider economy." eciu.net/analysis/repor…

I gave a few comments for this article in terms of the alignment of government promises with the 1.5C target: climatechangenews.com/2025/03/12/ric…
