Very very bad for Earth 🌍🌏😢

I work on sea level rise, but it always remains striking to hear the future put this way:

🔊🚨Finally! Out this week in Communications Earth & Environment our paper shows that as sea-level rise accelerates due to climate change, its multidisciplinary field of science has similarly expanded over the last 3 decades. A🧵on how this research came about and what we found. nature.com/articles/s4324…

"long-term changes in oceanographic parameters (such as waves and storm surges) may still be too small to have a measurable impact on shoreline recession/progradation" IHE Delft 💧 Institute for Water Education Deltares

Recent research shows that long-term global changes in ocean wave conditions have not produced measurable recession of sandy coastlines. unimelb.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

#IPCC wraps up elections in Nairobi 🇰🇪 During a four-day meeting held at UN Environment Programme HQ in Nairobi, the Panel elected its new Bureau to lead the IPCC through its seventh assessment cycle. Check out the new team here 👉 bit.ly/IP59PR

We should never forget that low lying island states #sids face an existential threat from climate change. Precisely why we should take ambitious #ClimateAction and not sink into despair. We have agency! @adelle_SIDS is there to remind us in #IPCC .

Over 9,000 scientists told us about how they use the social-media platform now known as X. More than half of respondents have reduced their time on the platform, and 7% have stopped using it altogether go.nature.com/3sftDEr

Current policies make it likely that #globalwarming will exceed 1.5°C during the 21st century & make it harder to limit warming below 2°C. #IPCC's Synthesis Report underscores the urgency of taking more ambitious action. 👉 bit.ly/SRYRpt23

IPCC The IPCC is targeting energy production in the west, while ignoring China - solid evidence that this has nothing to do with climate, and everything to do with hurting western countries. ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual…

Analysis by NASA of high-resolution climate projections concludes that, if global temperatures keep rising and reach 2C above pre-industrial levels, people worldwide could face multiple impacts of climate change simultaneously, with serious consequences. climate.nasa.gov/news/3278/nasa…

What can satellite data do for you? 🌊🛰️🌏 Our new paper offers ideas on how coastal communities could use satellite data to dynamically adapt to sea level rise. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Ben Hamlington, Dave Rounce, Renee Collini, Marjolijn Haasnoot, Sandr Schlappovic, Center for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation et al.

Coastal impacts of sea level rise are not limited to inundation of low lying coastal areas (i.e. permanent flooding). Sea level rise will increase the frequency of extreme sea levels and associated episodic coastal flooding and coastal erosion. @ipcc Deltares IHE Delft 💧 Institute for Water Education

Global air temperatures remaining much higher than normal for the time of year. And El Nino is only just starting. We expect to see more devastating extreme weather events, especially in Australia, South America & Asia in the coming months. Graphic: Copernicus ECMWF

How much carbon can we emit while limiting warming below 1.5°C? It was very little and now it's even less. In a new paper in NatureClimate we update the IPCC carbon budget numbers with improved methods and new data. (1/n) nature.com/articles/s4155…
