"Another Year of Record Heat for the Oceans" | Our ( Lijing Cheng et al) new study in Adv. Atmos. Sci.; this year we also show the consistent La Niña-like patterns of warming across recent decades. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Good news: attitudes are starting to jibe with the science climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/c… Bad news: no change from 2008 to 2020 in how often people reported talking about global warming with family and friends. Notable: California leads, nation follows. Economics matters.

After the recent La Nina 3-peat, scientists detailed a possible link between this rare event & the effects of the Australian bushfires of 2019. John Fasullo discovered a “Rube Goldberg” machine of climate interactions that led from 🔥emissions to a La Niña. news.ucar.edu/132892/austral…

I wrote a meta piece about some interesting research by ⁦John Fasullo⁩ and colleagues out today. Yet another global effect of the dreadful 2019 Black Summer bushfires. 🔥 theconversation.com/smoke-from-the…

Interannual variability in wildfire triggers abrupt subarctic permafrost thawing, increased soil water drainage, and surface warming. This slow process is amplified by nonlinear cloud-aerosol interactions, driving decadal climate variability. John Fasullo nature.com/articles/s4161…

"Both sides" of the climate story - by the GOP • Climate activists are like Nazis. • Wind and solar power pollute the Earth and make life miserable. • Recent global and local heat records reflect natural temperature cycles. scientificamerican.com/article/desant…

Since I’m meant to be a member of the cult shushing everyone about Tonga, I’d like to talk about it. There was a time in ancient history (Before Covid) when I PhD'd on volcanic stuff, then I wanted to blow up GCMs even more with exoplanet modeling. So we're wiping the dust off.🧵

"Inconsistent climate projections for much of the Global South from six generations of IPCC assessments have compounded the many challenges it faces in adapting to climate change" - we note today in Nature Climate Change nature.com/articles/s4155…

The Gulf Stream has been weakening since the 1980s. Full stop. That's the main conclusion of my Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) paper with Lisa M Beal University of Miami Rosenstiel School out today in AGU (American Geophysical Union) Geophysical Research Letters. Here's a thread. 🌊🌊🌊 1/ agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

[1/12] Now 2023 Ocean Data is out! Global 2023 upper 2000 m ocean heat content was the highest ever recorded by modern instruments, 15 ZJ higher than 2022 for IAP data (doi.org/10.1007/s00376…) with a major update of IAP time series since 1940 (ocean.iap.ac.cn)

‘Climate contrarianism’ is down but not out; over the past decade, increased paranoia, piggybacking on ESG/culture wars, and decreased influence. colorado.edu/asmagazine/202…

Deadly rainfall in Central Europe twice as likely due to our continued burning of fossil fuels - World Weather Attribution study. Early warning meant deaths were avoided, but plans to strengthen flood defences have been implemented way too slowly.

What a profound insight. Perhaps we could do a study comparing rural and urban stations over time to assess bias? agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Or set up a pristine network of remote monitoring stations? agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Or exclude urban locations from our analysis?
