Excellent (brief) interview with Prof Michael E. Mann to questions you might have on the relation between the ongoing extreme events and our climate models. bit.ly/2W6OoSv

Een medeonderzoek (Rene van Westen) en ik maken een wekelijkse podcast over klimaatwetenschap voor het brede publiek. De eerste drie staan online. Interesse? Klimaat van Vandaag kan je vinden in je favoriete podcastapp. Veel luisterplezier!

Straks om 14.15 uur belangrijke live presentatie van wat de nieuwste beloften van landen voor verschil maken qua temperatuurstijging. Collega Michel den Elzen coördineerde het nodige rekenwerk voor deze update van het UN Environment Programme Emissions Gap Report. #COP26 youtube.com/watch?v=GXS_z7…

Nieuwste aflevering van onze podcast online: Alles over Emissies! 👇 Je kunt ons volgen op Instagram of Twitter voor meer updates.

We came to Glasgow following a path to Disaster (2.7°C). We leave Glasgow on a path to Danger (just below 2°C). Road from Glasgow is more action, more ambition, on finance, equity, 50% targets for 2030 & net-zero by 2050, and nature climate solutions. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Is #COP26 enough? No. Did anyone expect it to be enough? I sure didn't; this is a more ambitious effort to work together than anything we humans have ever, ever accomplished. But is it more than we had 2 weeks ago? YES. And there's a lot more to be done; so let's get on with it!

Tussen alle (begrijpelijk) negatieve berichten over #COP26 mag het onderstaande ook gezegd worden: er zijn stappen gezet. O.a. in het Paris Rulebook en een nieuwe referentie over kolen en FF. Hopelijk niet 'too little too late'. Op naar verdere stappen volgend jaar!

⚠️🌎New report out! 🌍 In Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Hard-to-abate Sectors, we developed scenarios to explore deep emission reductions in the sectors where mitigation is most difficult. pbl.nl/en/news/2022/a… PBL English @UUCopernicus

📢 We’ve just unveiled an innovative tool to decode complex energy and climate models. 🌍 Let's dive into the latest Nature Energy paper from ECEMF led by Mark Dekker (1/7)

The IMAGE fingerprint: - Moderately high responsivness - High carbon intensity reduction - Low Non-CO2 reduction - High dependence on Carbon Capture

.Mark Dekker and colleagues present a typology for energy models to map model differences, which may help in understanding their potential for studying mitigation strategies. @vassican, Detlef van Vuuren, Robert Pietzcker, European Climate and Energy Modelling Forum go.nature.com/3MBogH2

Thanks Yang Ou for your thoughts on decoding energy model variations in Nature Energy (doi.org/10.1038/s41560…), discussing our recent paper on energy model fingerprints. Your suggestion to extend the diagnostics to also include water and land is a good next step.
