Slowing ocean circulation Lazy AMOC?

44 experts from 15 countries issued a stark warning about the dangers of crossing an ocean circulation tipping point, in an open letter to the Nordic Council of Ministers. I had the honor to present it to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson yesterday. #AMOC

Given the importance of science, it’s worrying that we find a recent and drastic divergence of trust in science among liberals and conservatives. Paper accepted for publication at Public Understanding of Science. osf.io/preprints/osf/…

Indem der Mensch Land und Böden zerstört, gefährdet er die Fähigkeit des Planeten, uns mit Lebensmitteln zu versorgen. Bereits heute sind mind. 1,2 Milliarden Menschen von den Folgen geschädigter Landflächen betroffen, zeigt der Report von UN Land and Drought und PIK: spiegel.de/wissenschaft/n…

The US under both Republican and Democratic administrations has been arguing against legally-binding climate treaties at the COPs since at least 1998. Now Biden's lawyers are doing it at the International Court of Justice. 🧵

We learn more from reading on paper than on screens. 54 studies, 171k people: we process print more deeply than digital content—as long as it's informational rather than purely narrative. The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.

Trust in science has remained high among Americans for decades, but since 2018, an ideological gap in trust has widened drastically. We ask why this happened and how it matters. Open access paper here: doi.org/10.1177/096366… #ScienceTrust #Polarization #US Keith Smith

Science is neither red nor blue according to Marcia McNutt, yet our study reveals growing ideological divides in trust toward it. Conservatives' trust is declining, while liberals' trust is rising sharply. What does this mean for society? doi.org/10.1177/096366… Keith Smith

Why do you (mis)trust science? Has your trust in science changed over the last years? We found that a major shift in American attitudes towards #science might be underway, linked to ideology. Keith Smith doi.org/10.1177/096366…

In an unprecedented move, the US National Institutes of Health has begun mass terminations of research grants that fund active scientific projects because they no longer meet “agency priorities”. go.nature.com/4i2EaIb

This new study found a flaw in most econometric analyses of future damages from climate change. They used a different modelling approach that incorporates global economic interconnectedness, and found when you do this, projected damages are much greater than originally estimated.

Scientists just found a way to break through climate apathy grist.org/science/break-… The findings suggest that if scientists want to increase public urgency around climate change, they should highlight clear, concrete shifts instead of slow-moving trends. That could include the

When I started working as a climate scientist back in 2010, the world had warmed by around 0.9C compared to the preindustrial (1850-1900) period. Today, 15 years later, we are at ~1.4C with no signs of slowing down...

Since July 2023, 21 of the last 22 months have seen global average temperatures 1.5ºC above the pre-industrial level, according to #ERA5 data - with July 2024 just 0.02°C below that mark. Read more about the latest findings in our #C3S Monthly Bulletin: climate.copernicus.eu/2nd-warmest-ap…

“We conclude that both of our focus ecosystems [the Amazon and Siberian boreal forests] will almost certainly experience long-term committed changes, but the Amazon forest in particular is at risk of substantial loss.” New study looking at risks of warming on forest ecosystems.
