RFMIP2 preprint now out! egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

If you want to get your simple climate model picked up by IPCC AR7, see below 👇 We have 11 on our radar from the previous round of RCMIP (egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...), plus a few others we found since. Anybody we don't know about please ping me or Alex

flat10-MIP has landed! gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

Now that it's public, I'm very honoured to be selected as Coordinating Lead Author of Chapter 5, Working Group I for the IPCC Seventh Assessment Report 📚🌍 Our chapter is one hell of a team! Full author list for all three working groups: apps.ipcc.ch/report/autho...

A deep dive into the world of simple climate models: preprint out from @arp-climate.bsky.social. we know this isn't exhaustive - we focus on the models that participated in RCMIP phases 1 and 2. There will be a phase 3, coming soon.

We (@tim-andrews.bsky.social, Ryan Kramer and I) are leading a session around understanding radiative forcing in models at the CMIP Community Workshop in Kyoto, Japan, next March. Abstract submissions open until 13 August: wcrp-cmip.org/event/cmip20... Session ID #4

Hello world, who else is in Vienna this week?

Please get in touch with Team @carbonbrief.org if you're in Bonn this week – @mollylempriere.carbonbrief.org + @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social have just arrived

In this Carbon Brief post we talk about the implications of not including future volcanic eruptions in climate scenarios, as described in our recent paper: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I'll be giving a short talk on 1.5°C at a mini-symposium at VUB on Friday 6 June as part of an event celebrating the award of an honorary doctorate to @joerirogelj.bsky.social, see below for details and registration!

Some sessions that ought to be fun & interesting: 🔷 ID4 RFMIP: Exploring radiative Forcing in models and observations to understand climate change 🔷 ID5 CERESMIP: Confronting models with observed changes in the Earth’s energy imbalance 🔷 ID15 CFMIP: Clouds, circulation and climate sensitivity

Very cool that @carbonbrief.org @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org have covered our study, take a read here!

New paper on the risks of forest ecosystem impacts under emissions pathways designed to meet the Paris Agreement temperature goals is out today in Nature Climate Change! 🌳 Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02327-9

To all of my friends in Oslo, I am presenting at the Joint Oslo Seminar tomorrow at UiO! It will be the full-fat version of my EGU talk: Updated IPCC emissions scenarios no longer limit warming to 1.5°C Details 👇 www.mn.uio.no/geo/english/...

Very excited to announce that the call for abstracts for our @iiasa.ac.at overshoot conference is out. Join us to explore the eightfold path to manage climate risks of an overshoot world: overshootconference.org Abstract deadline: June 27.

The preprint for Indicators of Global Climate Change 2024 is now up for public discussion in ESSD. essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...

Here's @arp-climate.bsky.social presenting on the upcoming process-based carbon cycle in FaIR at #EGU25!

Is 1.5°C still within reach? Find out tomorrow (Tuesday) at #EGU25 09:15, room 0.31/32, session CL3.2.1 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/EGU25-...

Foundation-funded postdoc funding opportunity to work in WA state! Interested in applying to work with me on climate on land or global carbon cycle dynamics? Reach out! Info sessions in May and June, due date June 26. www.wrfseattle.org/grants/wrf-p...

New preprint: differences in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions explained essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...

awesome study, and fair is all over it (cheers for the shout out @ccallahan45.bsky.social!)

🎡 ✨🚢 Next week, at EGU-2025, I will be co-chairing a session on shipping-related emissions. The session will feature contributions on a range of topics, including emission inventories, radiative impacts, in-situ measurements, weather routing, and agentic AI. More at 👉 lnkd.in/dyYwiN-v @cjsmith.be

Starting to think I might be the only person left on planet Earth who still believes that Hunga Tonga is (and continues to be) a net positive climate forcer. Should probably write a paper

Hi Bluesky! 👋 I'll get the ball rolling by sharing a paper I contributed to and has recently been published in GMD: gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/.... We took a look at carbon and nitrogen data from CMIP6 climate models and found some significant mass imbalances in the reported data.

NEW – Guest post: How to apportion ‘net-zero carbon debt’ if global warming overshoots 1.5C | @setupelz.bsky.social @robinlamboll.bsky.social @wimthiery.bsky.social @gidden.bsky.social @cjsmith.be @shonali-p.bsky.social Read here:

Scenarios Forum 2025: abstract submission deadline extended until 7 April scenariosforum.org/call-for-abs...

Future climate scenarios don't include actual potential future volcanic eruptions. In a paper led by May Chim, we fixed that. The summary is that including volcanoes increases the uncertainty in climate projections in the near term (think a 4th colour in Hawkins & Sutton) doi.org/10.1038/s432...

Very good. To note, our 2019 @autofac.bsky.social et al. paper explored EPC fair share Paris-aligned carbon debt framing for Ireland, concluding "we suggest that this methodology, and its CO2 debt framing, may be usefully applied in other individual countries or regions." doi.org/10.1007/s110...

What's the fairest way to deal with the (inevitable) overshoot of 1.5°C? New paper led by @setupelz.bsky.social explores the concept of "net zero carbon debt" Here's the VUB press release: press.vub.ac.be/who-is-respo...

This is behind a paywall :( but a critical reminder that climate change is a cause of increased energy demand (particularly for cooling), an effect that most climate scenarios do not include www.ft.com/content/4d4f...

Our session has been merged with AS3.30. We will have oral presentations (co-chaired with @cjsmith.be), as well as virtual and on-site posters, all scheduled for Wednesday, April 30th. Find more on meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Our new open access paper on the PRIME Earth System emulator for estimating regional impacts is out now: gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/..., @njsteinert.bsky.social, @chrisd-jones .bsky.social, @cjsmith.be, @gergmunday.bsky.social, @dougmcneall.bsky.social

‼️The US-based @ipcc.bsky.social technical support unit (TSU) for Working Group 3 Co-Chairs has been terminated, and the US won’t be attending next week’s IPCC meeting where the AR7 chapter outlines will be approved. More by @afreedma.bsky.social here:

The water vapour emitted into the stratosphere by the Hunga Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcanic eruption in January 2022 continues to influence climate. The MLS data for stratospheric water vapour is now only available a few days per month, but we can still continue the "tape recorder"

One of the many upsides to leaving the UK is sending that researchfish email straight to trash

Final few days to submit #EGU25 abstracts! ⬇️ meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... @cjsmith.be @yannquilcaille.bsky.social @eurogeosciences.bsky.social

2024 was the first year above 1.5°C. This does not mean that the 1.5°C level has been broken through. What remains to be seen is whether this is a continuation of 2023's trend, and what the causes are. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A warm welcome to Bluesky for my department @hydr-vub.bsky.social!

I'm convening three #EGU25 sessions. I like to keep myself busy. Are you interested in... 🚢 climate implications of shipping? | AS3.15 🥵 emulation of climate impacts? | CL3.2.3 🌐 uncertainties in CMIP? | ITS1.6 Whatever you submit, do it before 13:00 CET on 15 January. Links to follow.

All I have time for these days is dumping things on GitHub for others like @hausfath.bsky.social to write up :) www.theclimatebrink.com/p/exploring-...

People need to plan for climate risks. The research is there, but the usability for stakeholders can be limited. We introduce the reversal of the impact chain approach for actionable climate information that allows linking local risk levels directly to GHG emission. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Best secret santa ever?

Just one month left to submit your abstract for the EGU-2025 conference, session AS3.15: "Environmental Impacts of Shipping" which I will be co-chairing alongside @cjsmith.be. Don’t miss the chance to contribute! 👉 read session's aim and scope: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...
