John Clarke, my previous advisor and co-author from UC Berkeley, just won the Nobel Prize in Physics! John is not only brilliant, he is also super kind and nice. It makes me very happy that someone like John, driven by genuine curiosity, not status, won this incredibly prestigious award. Congrats!

New paper with @glenpeters.bsky.social in Nature Communications today. We show how models and studies with a lot of scenarios in the IPCC scenarios database have a large impact on key findings, including emissions reductions, net-zero GHG year, and coal, gas, and oil consistent with 1.5°C.
