On Monday 10th @14:00 BST |15:00 CET |07:00 MT, the International Land Model Forum and ISI-MIP are hosting a joint webinar. Topics will include: The design of ISIMIP experiments, Harmonization of forcing and land-use data, Shared challenges e.g. generating sub-daily forcings for offline forcing.

Last week, my Foundations of Human-Computer Interaction class covered an older paper about “social translucence” where they explain how the design of online systems shapes the norms & behaviors w/in those systems. But the framework they create can be applied more broadly, eg to our political moment.

This totally happened to the kids Halloween haul last year 😭

Climate change DEFINITELY affects hurricane: STRENGTH: Warmer water is hurricane food RAINFALL: Warm air holds more water vapor SURGE: Warmer water expands, warmer ice melts, sea levels rise PREDICTION: hotter seas mean faster intensification

I'd like to go to the #EGU meeting this coming year. Any tips for a many-time AGU attendee going to their first EGU?

I've been involved in this CH4 vs CO2 thing for years, and indeed GWP* is a concise embodiment of the concept I proposed in my Annual Reviews article on short lived climate pollution. I cannot understand why something like GWP*, which demonstrably

I’m wondering if @ternbicycles.com knows that there are a whole bunch of climate scientists who ride GSDs!

Our comment to the DOE and EPA about the DOE Climate Working Group report is now posted on ESSOAR preprint server. It has a DOI and can now be cited! essopenarchive.org/users/260056...

I'm happy to share a paper in Science Advances that makes the case for a weak land carbon sink, drawing upon JPL and Chloris biomass time series. To close the budget with a net land sink of 0.8 Pg C/y from 2000-2019, we propose increases in the ocean sink and decreases in fossil fuel emissions.

Maybe the land carbon sink is weaker than we thought. Big implications: "A lower-than-expected land carbon sink would also imply that the land biosphere may be closer to transitioning from a net carbon sink to a net source than current models predict" Randerson et al. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

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

Our finalised paper on flat10MIP is finally up in GMD! This is the experimental protocol which allows for a simple, emissions-driven evaluation of TCRE, ZEC and climate reversibility in CMIP7. Thanks so much to all who ran these simulations as a proof of concept! gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

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

very nice article by @afreedma.bsky.social at @cnn.com about our comment on the DOE report www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/c...

More coverage of the scathing review by more than 80 scientists of the report from the DOE's climate working group. It's biased, cherry picked, and written with a scientifically unsupported agenda. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

Having spent much actual and emotional time and energy responding to this report, I whole-heartedly agree. Greenhouse gas emissions are bad for our planet, it's not a matter for debate.

Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out. Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

Great article in the NYTimes about our comment to the DOE about their climate report. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/c...

To be clear, we really do not need to and should not be having to use our time 'debating' this fantastical nonsense in 2025. There are enough real bits of actual climate science to do. The collective brainpower expended on this by so many scientists could have been -much- better spent.

I helped write the responses to the DOE CWG report Chapter 9 (on Agriculture) and section 2.1 (on CO2 fertilization and greening). Several times I thought we should just use this post from @drkatemarvel.bsky.social as the whole response. bsky.app/profile/drka...

Reviewing this disinformation filled document was a colossal effort! See link in thread to sign up to receive the comment and press package.

Are you interested in biosphere-atmosphere interactions, global modeling, and living in Zurich? If so, this postdoc position might be for you! Please share with any interested colleagues: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP...

How long do you expect a journal to take to assign an editor?

They want to destroy OCO-2 and switch off OCO-3. As soon as October. 😤🤬😫

The @nationalacademies.org launches a fast-track review of latest evidence for whether greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare. The committee has issued a request for information with a submission deadline of August 27. www.nationalacademies.org/news/2025/08...

Good article but I feel this also goes beyond the national angle. The decline in the scientific dominance of the US won't just hurt them, it could delay global scientific progress where other states don't have the drive, resources or concentrated expertise to carry on the momentum. /1

Sad to hear about the legendary Tom Lehrer passing. There was a period of time when we listed to a lot of his songs in our house! And a few of you may remember this: bantha-fodder.com/bootlegs/str...

Please consider joining our #AGU session on beautifully complex Water-Energy-Carbon interactions with a broad scope from theory to applied science. Invited talks by Julia Green @juliakgreen.bsky.social and Gabe Kooperman.

If you've been influenced or inspired by the contributions of Rafael Bras to hydrology and related fields please consider contributing to the Rafael L. Bras Symposium at the @ametsoc.org meeting in Houston next January. I'm very excited to see other Bras hydrology family members and friends there!

Is anyone planning on attending AGU this year? It seems like a tough year for making the decision this early…

Under Trump, NOAA ran the most recent competition for their highly prestigious postdoc program in climate and global change — but funded no one, wasting huge amounts of applicant and reviewer time. It gets a lot worse. Now current postdocs in the program are going unpaid.

This is such a loss. I've served on the selection committee for this program for the past three years, because it has funded so many incredible people doing such important research over the years. It should be expanding to meet the new challenges of climate change, but instead is totally defunded.

Do plants affect global climate through water? Some climate scientists say yes, but others say plants' effect is only local or regional. If the plant-power proponents are right, it means, to solve climate, we need more than the energy transition. We also need to restore land to health. My story:

Awesome new faculty job -- the University of British Columbia is looking for a senior ecosystem scientist to fill a new research chair position. geog.ubc.ca/job-opportun...

Looking for some more Earth system science in your next week? Check out the 30th anniversary CESM workshop! Land talks are Monday afternoon MT, and biogeochemistry is Tuesday morning. It's free to register for remote attendance: urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

Great communication about the impacts of the sledgehammer the administration is taking to science in the USA in general and to NOAA in particular.
