"Rapid warming in Europe is reducing snow and ice cover, while dangerously high air temperatures, drought, heatwaves and record ocean temperatures are affecting regions from the Arctic to the Mediterranean." #EU #ClimateHeating wmo.int/news/media-c...

In a rush to get the ocean to take up additional CO₂ from the atmosphere, very few people are asking whether it's good for the ocean. @giuliafaucher.bsky.social is an expert on the subject and she's examining the environment impacts of marine CO₂ removal. Y'all should follow her.

Nederland is nog nauwelijks voorbereid op een van de meest extreme mogelijke klimaatkantelpunten

Nog een draad(je). Hoe meet je de oceaancirculatie? Kort door de bocht antwoord: je gaat op een boot, gooit wat instrumenten in het water, laat ze een tijdje meten en haalt ze weer op. Correcte antwoord… is iets langere uitleg…

Rethinking the AMOC Variability: Why the Irminger Sea—Not the Labrador Sea—Is the True Center of Action – Ocean to Climate share.google/z1foK4Ka63bI... Voor de meelezers die zich wat willen verdiepen, in AMOC, Cold Blob en de keerpunten. Als je de regenwouden savannisering uit hebt. #tippingpoint

Al sinds 2003 ga ik ‘s zomers naar de Irmingerzee om metingen te doen. De Irmingerzee is het gebied tussen Groenland, IJsland en de Mid-Atlantische Rug. De zomerdagen zijn hier koud, grijs en mistig of helder en winderig. Maar wat er boven water saai uitziet wordt onder water gecompenseerd

En dan erbij vermelden dat landen zoals IJsland en Finland de AMOC al officieel hebben erkend als een dreiging

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire. One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

Read our opinion piece on AMOC! Now!

"The project isn't the deliverable. The project is the vehicle. The deliverable is the scientist that comes out the other end." I encourage grad student advisors (and grad students) to read this. All the pithy hot takes miss the point, this is a breath of fresh air. ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

Climate models project a AMOC weakening, with the timing and magnitude of the weakening not yet certain. A transition to a substantially weaker state or collapse cannot be ruled out. This would have major implications for the climate, societies globally, but especially in Europe. It is time to act!

wmo.int/news/media-c... The WMO report on Earth climate in 2025 is out Earth’s energy imbalance is highest in 65-year record The ocean has been absorbing about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades Extreme weather impacts millions and costs billions

Last night got stuck full of sensors and wires and got told “sleep like everything’s normal”. Of course you don’t. Now I am even more tired and still have a head full of clay (for holding electrodes). Tired me thinks this better lead to something. Nerd me wants to get the data to make plots.

Likely the best visual of the historic heatwave in the US West. You just don’t see deviations like this.

🌤️ Today is World Meteorological Day! This year’s theme, “Observing Today, Protecting Tomorrow,” celebrates the weather, water, and climate community’s essential role in observing our changing planet and helping communities stay safe and resilient. Learn more: https://bit.ly/40RM3cp

The ongoing record-breaking heat wave in the West will continue while expanding across the Central U.S. through the weekend. Based on preliminary data, there have been around 50 March high temperature records broken since March 17 and more than 150 daily high temperature records broken.

Een nieuwe energiecrisis laat zien: we zijn véél te afhankelijk van olie en gas. Roep daarom samen met ons kabinet Jetten op om vol in te zetten op schone energie van eigen bodem. Zo zorgen we dat Nederland energieonafhankelijk wordt 💪 Teken de petitie op https://bit.ly/eigen-groene-energie-bs

So cool: there’s a former open air waterworks laboratory in a forest on one of the Dutch polders. Now a natural monument, free to visit!

Did you know that before we had computer model simulations, the effect of water and waves on coastlines and harbours were studied with scaled models? But because you can’t downscale the properties of water, bigger scale models are better. www.natuurmonumenten.nl/natuurgebied...

Aside from areas in the eastern Bering Sea and Greenland Sea, nearly all locations along the outer edge observed less sea ice compared to average in February 2026. This is a pretty common story nowadays during winter due to long-term climate change. Another view: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

Every spring, thousands of fish swim through the Oudegracht in Utrecht, looking for a place to lay their eggs. But the Weerdsluis is often closed. The Fish Doorbell helps. When you spot a fish on the livestream, press the doorbell. The lock keeper will check to see if the lock can be opened.

Last December, weather and climate scientists sat down with us to tell us why they loved the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and why it benefits us all. Last night, the NSF began dismantling it. Listen to what they have to say, and why it's urgent that we #SaveNCAR wclivestream.com/act

Cutting the National Center for Atmospheric Research is partisan and short-sighted when the US — like all countries — is confronting accelerating climate change. Fortunately, the US alone can’t reverse the global trend for increasing climate science capacity.

Als Nederland overschakelt op duurzame energie stijgen de energiekosten 80% minder bij een nieuwe ‘Oekraïnecrisis’ dan in 2022. Dat blijkt uit een studie van TNO. Het energiesysteem is dan veel minder kwetsbaar voor plotselinge prijsstijgingen van olie, gas en kolen. www.nvde.nl/nederland-me...

Deze column van Ellen Deckwitz in NRC is mij uit het hart gegrepen. Drie jaar geleden zat ik in exact deze situatie en ik heb pas achteraf beseft wat dit met me heeft gedaan en hoe diep de angst en stress zich hadden genesteld in mijn gestel. Leestip!

Through 2026 I will be posting all 18 issues of the astoundingly prescient "CO2 Newsletter", published from 1979 to 1982 by the late William Barbat. Here's a clipping from Vol 1, No 2 (Dec-1979) Can't say we weren't warned, eh?

Years ago I had a plot idea for a short fantasy story Through some mysterious accident everyone in government had disappeared. To keep people from worrying this was kept a secret. A computer program was set up to generate news that looked like everyone was still there and it was business as usual….

Aan het eind van het jaar voegen we traditiegetrouw een nieuw streepje toe aan de klimaatstreepjescode: de reeks gekleurde lijnen die laat zien hoe de temperatuur in Nederland sinds 1901 is veranderd. De streep van 2025 kleurt donkerrood.

Not new, but still so very recognizable 😣

Make a Bond movie academic The funding is not enough

It's unreasonable to ask or demand of a nervous system that has developed specific defenses for specific reasons, to "just be normal." We didn't develop these patterns just for the hell of it, & easing out of them is going to require us to acknowledge & respect why they exist.

This is one of our favorites!
