New out in @EnvironResLett: Do citizens, experts, and policymakers believe the EU will meet its 2030 climate targets? #ClimatePolicy #EUClimateLaw #FitFor55 #ClimateCommunication #BeliefGaps

Climate politics sounds increasingly polarised. But in Europe, support for climate isn’t driven by die-hard supporters or opponents. It tends to be shaped by a large “conditional middle” (33%).

The @ligo.org and @egovirgo.bsky.social collaborations officially announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves #OTD in 2016. Hard to believe we are ten (ten!) years into the gravitational wave era of astronomy and astrophysics. A remarkable tool for understanding our Universe. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️

Climate change has an impact on the oceans, which in turn affects humanity, including our economy. In this recent paper, we quantify these impacts www.nature.com/articles/s41..., led by @bbastien.bsky.social with @francescogranella.bsky.social @maxtav.bsky.social within @sparccle.bsky.social project

Most of these damages come from non-market values: nutrition, coastal protection, and the existence value of marine ecosystems — not just market losses.

The Social Cost of Carbon for the Oceans is out today in Nature Climate Change. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Until now, ocean damages have been largely missing from SCC estimates used in climate policy.

1. In a GREAT paper (why isn't it published??), Anthoff, Dennig & @johannesemm.bsky.social show that most IAMs have a hidden goal of a uniform price and define Negishi weights to arrive at that goal. Yet, carbon price should grow at the discount rate (at least under a carbon budget constraint)...

Results: By 2050, direct CO₂ emissions drop ~65% in buildings & ~70% in transport (vs. current policies). Demand-side strategies provide climate benefits! 3/

🚀 Want to meet the Paris Agreement goals? Reducing energy demand in buildings & transport is key! 🔎 Our latest study quantifies how demand-side strategies complement low-carbon supply-side solutions. 1/

To occupants of the Blue Sky, I recently arrived from X & here sharing our nontechnical 2024 State of the Climate Report. Together let's raise our voices on climate. doi.org/10.1093/bios... tagging my distinguished coauthors @michaelemann.bsky.social @rahmstorf.bsky.social @naomioreskes.bsky.social

Excited to announce a new @pnas.org publication on the Social Cost of Carbon. We integrate evidence from the literature and expert survey to provide an SCC distribution inclusive of both parametric and structural uncertainties. Our mean 2020 value is $283 per ton CO2 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Goodbye X. Hello Blue Sky.

🆕 study: Climate change and #inequality are deeply intertwined. Keeping global temperatures below 1.5°C can reduce long-term inequality increase by 2/3, researchers show. Well-designed policies can help stabilize climate & promote economic inclusion: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Inequality and Climate Change - two important and interlinked challenges for soceity. Very happy that we finally finished our empirical paper with @M_E_Gilli @F_Granella @matteo_calca on the impact of climate change on inequality within countries. Three important findings:

A vicious cycle of global warming, climate extremes, higher energy demand (esp. for cooling), thus further emissions and warming makes early-on mitigation even more important. Check out our new paper with @FranPieC @edecian @jackjackk1

The EU's ambitious #FitFor55 package deserves great attention (see, e.g., the detailed comments by @Tagliapietra_S). But how fair is the target itself globally? Based on works led by @Hel1vs and @nicolejvdb @nlenvironagency @EIEEorg et al., the #EU target for 2030 is..

#BeyondGDP is an important concept. Can #happiness or subjective well-being based on surveys provide an indicator at the macro level? We argue it might, finding strong economic, environmental and social explanatory variables drivers. and SSP simulations.
