Reflections on the Joint Committee on AI and my new working paper that shows how data centres could consume 55% of Ireland's electricity by 2040 and cause gas demand to rise. hannahdaly.ie/2026-06-11-J...

We ( @rahmstorf.bsky.social et al) first established the "cold blob" as a fingerprint of a slowing #AMOC more than a decade ago in this #NatureClimate study: www.nature.com/articles/ncl...

Breaking: El Niño is officially here, and it could break records. NOAA is giving it a 63% chance of becoming one of the “largest El Niño events in the historical record going back to 1950.” www.cnn.com/2026/06/11/w...

Global average temperatures are likely to continue at or near record levels this year and for the next four years afterwards, the United Nations has warned

What happens to a country without land? globalvoices.org/2026/05/27/t...

This BBC article states that "climate change is believed to have played a role in such hot spells as this." Let me fix it: Climate change IS making these hot spells more likely and more dangerous. Scientists have been warning of this for decades. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Burning fossil fuels has made this heatwave hotter. True for the UK today, and everywhere else, all of the time.

New episode out now! What can small island communities teach us about climate resilience and energy independence? In our latest podcast episode, Katharine Hayhoe and I travelled to the Aran Islands to speak with Avril Ní Shearcaigh. @katharinehayhoe.com

Having just returned from a trip where multiple events including a phenomenal outing to the Aran Islands with @drclarenoone.bsky.social occurred 100% because of people I first connected with on social media, I love what @brittlestar.com wrote about it just this week:

Tues May 5 @ 11am - "Translating Climate Projections into Effective Adaptation & Resilience Strategies" ICARUS @ Maynooth University Tuesday, May 5 at 2pm - kitchen talk on "Faith, Fossil Fuels, and Climate Action" with Trócaire in Maynooth. Informal, but the door won't be closed if you turn up :)

My trip kicked off last Friday, when @drclarenoone.bsky.social and I headed out to the Aran Islands to hear firsthand about how climate change is affecting islanders, and how they are building energy independence through renewables. Stay tuned for her upcoming podcast episode!

On the ground in Belém as COP30 kicks off. Nature and Community take Center Stage. President Lula has managed to walk a fine line between urgency and optimism, uniting world leaders around what connects us, rather than what divides us. I’m excited for the week ahead. #climatehope🇧🇷💚

Really looking forward to attending COP 30 in #Belém next week as an observer. 😊 @universityofgalway.bsky.social If you'll be on the ground, l'd love to connect and share insights. #cop30 #amazonia

In nice things we apparently can’t have here’s tgv high speed train getting from Paris to Reims in about 40 minutes which is about the fastest I can get from maynooth to Dublin which is a full 25km.

Every ton of CO2 matters : @climatenerilie.bsky.social quantifies the climatic impacts of one large fossil fuel project and its implications for further human heat exposure or coral reef loss, and how committed emissions challenge climate pledges www.nature.com/articles/s44...

This delay and the dilution of language to “where appropriate” are not harmless compromises. They will cost lives.

May 2025 breaks an unprecedented long sequence of months over 1.5ºC above pre-industrial 🌡️ May 2025 was the second warmest May globally 📈 May 2025 was 1.40°C above the estimated 1850-1900 average 🌊 SSTs were the 2nd highest on record for May, with an extreme marine heatwave in the North Atlantic

The marine heatwave off the coast of Ireland is pretty severe at the moment. Temperatures are about 3ºC above normal for this time of the year. Source: www.marine.ie/site-area/da...
