Exciting postdoc opening @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social! Work at the intersection of climate science, heat impacts, and risk management with Klaus Keller (engineering) and me. Apply here, apply.interfolio.com/176582

The @ametsoc.org Climate Variability & Change (CVC) Committee is recruiting new members! If you’re passionate about advancing climate science and service, I encourage you to get involved. It is incredibly rewarding. Apply here: www.ametsoc.org/ams/get-invo...

EPA plans to roll back GHG reporting—just as we learn US transport emissions have cost the US economy $68B: zenodo.org/records/1708... The proposal isn't deregulation, it’s a tax on Americans through unchecked pollution.

This important work is very consilient with our attribution of extreme heat to carbon majors in @nature.com earlier this year: tinyurl.com/nhffeezv It is a great thing for science when independent groups with independent methods come to the same conclusions.

With the EPA targeting the Endangerment Finding, @ccallahan45.bsky.social, Alex Gottlieb, & I conducted an end-to-end attribution of climate damages from U.S. power sector emissions. The result: $78 billion in climate losses to the U.S. economy over 1973–2023. See here: zenodo.org/records/1687...

Last year, Alex Gottlieb and I showed the concerning nonlinear snow loss with warming that occurs around -8°C (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). This year, we show why: it is a simple counting exercise of days above freezing. Our latest in @agu.org Water Resources Research: doi.org/10.1029/2024...

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.

Come do a postdoc with our group at Dartmouth, documenting and projecting climate impacts! Applications will be evaluated until the position is filled. Salary, benefits, and other details here: apply.interfolio.com/168708 Reach out to me ([email protected]) with questions.

We are—as a nation—intentionally blinding ourselves at the precise moment we need to see our planetary insult most clearly.

This could be a big deal for the hundreds of climate lawsuits underway around the world. @jsmankin.bsky.social and @ccallahan45.bsky.social link emissions from specific fossil fuel companies to trillions of dollars in damages. “I think this is going to be the future of climate litigation." 🧪🔌💡

Can scientists trace climate losses back to the emissions from individual fossil fuel companies? Yes, we can. The inimitable @ccallahan45.bsky.social and I provide an 'end-to-end' attribution framework that can be applied in many climate accountability contexts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I receive numerous requests from journalists regarding the current situation with the Intergovernemental Panel on Climate Change. I am not involved in the work of the IPCC for the 7th Assessment Cycle (AR7). 1/...

This headline is an astounding (and gross) editorial sleight of hand.

Water memories are short in the American West. Just two years after the 2020–23 drought, the Southwest drifts back to its climatically preferred state: drought. This 2021 op-ed feels relevant as we approach the 2025 dry season with low snowpack and reservoirs: shorturl.at/Uvsyv

High CO2 is expected to boost runoff via plant responses, but our results challenge this. Conditioning plant-driven runoff changes on plant-forced precipitation changes, we find runoff declines are as common as increases, with CO2-driven runoff boosts over just 5% of land: shorturl.at/4zM7N

Identifying climate impacts requires data. And data is reflective of the power, values, and priorities of the data collector. MLB has high-speed cameras to isolate warming's influence on a batted ball, but no data on heat stress of ballpark staff & patrons. What of the impacts we cannot track?

Human-caused increases in extreme heat caused ~$30T in losses over 1992-2013, mostly in the low-income world least culpable for warming. $300B/yr in climate financing is 17 times less than the costs of but one climate hazard, estimated with data a decade cooler. Paper here: tinyurl.com/3psfnt4p

A low-grade pan-continental drought has emerged across the US over the last several months, with 49 states experiencing moderate or worse drought. Global warming makes the exceptional the rule, stressing emergency management practices: shorturl.at/dhVWW

As the governments of the world commit humanity to sailing by 1.5°C, a friendly reminder that our level of societal risk aversion—not science—remains the major uncertainty in setting the carbon budget. From Mathez & Smerdon, 2018, itself adapted from Meinshausen et al., 2009.
