🌏 New study in @commsearth.nature.com! Led by Kenzie Weaver, our team explores how tropical cyclone genesis and landfall patterns in Southeast Asia are shifting seasonally under future warming. www.nature.com/articles/s43... @michaelemann.bsky.social @andrajgarner.bsky.social @NTUSingapore

🚨New paper alert! 🚨 Delighted to share that our new research led by Kenzie Weaver, exploring seasonal variations in tropical cyclone genesis and landfall for Southeast Asia, has been published today in @natureportfolio.nature.com Communications Earth and Environment! share.google/D1LoDNSgmhs1...

i do not believe for a second that the hundreds of thousands of layoffs we’re seeing right now are bc ai is replacing them, seems much more likely that the economy is imploding along with corporate mismanagement

Important piece covering the ways in which warm ocean waters--made more likely by human activity--contributed to the catastrophic impacts we're seeing from #Melissa.

892mb, 185mph. You can spend your career doing work that shows we should expect more dangerous storms in a warmer climate... But it never gets less mind-blowing or heartbreaking to watch something like this unfold.

Finally, an independent expert, political economist @blairfix.bsky.social, has actually taken a look under the hood, digging deep into the details of Roger's methodology, and it's not pretty. Blair's commentary speaks for itself: economicsfromthetopdown.com/2025/10/26/r...

The human and social impacts of #Melissa are almost certain to be beyond devastating.

In my 30 years being a professional meteorologist, I can't say I have ever seen a #Hurricane with better/ more textbook structure than #Melissa in the Atlantic. It's been a Cat 5 all day long with no signs of getting any weaker. That's a rare run! Here's more...

Happy to have provided input for this well-written story by @laurenthal.bsky.social, highlighting some of the reasons to be concerned about #Melissa, and some of the ways that storms like this are becoming more dangerous in a warmer climate: share.google/96AvQEWmomwa...

For only the second time in recorded history, an Atlantic season has produced three Category 5 hurricanes... the previous year was 2005. This puts 2025 in an elite class of hurricane seasons. It also means that nearly 7% of all known Category 5 hurricanes have occurred just in this year. #Melissa

Changes we expect to hurricanes in a warmer climate include more rapid strengthening, slower forward movement, and more torrential rainfall--all characteristics that describe the incredibly dangerous #Melissa. If you know anyone in Jamaica, please make sure they get to safety.

Really glad to hear that @climatecentral.org has been working to revive and maintain the incredibly important "Billion Dollar Climate and Weather Disasters" dataset, as we continue to see human-caused warming making these disasters more costly and dangerous: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/c...

One of the findings from our 2024 manuscript assessing changes in tropical cyclone tracks near Southeast Asia was that, in a warmer climate, it becomes more common for these kinds of storms to impact Alaskan coastlines: share.google/pko58Q42M0lZ...

On The Climate Brink: More about the DOE Climate Working Group report. The Fix Is In: Without independent review editors, their “peer review” process is a sham. Science and humanity deserves better.

Some energy/climate math for the late night crowd: Total Absorbed Solar Energy: 240 W/m2 Total human primary energy use in 2024: 186kTWh (from ourworldindata.org/energy-produ...) Converting: 186*10^15/5.1x10^14/3600= 0.1 W/m2 => total energy from solar is 2400 times what we use.

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.

On The Climate Brink, I write about the DOE report and our response.

Glad to have been able to take part in this important effort, and to work with colleagues to provide a response to the DOE Climate Working Group report's sea level and tropical cyclone sections, in particular. Many thanks to @andrewdessler.com and @bobkopp.net for helping to organize this effort!

This radar loop of Hurricane #Katrina in 2005 spans August 28 at noon (CDT) through the morning of the 29th at 8:54am when communication with the radar was lost.

Proud to have helped out with this enormous effort. Say it louder for the people in the back: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."

Really nice piece in @agu.org's Earth's Future a few days ago, showing excellent agreement between satellite observations of sea level in recent decades and the sea level projections from the IPCC's Second Assessment report 30 years ago. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

🛑 Last Chance To Submit an Abstract for #OSM26🛑 The global conference for ocean sciences and the ocean-related community taking place 22-27 Feb 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland. Celebrate the power of collective discovery by showcasing your work in a world stage. ➡️Submit by 20 Aug: buff.ly/vBlrVDV

The only hurricanes in the satellite era with pressures as low as Erin's but below Category 3 winds are Maria (2017), Irma (2017), Sandy (2012), Igor (2010), and Gloria (1985). Erin in ultra-elite company as far as large, powerful hurricanes go. Spectacular sight on satellite.

The center of #HurricaneErin might not make landfall in the US, but its size, strength, and proximity to the coast mean it will still have impacts, including dangerous rip currents along most of the East coast for the next few days. Heed warnings at your local beaches if you're headed to the shore!

Public debate on global warming? Sweet. Let’s also debate the Ptolemaic model of the heavens.

Climate models since the 1970s nailed it—most predicted global warming almost exactly as it happened.

Abstracts for the 2026 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Glasgow, Scotland are due this Wednesday, 8/20. If you're a coastal climate scientist, we hope you'll consider submitting an abstract to our session on Dynamic Coastlines!

Erin is now a monster 160 mph cat 5 Atlantic hurricane: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/16/h...

Tropical Storm #Erin is still chugging westward & remains small, but convection (thunderstorms) is getting stronger near its center shown by colder cloud tops. Overnight, it can be easier for a storm's convection to take off. NOAA GOES-19 1-minute meso sector infrared imagery from the past 6 hours:

Today's daily dose of dystopian nonsense...

That's just one of many instances of distortion and misinformation in the US Department of Energy "Critical Review on the Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions". Which in fact is a fossil fuel propaganda scam. Let's hope Americans are not that easily fooled. tamino.wordpress.com/2025/08/03/s...

Reposting--there are just over two weeks left to submit your Ocean Sciences Meeting abstracts. If you're a coastal climate scientist, we hope you'll join us in Scotland for a discussion of "Dynamic Coastlines"!

“Who discovered that climate naturally changes and what are they saying now?” Should always be the follow-up question to this bullshit. We’ve altered the climate ourselves more in the past 20 years than nature has in the past tens of thousands of years

Totally agree. Climate change isn’t causing big subduction earthquakes. But it is raising baseline sea levels along our coasts, and that makes the impacts of those earthquakes and tsunamis worse when they do happen. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️
