By linking Antarctic sea ice, cloud cover, deep ocean temperatures, and global warming, our new study led by @linusvogt.bsky.social finds that ocean heat uptake and thermal sea level rise by 2100 could be 3–14% higher, and global surface warming 3–7% greater than previously thought👇

We will regret not acting faster on climate change.

The UK's hottest spring and summer yet. The highest area of UK land burnt by wildfires since records began. Drought, flooding, extreme heat and cold. Climate breakdown is already here. Badenoch's proposal to scrap the CCA isn't just ill-advised; it would be catastrophic.

Fascinating and important piece from @petergeoghegan.bsky.social & @maybulman.bsky.social on the Tony Blair Institute. "while ... Policy Exchange and the Institute of Public Policy Research had incomes of £4.3m in 2023-24, TBI’s turnover in 2023 was $145.3m." (!) www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

Bomb cyclone rate = 24 hPa/24h multiplied by sin(latitude)/sin(60°) such that it is geostrophically equivalent (see Sanders & Gyakum, 1980). The sine latitude correction is often neglected in the media; it makes little difference here but does at lower latitudes (e.g., bomb cyclones affecting US).

Are the economics of Direct Air Capture finally catching up with the thermodynamics? The $ cost of removing CO2 from the air stubbornly refuses to fall. No surprise given this is very energy intensive. And we haven't even begun to talk about permanence & its costs. www.ft.com/content/fa4c...

Look at that eyewall spin!

After a brief (ahem) hiatus, the HadCRUT5 global temperature dataset has now been updated to June 2025 by @metoffice.gov.uk @climateuea.bsky.social and @ncas-uk.bsky.social

"There are only three operating [small modular nuclear reactors] in the world... The cost overruns on the China SMR was 300%, on Russian SMRs 400% and on the Argentina SMR (so far) 700%.” All promised to be up and running in three to four years and all took 12 years or more to complete."

Sorry, but disagree with @hausfath.bsky.social here. You open Pandora's box, you ain't closing it again. We've already seen with Paris that well intentioned international agreements do not translate into physical reality and SRM governance is a much harder problem. Zero is the only safe level. /1

I think I have the same reaction to @hausfath.bsky.social and Keith’s op/ed as I do with the idea that global climate “tipping points” and “planetary boundaries” should be the basis of global climate governance —

I'm starting to think all the emissions reductions achieved by the Germans are entirely offset by the sheer amount of smoking they do.

The EU will not submit its NDC ahead of the deadline next week. "The statement of intent is a hard-fought consolation prize, but it allows the EU to speak with one voice at the General Assembly next week," commented @lindakalcher.bsky.social. Full quote 👇

wenn ich komplett darauf verzichte, freundinnen zu sehen oder mit meinem freund irgendwo hinzugehen etc und wenn für mich eingekauft & gekocht wird, dann schaffe ich aktuell trotz der krankheit ca 2-3 arbeitstage pro woche. wobei jeder arbeitstag bedeutet, dass es mir am tag danach schlechter geht.

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them. This is getting very dark, very quick.

We always get asked, "What can I *personally* do to help address climate change?" Sadly, there hasn't been a very good answer to this question. Previous guides often treated people as monoliths, giving them a one-size-fits-all answer. But that's changed now. Enter SHIFT. jointheshift.earth

This briefing has an amazing, top line up. Even those who think they already know all the essentials of climate and nature are likely to gain transformative insights. Please press your MP to be there .

Update on this thread: Thanks to the feedback on this thread, I realized the methodological problems with the Voortman and De Vos (2025) paper (which the New York Post heralded as "Rising-sea hysteria debunked") went deeper than I originally realized, and clearly necessitate retraction. 1/

Après Borne, Attal, Barnier et Bayrou, Macron s'apprête donc à nommer un 5e premier ministre en 2 ans et 4 mois, une instabilité dont se plaignent même les décideurs économiques qui ralentissent investissements, projets et embauches. Le prétendu virtuose est perclus d'arthrose.
