Admirable job by what must be @eaterofsun.bsky.social bringing together the ongoing mystery of the surge in absorbed sunlight on Earth. CERES, pattern effects, ECS -- oh my.

Predictability of the monsoon, & weather in general, is no less crucial for farmers than the rainfall itself. This is why weather advisory services provided to farmers free-of-cost were crucial. But Modi govt terminated such services #ElNiño An earlier investigation: article-14.com/post/farm-we...

"Instead of analysing future #climate as a sequence of quasi-equilibria — as a system that will settle when the world stops emitting carbon — researchers must treat it as an unstable system that is reorganizing while society tries to phase out carbon-based energy." - @alevermann.bsky.social

One important caveat: the models have never been verified in this territory. They have real, demonstrated skill at this lead time for ordinary events, but no ensemble has ever forecast a 3.5C El Niño because one has never happened. We are both figuratively and literally in uncharted waters.

With all the July model runs now in, it is very likely that 2026 will see the largest El Niño event since records began in the late 1800s – and potentially by a truly mind-blowing margin. The median estimate is now 3.6C, roughly 0.8C hotter than the prior record (2.75C). www.theclimatebrink....

Seems we're at that stage of solutions-that-do-not-work-at-scale where we call Enhanced Rock Weathering "fundamentally a farming practice". ERW is a carbon dioxide removal technique www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Good for India. There is all too much sloppiness, even amongst scientists who know better, about so-called "tipping points." Too much hype, too little precision, but meanwhile the much more certain and predictable inexorable march of global warming is plenty dangerous enough to justify action.

Nice explainer, though article is behind a paywall. 'Tipping Point' is a very ambiguous term. It is hard to define mathematically (concepts like stability or multiple equilibria are used). Though, 'Tipping Point' is an easy & catchy term, therefore used & abused!

At Bonn climate talks, India urged "care and clarity" (as per ENB) in how the term 'tipping points' is used. European Union muddied the waters by raising concerns about misinformation. Tried unpacking the science of tipping points, what we know and what we do not www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/ene...

Did a Masters of sustainable energy at UQ in 2017-2018 and I confirm that wedges and CCS and gas as a transition fuel and fossil fuels gave us so much were ever present. Entire units dedicated to them and an expectation that our assignments gave them a place of honour.

The frame for how we talk about climate solutions has been so narrow for so long...industry wanted it that way and found researchers who shared their vision. Incredible reporting from @themadstone.bsky.social here, with an assist from me and @katieworth.bsky.social.

Interesting. After hosting a press conference at Bonn climate talks to "defend the science", European governments seek to divert green investment funds towards fossil fuels in the midst of a historic heatweave

Doubt how many people know this: there is no amount of "steep cuts" that can limit warming to 1.5° when the world is at 1.4°C and the difference is close to margin of error. This is the sad state we are in because of 34 years of inaction

Call for papers Climate and weather hazards rarely occur in isolation. Their compounding and cascading impacts are reshaping risk landscapes and exposing gaps in how societies forecast, communicate, and prepare.

This article contains misinformation. It says India tried to "discredit" IPCC because a paper on inequitable mitigation scenarios was not included in AR6. But India's argument was never that AR6 did not include the paper. It was simply that the scenarios assessed by IPCC in AR6 were inequitable

“Norway Presses EU to Drop Ban on #Arctic Drilling of #Oil and #Gas” Despite cultivating a “green” global image, #Norway has emerged as one of the most vocal advocates of rapidly-expanded #fossilfuel production, whatever the #climate or environmental costs. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

In journalism school, we teach that context matters. But, like so much of the Western media, AFP forgets that lesson whenever Israel is involved. Missing context: These four Israeli soldiers were killed in Lebanon, where they were part of an illegal Israeli occupation of a sovereign country.

India's stance on 1.5°C. The impossibility of it & the ridiculous reliance on CDR to bring temperatures back down for overshoot scenarios. Ballpark CDR figure is 200GtCO2 for 0.1°C. Please take a moment to think what 200GtCO2 means. Current annual emissions are 42GtCO2 drilled.media/news/cop30-g...

I feel like I wrote about this exact issue ten years ago.. still relevant I guess doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

There is a misconception among a lot of climate folk, especially at Bonn right now that equity means less climate action. Not true, actually. It just means far higher effort from *all* countries distributed more equitably www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

You can point to forecasts that this will magically change — in 2026, when clean energy is a fraction of the cost, and after the biggest-ever disruption of LNG markets — but then consider some former forecasts:

People are still underestimating how much the prospects of LNG growth in Asia are totally busted. Even setting aside the Hormuz factor, the economics are just brutal: 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

cc: European negotiators and European journalists at Bonn who chose to frame equity-based critiques of IPCC-assessed mitigation scenarios in AR6 as attempts by countries like India to 'discredit the IPCC' and 'the science'

📢A milestone in India is reached: At the end of May, the total renewables generation *capacity* (excluding large hydro) passed that of coal (including lignite) for the first time. This is important, but it's also important to remember that about 70% of India's *generation* is still from coal.

On a related note, the EU, along with Switzerland, held a press conference today at Bonn climate talks to defend 1.5°C. Lots of countries are not on track to meet either their own commitments (NDCs) or what is necessary for even targets like 2°C. But only some boldly proclaim alignment with science

The real reason Mark Carney wants to build so many AI data centres? @jenstden.bsky.social and I report on internal govt documents explaining one of the top 'public policy benefits to Canada' of data centres is they 'provide markets' for gas producers. www.desmog.com/2026/06/11/m... @desmog.com

I think giving people an idea of how to reduce their own emissions is a positive thing, but the overall problem is fundamentally one that requires SYSTEM CHANGE, and making it seem like it is solely the individual's responsibility is ultimately counterproductive.

This is one of the most important benefit of the carbon budget framing, because it naturally leads to a discussion of equity and historical responsibility. Allocation is an explicitly political process, and the budget makes these choices explicit.

I really liked Jeff's thread, but as one of the early originators of the carbon footprint concept, I want to address this misconception because I've heard it often.
