Two exciting postdoc positions available! Historical windstorms - working with two insurance companies to explore UK wind risks: jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... Extreme event storylines - working as part of a EU collaboration on event attribution: jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

So, I hate to be this guy, but as the director of Yale’s new program on attribution science (!?), uh, most of the commentary on Bluesky about Hurricane Melissa and climate change has been… not quite right

This is a good corrective to the BS narrative flowing through the Pielke/AEI/NYP/EID/DOE nexus. Their argument is designed so that we can never ever attribute extreme events to emissions - even singular events that would have *never* [for some suitable finite approximation] have happened before.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Eine sehr verdiente Auszeichnung für eine herausragende Wissenschaftlerin und ausgezeichnete Mentorin!

I had an engagement with blogger, failed California gubernatorial candidate, and self-identified reporter Michael Shellenberger this past week, which started out being about this new paper being heralded by climate skeptics as disproving global sea-level acceleration. (LONG 🧵)

Our new study on how large floods will change in Europe under climate change, led by @bfang.bsky.social, with @bevacquae.bsky.social

🏅Outstanding Publication! What if #ExtremeFloods are driven by compounding factors? Using #LightGBM + #SHAP to quantify how rainfall, soil moisture, snowpack & temperature interact, this study reveals "The Secret Network of Extreme Floods" 🔗: https://scads.ai/the-secret-network-of-extreme-floods/

To what extent does human-induced climate change contribute to global extreme wildfires? In our latest study, we quantified the contribution of human-induced climate change to over 700 observed extreme wildfires globally. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

On International Firefighters’ Day, happy to share our latest research about challenges in international firefighting cooperation due to increasing fire weather season overlap between Australia and North America. doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Transdisciplinary coordination is essential for advancing agricultural modelling with machine learning. The opportunities are great, but to avoid pitfalls, we need to establish benchmarks, evaluation criteria and best practices. Our perspective: www.cell.com/one-earth/fu... @cp-oneearth.bsky.social

1,5 Grad-Schwelle möglicherweise dauerhaft überschritten#Klimawandel#Erderwärmung #1,5Grad

People may not understand just how important federal science research funding is to the prosperity of the nation. I tried to explain it, because it's under unprecedented and direct assault.

Das 1,5-Grad-Ziel ist gefährdet, wie aktuelle Berechnungen zeigen. Trotzdem rät Klimaforscher Emanuele Bevacqua, daran festzuhalten: Noch sei es möglich, die Erderwärmung zu verlangsamen.

Was der Klimawissenschaftler Emanuele Bevacqua sagt. Wäre doch mal schön, wenn wir dazu eine Talkshow hätten, oder @zdfde.bsky.social ?

In Nature Climate Change, we show that a year above 1.5 °C signals that Earth is most probably within the 20-year period that will reach the Paris Agreement limit. @natclimchange.bsky.social

Excellent thread on our new paper in Nature Climate Change on what a year above 1.5°C means for the Paris Agreements lower temperature target

🚨 We’ll soon be hiring a 3-year postdoc to join our Leipzig lab on climate discourses 🌍🔍 Our Working group bridges #NLP, social science, and environmental research to explore how climate change, public discourse & political action interact. Stay tuned! @marckeuschnigg.bsky.social

I'm currently advertising for 2 post-doc positions: (1) role of natural climate variability in modulating climate projections (2) developing a weather generator for UK and Ireland for climate projections - jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastl...

Redrawing the global warming stripes. In a new paper led by Sebastian Sippel published in Nature today, we show that the early 20th century global ocean surface temperatures and thereby global mean surface temperature were warmer than previously thought. Thread... (1/13)

Today, @carbonbrief.org has published the latest, and most comprehensive, update to our interactive map of extreme weather attribution. The redesigned map now includes almost 750 extreme events and trends from more than 600 studies. interactive.carbonbrief.org/attribution-... THREAD 1/10

📢Global Carbon Budget 2024📢 Despite some predicting a peak in global fossil CO2 emissions, we estimate growth of 0.8% [-0.3% to 1.9%] in 2024. Maybe a peak next year? Is it all bad news, or can we find some good news? essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... 1/

We Europeans need to practice survival in a rapidly changing climate - my opinion piece, focussed on Spain, but could equally have been written 3 years ago after the deadly floods in Germany . We've not learned enough & that costs lives and livelihoods. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A preprint I’ve been working on together with Olivier Pasche, Zhongwei Zhang, @zscheischlerjak.bsky.social, and Sebastian Engelke is out: arxiv.org/abs/2404.17652. We compared ML-based weather models and ECMWF’s HRES in case studies on 3 recent high-impact extreme events! Summary & a few thoughts 🧵👇

I have a commentary in Nature on our disquieting inability to work out why 2023 was so warm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
