The push for open access (which turned out to be 'Gold'), first from the grassroots and then top down from governments, has created a situation where big publishers now feel they can (and do) charge outlandish APCs. That $ could more than pay for a graduate student stipend for an entire summer. 1/

🔥 New paper out in Science Advances We detect a clear externally forced signal in the global increase of extreme fire weather days since 1980. Using reanalyses and CMIP6 simulations, the fingerprint of change emerges above natural variability. 📄 doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Extreme fire weather days are increasing worldwide. Since 1979, days with FWI > p95 have risen globally, closely tracking global warming. More heat → more fire-conducive conditions.

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies. www.ft.com/content/ac77...

Un niño ugandés que fue apadrinado por una familia australiana, que lo apoyó hasta que se convirtió en médico. 36 años después se encuentran. El video es conmovedor. La solidaridad, fraternidad, gratitud y la empatía, siguen siendo los valores que nos hacen humanos. Todavía quedan personas así. 😍👇👏

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

This is an interesting result, but we argued in a paper last year that North Pacific jet trends are not inconsistent with observed low frequency variability. A southward trend ended just as the satellite era began. Patterson & O'Reilly, GRL, (2025) agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing. they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors. their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen. their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

The Vietnamese Bach Ma Mountain Peak station recorded one-day rainfall of 1,739 mm - close to the global one-day record and perhaps a new record for the northern hemisphere. It is part of a deluge Viet Nam has seen in October, shattering 35 precip records. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/en...

This is a common finding when studying drought in the recent instrumental record and in future projections: much more change in metrics that include the impacts of warming (on vapor-pressure deficit and potential evapotranspiration) when compared to changes in precipitation alone.

📣 Summer low flows decreased in Germany in the last 5 decades and increases in evapotranspiration played a role in that, esp in less humid areas. For more details & analyses, check out our new paper: hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/... @igb-berlin.de @slfdavos.bsky.social @hyclimm.bsky.social

🌙 Tampoco hubo respiro por la noche. 🌡️ Este mapa refleja cómo las temperaturas mínimas de junio de 2025 también fueron extraordinariamente altas en la península y Baleares. 🔝 Se trata del mes de junio más caluroso en el periodo estudiado 1960-2025.

😥 Este mapa de junio de 2025 habla por sí solo. 🌡️ Muestra las zonas de España peninsular y Baleares donde las temperaturas máximas diarias superaron los percentiles 90 y 95, e incluso batieron récords históricos, en relación con los registros de cada día natural desde 1960.

Happy to share our new paper: we show that human-caused climate change is raising the odds of extreme climate-driven fire years across forested regions of the globe @climate-guy.bsky.social @pyrogeog.bsky.social rdcu.be/evJkX #ClimateChange #Wildfires

New study w/ @climate-guy.bsky.social ! Increased evaporative demand due to climate change has increased crop irrigation demand; in the Central Valley, this additional irrigation demand is equivalent to ~11% of the region's observed groundwater loss. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

"Cada vez son más los estudios que demuestran que las comunidades vegetales y suelos sanos contribuyen al ciclo hídrico y a enfriar las temperaturas a escala local y regional, mientras que la degradación del suelo puede provocar sequías y temperaturas más altas."

How much would weather forecasts gain from more in-situ observations in some countries? Experiments we have carried out for the UN’s Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) show that the benefits would be significant.

This video illustrates the "levante" phenomenon on the Rock of Gibraltar. The "levante" is an east wind carrying moisture from the Mediterranean. When it encounters the rock's steep terrain, it rises, cools, and condenses, creating clouds, mist, and fog. 📹 Met Office Gibraltar

Precipitation extremes increase with global warming faster than 7%/degree Celsius rate (related to atmosphere's growing capacity for moisture) due to shift from lower-intensity rainfall from sheet clouds to higher-intensity convective rainfall based on European observations: doi.org/10.1038/s415...
