Advocating for climate change action can feel like pushing a boulder up a hill. But the doom and gloom can mean we ignore how far up we’ve climbed. So, I’ve curated a list of 7 positive #climate stories from 2024, one from each of the world’s 7 continents. pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/7-g...

In some areas, the forecast bounced around, but for good reason that @weathermanbarnes.bsky.social and I explained for The Conversation. The reality is weather forecasts are better than ever!

20 years ago, predicting this week’s very hot weather in southeast Australia with precision was unthinkable... Writing in the @theconversation.com, @ailiegallant.bsky.social & @weathermanbarnes.bsky.social explain how forecasting is useful and trustworthy. theconversation.com/australias-l...

Another cyclone bomb, though this time it's careening into Ireland, the UK and western Europe. A 937hPa low expected?! That's insane. Brace yourselves over there!

Heatwaves are imminent over parts of Australia, particularly the south-east. Stay safe, stay cool. Be smart, and check on your loved ones to make sure they stay cool, too.

@nenazarian.bsky.social and I wrote this piece for @natureportfolio.bsky.social on how using seasons when scheduling global events forgets those of us down south It went viral, and resulted in us receiving hate mail, on that other site 🙄 Here’s to a more reasonable discussion in this blue space
