Inspiring book. Lots of wisdom, humbleness and respect for nature as well as local communities and their knowledge. www.hachette.co.uk/titles/david...

Finally published: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal... Hope this paper led by @stefansobo.bsky.social will become the new standard in designing regional climate model ensembles.

The future of climate science is more diverse, more connected, and more collaborative. We need every voice, every perspective, every mind to solve what’s ahead. WCRP is building a climate science community that reflects the world it serves. https://loom.ly/N9MP6_g #TheHeartOfClimateScience #WCRP

As record heat continues to impact communities across the nation, this is what is in that proposed budget: 🌡️ "With this termination, NOAA will no longer support the National Integrated Heat Health Information System" (aka NIHHIS or heat[dot]gov) Page 186: www.noaa.gov/sites/defaul...

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions. GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc. This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth. www.commerce.gov/sites/defaul...

The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season. We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!

Ein beeindruckender und bedrückender Podcast über die Rolle von Peter #Thiel beim Rechtsruck der #USA: www.deutschlandfunk.de/die-peter-th... Ein paar Gedanken zur Diskussion des Podcasts hier auf @bsky.app als Thread.

Der neue österreichische Klimasachstandsbericht #AAR2 - schon beeindruckend, dass ein kleines Land mit einer kleinen Forscher:innen-Community so ein umfassendes und rigoroses Werk auf die Beine stellt. Freue mich, Teil davon zu sein. @ccca.ac.at @wegenercenter.bsky.social

Had an inspiring talk from Dave Stainforth from @granthamlse.bsky.social today at @wegenercenter.bsky.social. What can you learn from models? How to design ensembles? And how to spend our money?

We had a really interesting talk by Mathias Rotach from @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social here at @wegenercenter.bsky.social. He showed us the complexity in modeling the mountain boundary layer, and that it is still a long way to robustly represent climate change in local mountain valleys.

When walking through the forest searching for Salamanders I thought for some seconds that nature doesn't really care about what we and politicians and Trump are doing. But while this is correct, the idea of nature as an untouched idyll is dangerously wrong and misleading kitsch.

Just got mine. Totally expected, but it still sucks. Probably the most for all the work that so many of us put in on behalf of US taxpayers that is now wasted and will never come to fruition.

Leider so stark gekürzt, dass man nur - und nur teilweise - erahnen kann, was unter robuster Information verstanden wird.

Jenseits der im Artikel geäußerten Kritik an Klöckner sollte die Frage legitim sein, ob ein Tempolimit nicht einen kleinen aber relevanten Beitrag zur Bewahrung der Schöpfung leisten kann, dieses Thema also auch aus Klöckners Sicht eines für die Kirche sein könnte.

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/ @nwas.org: bit.ly/4cz2RtC

Europe is fastest warming continent noted in @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social report & greenhouse gas heating +changing wind patterns are driving excess warming, particularly in winter, while less solar shading from declining aerosol particle pollution is adding to summer warmth: doi.org/10.1038/s416...

I have complained about both of my alma maters frequently so I want to share praise where praise is due. I'm proud of Harvard for finding their backbone. It's a big deal because everyone else looks to them. And godspeed to them in fighting this shakedown bullshit from the Trump administration.

Yep, I still don't think people realize how dire the situation actually is internally...

Are you an internationally-minded researcher? We just opened the 2025 call for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Staff Exchanges: 🔹 12-month secondments for knowledge & skills exchange 🔹 €97.7 million for some 85 research projects 🔹 International collaboration in innovation Apply by 8 October!

Powerful statement from the #ColumbiaUniversity chapter of #AAUP. What is happening at my alma matter is heartbreaking. While I empathize with Columbia's leadership and the position they find themselves itself in, one cannot confront a challenge if one cannot, or will not, articulate the threat.

It’s the first-ever #WorldGlaciersDay! Glaciers are critical to life, yet climate changes causes them to disappear at an alarming rate. #ClimateAction is key to protecting them & supporting those who rely on glaciers. www.un.org/en/observanc...

Free speech as valued by the US administration! AI has probably already screened social media accounts. Not to waste money I should probably not even try to travel to meetings in the US in the coming years? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

Als ich vor 30 Jahren in Ulm zu studieren anfing, war der damalige Direktor ein Lautsprecher und Kurzdenker. Wollte den globalen Wandel mit einer Reduktion der Weltbevölkerung auf 2 Milliarden bekämpfen. Das Mindset scheint heute noch das gleiche zu sein.

Lesenswert gerade jetzt, wo Vertrauen in die Wissenschaft erodiert. Beim Thema postnormaler Wissenschaft sind Teile der Klimaforschung im Einbinden von gesellschaftlichen Akteuren übrigens Vorbild für andere Naturwissenschaften. www.zeit.de/2025/11/wiss... www.zeit.de/2025/11/silv...

Zynisch: Den "System"- oder "Mainstreammedien" wurde vorgeworfen zu zensieren. Jetzt gibt die Rechte offen zu, dass das gelogen war (Bezos: "There was a time when a newspaper [...] sought to cover all views") und zensiert selbst radikal. Meinungsfreiheit a la JD Vance. www.zeit.de/2025/11/mein...

The people who produce this Mauna Loa atmospheric CO₂ record have a lab in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, about 50 miles (80 km) from the observatory. By closing the lab, it'll be really difficult to maintain the CO₂ observations.

Since writing this article, I have received messages from federal civil servants who tell me it is accurate, and that they are frightened. Please share this with anyone who doesn't understand the scale of the transformation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Dear colleagues from the US & Argentina (and beyond)! Fancy a secure job on climate hazards in a welcoming and aspiring institute? Where the government values your work? Consider applying for our senior scientist position @wegenercenter.bsky.social, just between the mountains and the Mediterranean!

Reveals a lot about the maturity of the new US administration. They are like the worst caricature of a dumb, narrow minded and angry right wing populist government - "just" with real power.

Do you remember the floods caused by Bernd (Germany, Belgium 2021), Boris (Central Europe 2024) or the Gota Fría (Spain, 2024)? We show that such storms will become more frequent esp. in Spring @wegenercenter.bsky.social @ncas-uk.bsky.social @reinhardkh.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
