The sad thing is, I remember sketching changes in temperature and heavy precip distributions in exactly this way in the early 2000s, just to now watch it play out. The animation very much reminds me of an angry beast pulling on its chains; and they are tearing loose...

Quite a headline.

AI hallucinates because it’s trained to fake answers it doesn’t know. Teaching chatbots to say “I don’t know” could curb hallucinations. It could also break AI’s business model.

After intensive negotiations at #IPCC63, the #IPCC achieved consensus on the outline of its Methodology Report However, yet again the Panel was unable to agree on a workplan for the seventh assessment cycle Read ➡️ enb.iisd.org/intergovernm... #climate #climatechange #AR7

Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs. Would be interesting to do a double blind experiment with humans.

Global methane action pays for itself at least six times over And for fans of GHG metrics: "[...] Lastly, although the best basis for comparing methane and CO2 abatement should be relative social costs, we have found that the convention of using GWP100 is a reasonable approximation."

Current rate of sea level rise is 4.7mm/year (average over past 10 years), more than twice the 20th century average rise. Half a metre by 2100 best estimate if Paris Agreement long-term temperature goal is met - much more if not.

Trump admin: Neoliberalism has failed. We must defend American workers by imposing much higher burdens on international trade International Maritime Organization: You will love our new fee scheme to encourage net-zero global shipping, then Trump: NOT LIKE THAT heatmap.news/climate-tech...

If things were going to plan stuff like this simply wouldn't exist. The goal here is the elimination of fossil fuels, not "lots of batteries" or "lots of solar panels"

The US Academic Alliance for the IPCC (USAA-IPCC) and @agu.org will host webinar TOMORROW at 1pm EST on how to be an expert reviewer for @ipcc.bsky.social reports. Please register & learn how to improve science policy assessments like upcoming Special Report on #ClimateChange and Cities!

Happy to reshare our new Annual Review paper, which explores what it really means to exceed and return to 1.5 °C. For many in the Global South, overshoot isn’t a temporary “phase” but an existential condition. This piece asks what it means for justice, recovery & resilience in a world above 1.5 °C

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

"We find no significant difference between the climate strategies of companies that purchased credits and those that did not. [...] Yet, we document that for large-scale offsetters in the airline industry, carbon credit purchases competed with financing internal decarbonisation measures."

Exactly, political violence isn't bad because the victims are good people, it's bad because it's bad!

Even if you don't vote for your council (pls do but), tick that box for the referendum. It is BINDING for three terms - so if it fails, no Māori ward for nearly a decade. And EVERYONE votes, not just Māori. Tāngata Tiriti step up, Pākehā mā, you need to vote.

The US Administration, champion of sovereignty, vows to punish Brazilians for enforcing Brazilian laws broken by a Brazilian citizen in Brazil.

#climatechange #JobAlert the New Zealand Climate Change Commission, He Pou A Rangi, is looking for a Principal Analyst, Analytics and Economics. Closing 26 September. Scope includes advice on NZ ETS settings, emissions reduction monitoring, and advice on emissions budgets and targets.

We'll cross global warming of 1.5°C in the next 5 years or so - what then? I'll explore the challenges and choices we're facing with climate overshoot in a lecture on 18 September for the Centro Euro-Mediterranneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici www.cmcc.it/lectures_con...

danielle smith, one of david seymour’s buddies and current leader of Alberta, just banned ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ in Alberta schools, and this is the reply from Atwood. #nzpol

great reporting by @desmog.com on Saudi Aramco's strategy to 'future proof' its image, while continuing to massively expand fossil fuel and petrochemical production

It's outstanding that this clear presentation is part of Germany's public broadcaster's daily weather forecast. Long may the stamina last not only of @terliwetter.bsky.social (thank you!) but also those in charge of the @heuteshow.de that enable him to provide this essential public service.

Trump is right that DC is besieged by criminals; they’re in the administration.

What dastardly schemes will this evil council conjure up next in its mission to.... checks notes... stop people getting killed by bad drivers

🧵THREAD on agri-methane and ‘no additional warming’ Why is it so important to reduce methane (CH4) emissions from agriculture in the near term? What happens when countries like #Ireland use ‘no additional warming’ to set climate targets? PAPER: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... (1/18)

Maybe if they stopped pretending everyone is too stupid to read the IUCN report they hide behind they wouldn't have to cry and complain about the criticism they receive?

Very intriguing! Colossal has previously denied any involvement in similar articles www.newscientist.com/article/2490...

I've been getting a lot of requests for comments on the DOE report "A critical review of the impact of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions on the U.S. climate". Here are some initial thoughts. More will come later.

Yeah, I really thought that we passed this level of denier BS. Apparently not.

The InternetNZ AGM falls on Thursday. It's a very consequential one. To secure institution's ability to serve all New Zealanders, members must vote down proposed changes to InternetNZ's constitution by the Free Speech Union (FSU) - published on their website. If passed, InternetNZ won't be the same.

New Zealand Climate Change Commission released its annual emissions monitoring report. We're likely to meet the current first emissions budget, but significant risks to the second budget (2026-2030), and insufficient plans for third budget (2031-2035). Urgent action needed to get back on track #1/2

A first take on today's emissions monitoring report. More to come. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Introduced deer are pests, despite what the government says, and should be part of our predator-free strategy. Deer should not be protected as herds of special interest theconversation.com/despite-the-... @aunz.theconversation.com

As a long time member of InternetNZ, and later ex staff member, the election that’s just opened for voting is as pivotal a moment as the organisation has ever seen. If you’re a member, please vote, on board members and then on some expected AGM motions (which have yet to be announced).

Colossal are likely trying to ‘de-extinct’ the moa by tweaking an emu genome. There’s 62 million years of evolution between an emu and a moa. For context, there’s only 42 MY between humans and howler monkeys. You simply can’t make a human with a GM howler monkey www.newscientist.com/article/2487...

This sounds batsh*t crazy but it's, quite literally, a straightforward & purely factual description of what's going on here

Zanskar, located in the Ladakh region of India's mountain highlands, has felt the full force of glacier retreat. With no access to water, villagers have been abandoning their homes and traditional way of life. @lemonde.fr www.lemonde.fr/en/environme...

There's something darkly amusing about the fact that, in a political atmosphere rife with paranoid xenophobia about China, the GOP is passing a big high-profile bill that amounts to *total surrender to China*.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

pray for climate action instead, Gov.

Sicily is so hot that the region has just issued an ordinance to suspend various types of agricultural and construction activities on hot days to avoid accidents at work. Essentially these activities will be off at 12:30-16:00pm until 31/8. But let’s talk again how expensive climate mitigation is..

And when you hear them saying -- re, say, immigration, or trans people -- "hey the public disagrees with us, what can we do but compromise & retreat?" you know that what they're actually doing is laundering their substantive opinions. They don't *want* to do the work to change opinion on those.
