We often hear folks skeptical of climate change claim that "the climate is always changing" or "temperatures rise before CO2" or "its the sun". In a new episode of PBS's Weathered, @leafwax.bsky.social and I try and address these questions: www.youtube.com/watc...

Just your regular reminder of where global CO2 emissions are tracking compared to scenarios that keep warming to below 1.5C in 2100, with "no or low overshoot" (maximum temperature around 1.6C). journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... C1/

Obviously complaints about free speech from the right meant their speech. They never cared about the principle.

Fascism is here. The list of words Trump is banning from government is the most stunning document of our time. Click the image below to see how many words Trump and Musk have canceled as part of their new Reich. 🔗: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I am one of these NSF postdocs. NSF has frozen everyone’s access to their salaries and research stipends (that were already awarded) with no information about when they might be expected to be unfrozen. It still appears like we are expected to continue doing our work though.

LA is in a high fire risk region & fire weather conditions are complex. So we @wwattribution.bsky.social looked at many lines of evidence. All show: our burning of fossil fuels increased the likelihood of such extreme fire weather conditions www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

For my first scientific post here, I want to talk about the Phanerozoic temperature record we published last Fall, which unfortunately has been making rounds in the climate denier circuit 👀 First though hopefully you can appreciate the beauty of this reconstruction ✨...

Here's a schematic I published in this 2021 piece to illustrate how even a modest delay in onset of rainy season in Southern California can dramatically amplify wildfire risk by lengthening seasonal overlap between dry vegetation and strong offshore winds during Oct-Jan. #CAfire

Our paper on "Hydroclimate volatility on a Warming Earth" is out in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment. We assess existing scientific literature & conduct new analysis--concluding that "#HydroclimateWhiplash" is increasing due to #ClimateChange. [Thread] www.nature.com/artic...

Remember that we have a Starter Pack for researchers who work(ed) with molecules, such as leaf wax, algal, archaeal, and bacterial lipids and pyrogenic compounds. Featuring but not restricted to #GDGT lovers, #PaleoSky people, geologists ⚒️, and/or (pale)oceanographers 🌊 go.bsky.app/RC38uDF

In case you missed it, our insightful panel discussion on careers outside academia for paleo scientists is on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRjG...

Ever wanted to get just a little bit more out of your lipid extracts when measuring compound specific isotopes? If yes, here's a new paper that might be of interested to you: analyticalsciencejournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... with @amglab.bsky.social

By now, I made three Earth ⚒️ and Marine 🌊 Sciences 🧪 Starter Packs: Paleoenvironmental researchers: bsky.app/starter-pack... Scientific Drilling ( #IODP / #ICDP ) researchers: bsky.app/starter-pack... Marine biogeochemistry researchers: bsky.app/starter-pack... One of them may be interesting.

New publication out today in GRL! 🧪Varves and high-res Holocene Paleoclimate! "Subdecadal Holocene Warm-Season Temperature Variability in Central Europe Recorded by Biochemical Varves" agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... 🧵 below for the nerdy details

"Let's Talk About Career Opportunities Outside Academia" Join the next PAGES ECN webinar this Thursday at 16:00 CET (1400 UTC). All are welcome! Our wonderful panelists will share their reflections on their career paths and answer questions about making the transition to non-academic careers.

New paper alert! Give it a read if you're interested in lipid biomarkers, paleoclimate, lakes and their sediments, Dansgaard-Oeschger events, or climate of the last glacial period. cp.copernicus.org/articles/20/...

Anybody want to play a silly niche paleoclimate game? connectionsplus.io/game/hBVJBu

I love this great new video from PAGES www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GQe...

Here’s a gift link to my @nytimes.com op-ed arguing that because of the tireless work of the policymakers, engineers, activists, and others who listened to the science, we now have a fighting chance for a better world www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/o...

Climate Science people, what do you think of this argument for a hopeful future despite global climate change? From around 1900 to today the earth has experienced about 1-1.5 °C warming on average. (1/n)

Hello new followers! Please repost so we can reach a much wider audience!

My colleague Luyao led this really interesting paper where we compiled lake sediment records of Phosphorus over the past 10000 years. We found evidence of major impacts to the P cycle by humans thousands of years ago. doi.org/10.1016/j.gl... And a nice writeup: www.snf.ch/en/TzU1Cbw6Q...

Plan S revamp. Calls to make papers available immediately and abolish APCs. It begins to look like a preprint-driven system is desired www.nature.com/articles/d41...
