🚨New paper on heatwaves in a net zero world 🚨 In our study, led by @sarahinscience.bsky.social, we find that the intensity, length and frequency of heatwaves do not return to pre-industrial levels under net zero - and in many regions barely improve at all. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Our research on the emissions & projected impacts of new fossil fuel projects has been making news this week. Joined by my co-authors @andrewkingclimate.bsky.social @raindrop-herder.bsky.social, we take a deeper look on the latest episode of Totally Cooked. Available wherever you get your podcasts

For so long, fossil fuel projects have said their contribution to climate change is "negligible". Turns out that's wrong. Our research in NPJ Climate Action proves it. Every tonne of CO2 matters. @21stcenturyweather.bsky.social @minderoo.bsky.social #climatechange www.nature.com/articles/s44...

It's mother's day here in Australia. 🇦🇺 Here's my wish-list, according to my 8 year old. She's not wrong 😂🥰

HUGE sigh of relief here in Australia! We've said NO to the conservatives. Actually, not just no, we've given them the middle finger and ran as fast as we could in the opposite direction. There's no way they'll win now. Even Dutton lost his seat....GOOOOOONE!! Byeeeee, Felicia 👋

6yo:"mum did you go to university?" Me [thinking this is my moment to shine & discuss how women can achieve great things]: "yes. I have the highest level of education! Its called a PhD!" 6yo: "who is the tallest person at your work?" Clearly we're not quite ready for this type of conversation yet 😂

Yet another beautiful and warm yet highly unseasonal day here in Canberra. Normally by now we've had frost, with chilly nights and mornings. There's a saying here that you should not your heater on before ANZAC day (April 25). Snowballs chance in hell of heaters being turned on early this year ☀️🌡😕

A few weeks ago I gave a presentation at the NASEM workshop on impact attribution. At 7.30am local time, clashing perfectly with getting 3 kids out the door. My middle one joined me and no doubt provided some entertainment for everyone. she loved pulling faces in the camera!

far out, Dutton. WHHHHYYYYYY are we STILL having this conversation in **2025**? C'mon, Australia. Vote wisely this election #climatechange #climatewars #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Jha et al. assess 2024 extreme land heat, finding: - Many record-shattering events globally - >150 heatwave days in large swathes of S. America www.nature.com/articles/s43... (rdcu.be/ehobs) @roshanjha.bsky.social, @climatechirper.bsky.social per.bsky.social, @sarahinscience.bsky.social [8/n]

Gorgeous (but unseasonal and a bit concerning) weather in Canberra - high 20's for days on end. This should be a dream for generating home solar, but due to the grid not coping with so much of it, our system shuts down for hours on end. Infuriating to see so much clean energy literally go to waste.

I'm **SUPER** excited to share the social media links for @21stcenturyweather.bsky.social: ticktok & insta: 21centuryweather website: www.21centuryweather.org.au linkedin: www.linkedin.com/company/21st... come and check out all the AMAZING science we're doing!

remember this going into the election - Dutton peddles bullshit about what's possible with renewable energy. The REAL issue is that there's more solar in many suburbs than what the grid can handle, so many home units have to shut down, wasting a shitload. We lose up to 30KWh/day because of this.

thank f**k, a small blessing, let's hope it lasts.....

So I've not been all that active on SM lately. Partly other work responsibilities, partly (lack of) time, partly there's SO MUCH going on in the world ATM and it's a bit much for my ADHD brain. How's everyone else going? how are we feeling? is there anything giving you positive vibes ATM pls share!

“Same shit, different year” says @sarahinscience.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

From me - Australia records hottest 12-month period on record going back to 1910, capped by hottest March. Reaction from ANU climate scientist @sarahinscience.bsky.social was.. colourful.

Water has been CRAZY hot off WA recently l. So many marine ecosystems are in drastic danger when #marineheatwaves like this one occurs. We'll know the impacts in due course. Brace yourselves- they won't be good.

A dire sign we're permanently crossing heat tolerance thresholds. Climate change will make this far worse, I am certain. We must work harder to reduce emissions, but that is no longer enough. It is imperative we also adapt. Thanks to Tom Matthews for leading this piece @natclimchange.bsky.social

Watch out canberrans. Incoming heatwave. In fact, it's going to hit huge chunks of northern and eastern Australia. Stay cool, everyone 🥵☀️🌡 www.weatherzone.com.au/news/canberr...

CONGRATS to @drkimclimate.bsky.social, @ailiegallant.bsky.social, Moninya Rohan, @hcleugh.bsky.social, and Mary Voice for respective @amosupdates.bsky.social prizes and fellows! VERY well deserved, and amazing to see such awesome women be recognized for their hard work & dedication #womeninscience

Prepare the letter! (written by a different Andy, but i'm happy with the co-incidence)

Can confirm that the recent humidity has ben horrendous. Even in non-coastal Canberra.

For our last Changing Climate article of the year we had a chat with @sarahinscience.bsky.social about what climate change means for the future of extreme weather events You can read the article here 👉​ www.monash.edu/mcccrh/proje...

Today I introduced The Wizard of Oz to my girls. I LOVED this movie as a kid. The tornado amazed & terrified me. Was my earliest introduction to the awe of weather. While in the tornado, Dorothy says "we must be inside the cyclone" 🤦‍♀️ Now i don't think I can view the movie the same again 😅

Other than getting my location wrong, I think that blueskyroast.com was on the mark for me 😅 Thanks for the rec, @ailiegallant.bsky.social

Thought provoking article on tipping points by @bobkopp.net et al. There is uncertainty around the effects of specific warming thresholds, but what is well-established is that it is worth avoiding every bit of warming that we can. rdcu.be/d2gBC

From this month, our bureau of Meteorology is reducing their fortnightly climate outlooks. No El Nino/la Nina dial. No surveying international models on future ENSO conditions. No fortnightly climate driver updates. All part of "streamlining". I call bullshit.

The Bureau's National climate summary for Spring was released today - and was the warmest on record. www.bom.gov.au/climate/curr...

Great writeup from ABC News on Australia's extreme heat risks. #auspol #climate Our new research identifies the locations around Australia in which the greatest number of vulnerable people will be affected by extreme heat. Find out more: australiainstitute.org.au/report/vulne...

Excellent plenary by @sarahinscience.bsky.social to kick off The International Environmetrics Society Conference 2024 here in Tarntanya/Adelaide. Excited to learn about environment & ecology stats, spend time with old friends and make new ones! #TIES2024

The latest CLEX briefing note co-authored by CCRC scientists: Is the Climate Changing Faster than Expected? The evidence is clear: the impacts of global warming are increasing, and to reduce them, we require a deep and rapid cut in greenhouse gas emissions. climateextremes.org.au/is-the-clima...

Oh, @21stcenturyweather.bsky.social, you have never looked so good! 😂 My daughters loved decorating my laptop today 🥰

Come do a PhD with Channing Prend and myself! The project will use seal data and models to understand Antarctic Slope Current dynamics. Based in Edinburgh, UK, but with opportunities for time in Australia also. e4-dtp.ed.ac.uk/e5-dtp/super... 🌊

Looking forward to attending the #HEAL2024 hub event in lutruwita today! www.croakey.org/as-temperatu...

Australia must retain sovereign capability to produce climate change projections (i.e permanent funding for the Aus climate model, ACCESS) to give us a fighting chance at tackling the worst of climate change. I'm hoping this will be one of the key recommendations. www.science.org.au/news-and-eve...
