Our monthly review of the coverage of the major bibliographic databases (January 2026). We excluded Xueshu Baidu and FatCat and duplicated the OpenAlex info and added PubMed, a relevant IA source

I love weather and I love maps. So when there is an incoming snow storm it is interesting for me to see how different news agencies are mapping the event. Here are examples from @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com. Any others you've seen that work well (or don't)? Links threaded below:

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand) Results: Last week: 100% RE Last 230 weeks: 98.6% RE (1/5)

#Cartography friends — anyone know where to find a nice scan of Peucker’s “Höhenschichtenkarten. Studien und Kritiken zur Lösung des Flugkartenproblems” (“Layered Relief Maps. Studies and Critiques towards the Solution of the Problem of Aeronautical Charts”)?

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2025) The last 3 years really jump out, rather like 2015-6 did when we first produced this graphic back then. Now, 2015-6 looks rather cool... More on the spiral: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

Most 2025 global temperatures are now out (degrees C above 1850-1900 baseline) 1.41 HadCRUT5 1.44 Berkeley 1.46 JRA-3Q 1.47 Copernicus 1.53 DCENT-I NOAA and NASA GISS values will be public at 2pm UK time and but based on already public Jan-Nov data they will likely be between 1.3 and 1.4 degC.

NEW – Q&A: What Trump’s US exit from UNFCCC and IPCC could mean for climate action | @daisydunne.carbonbrief.org @mollylempriere.carbonbrief.org @orladwyer.carbonbrief.org @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social @rtmcswee.carbonbrief.org Read here: buff.ly/Mkjsh61

China has now reacted to the news that the Trump White House wants to pull the US out of a range of UN orgs and entities, such as the UNFCCC and IPCC: "No matter how the situation may evolve, China will stay committed to multilateralism" www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/xw/fyrbt...

📢 Our 2025 climate responsibility report is out! Taking responsibility for your organisation’s emissions means more than just measuring them. It requires #transparency, #reduction, & #accountability. That’s why we apply our climate responsibility approach. Read the report ➡️ bit.ly/4srKa2N

The ESM forcing files for #CMIP7 #ScenarioMIP are now up on the Earth System Grid for the two advanced-priority scenarios High (H) and Very Low (VL). CMIP7 H is significantly lower emissions than CMIP6's SSP585 - and VL has more radical near-term decarbonisation than anything we had in CMIP6.

The UNFCCC underpins global climate action. It brings countries together to support climate action, reduce emissions, adapt to climate change, and track progress. The decision by the world’s largest economy and second-largest emitter to retreat from it is regrettable and unfortunate.

Weather data and basemaps are famously hard to procure in 2025, glad to see AI being used in solving previously unsolvable problems. How did we manage for so long.

I'm excited to announce the official Nullschool app is here! earth.nullschool.net on mobile browsers works fine, but the app is nicer. Full screen display, persistence across sessions, text size that matches device settings. Even landscape works well. And, like the website: no ads! Links below ⬇️

Here's a suggestion for a New Year's resolution: If you see influential bad research, say something. One part of the whole replication crisis story is that a lot of psychological researchers privately knew that a lot of stuff was bad, but it wasn't discussed publicly.

Was there a massive leak of a dangerous greenhouse gas in Iceland🇮🇸 in 2011-or was it a data📈 reporting error? Emission databases show that the Norðurál aluminium factory🏭 released 60 tons of SF₆ in 2011 — but no such emissions in any other year. 🔌💡 industrydecarbonization.com/news/errors-... 🧵
