Spark's new climate funding program announced on Friday will provide support for the land-surface modeling community to get involved with the Warming Induced Greenhouse Gas Emissions Model Intercomparison Project (WIE-MIP) - please take a look and apply!

When the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta captured strange bubbles from a lake in 1776, he couldn’t have imagined the discovery would one day sit at the heart of global climate solutions💡🌍

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

The next frontier is here. America is facing a new set of challenges that demands the latest scientific capabilities to keep us on the cutting edge. To remain competitive, we must protect and fund the research that keeps us ahead. Follow us to stand with American innovation 🇺🇸

Atmospheric methane is still rising fast—even as we make progress cutting human emissions. What’s going on? We break down the leading hypotheses here: 📖 www.sparkclimate.org/article/what... Join our Aug 13 webinar for more 👇

New data show methane levels are rising faster than expected—beyond what human emissions alone can explain. The likely cause? The Earth is getting hotter & nature is starting to emit more and absorb less Spark’s Ben Poulter and Danie Potocek explain: www.sparkclimate.org/article/what...

At least it's now entirely clear what the climate science community is confronted with & I'm encouraged by organizations & individuals continuing to respond in a hopeful and constructive way to ensure science-based responses will provide the path for the long term www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We’re proud to have a stellar team of Scientists at Spark leading this effort: @benpoulter.bsky.social‬, @drmonteverde.bsky.social & Phil Duffy. Working with a great team of collaborators: Brian Buma, Sue Natali, & Rob Jackson

‼️The US-based @ipcc.bsky.social technical support unit (TSU) for Working Group 3 Co-Chairs has been terminated, and the US won’t be attending next week’s IPCC meeting where the AR7 chapter outlines will be approved. More by @afreedma.bsky.social here:

We are alarmed by the Administration’s actions to freeze science funding and eliminate DEI efforts and climate change initiatives, which go against AGU’s mission and harms our members. We must unite to address these changes, beginning by hearing from you. Read more: https://buff.ly/4hm8r4e

Looking forward to my ISSI 2025 visit to have the opportunity to discuss with Earth scientists the role that 'integrated' Earth system remote sensing can play in advancing new indicators for monitoring planetary health!
