i mean if we want to talk about ludicrously unlikely scenarios SSP1-1.9 is RIGHT THERE

but wait, a self appointed knowledge broker (an honest one, I was helpfully informed) once told me this was the greatest scandal in climate science since all the other scandals

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

1,468 people walking or cycling were killed or seriously injured in Dublin between 2016–2024. This is a political choice. Safer, better cycle lanes, lower speed limits, and proper enforcement would save lives. We know what works. Source: Road Safety Authority collision statistics, 2016–2024.

After discovering a recent article about LLMs fabricating analyses from nonexistent data (arxiv.org/abs/2603.21687), I did an experiment with our new lab-sanctioned chatbot. Well, here’s the result (in case that’s not clear, I never actually uploaded any grades-intro-cs.xlsx file).

Amazing speed from the teams in Uganda and the DRC - impressive! Three genomes released so far - a few quick takes: 1️⃣ New genomes ~equidistant from 2007 and 2012 outbreaks. 2️⃣ Represents new spillover from reservoir. 3️⃣ Limited diversity, so too early to speculate on timing. Great work ⭐!

The post-eruption road to Moana Loa Observatory reopened two months ago -- but the bigger deal is NOAA publicly recommitting to the previous planned renovations. This is home to the famous Keeling Curve measuring CO2 rise, of course.

Congratulations @lionel-swan.bsky.social on your first retrospective attribution study focusing on the abnormally warm and dry summer of 2018!

Our first retrospective study on SUMMER 2018 has been released (check the link below!). Key findings: high temperatures experienced during June and July have become warmer and more frequent due to anthropogenic climate change, however, the climate change influence on low precipitation is less clear.

We often push back against car drive-thrus in cities, but I had never considered the idea of a bike-thru until now. It’s a brilliant way to help small businesses populate dense urban areas while completely removing the heavy burden of car parking minimums.

@jmkorhonen.fi is this you? 😁 It's a great quote...

It’s easy to believe these people are just stupid, but it’s not that simple. It’s more like a religious belief, where they will accept any statement that aligns with their beliefs, and the more you try and convince them otherwise, the more they believe you’re part of the conspiracy.

Very interesting new study by WWA, co-authored by our postdoc. It shows how climate change is increasing pre-monsoon heat in India and Pakistan. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

Back in 2012 we did a figure comparing historical emissions to previous generations of emission scenarios. rdcu.be/brDGx Surprisingly, the figure is still doing the rounds. We update it every year, with many interesting changes primarily due to revisions in land-use change emissions. 1/

“Those promoting the rush for hyperscale AI datacentres seem to be living in a parallel reality where the last 50 years of climate science hasn’t happened” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

Well, Mac, I think that's probably because at 200 decibels, sound is no longer sound, but instead becomes a shock wave. So while you *could* have an emergency siren with a hypothetical volume of 194 decibels, the loudest possible sound in the atmosphere, it would be the *cause* of the emergency.

A reminder that Nick is a bit unclear about what is and isn't illegal.

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

⚠️ This outbreak deserves a higher level of attention than the Hanta virus but it won't get it. Those affected now are poor communities living in remote parts of Africa. There is a direct correlation between the shutdown of USAID and the fact that the latest outbreak wasn't announced until Friday.

Saying this will come back to haunt him. Unless he insists he meant it literally: that the Metrolink project would not result in tje construction of a children's hospital.

I however found this comment, which was a rare opposition and conveys a hard and rather more realistic account of the long term effects of cars on rural Ireland, and is a well written example that parallels my own feelings on the changes brought by car dependency in the place where I grew up.

Bundibugyo ebolavirus outbreak in the DRC and Uganda has been declared a PHEIC by the WHO. The highest alert lever it has. This requires swift a and multinational response. Estimated death count is already 80! No vaccine, no rapid diagnostic tests. www.science.org/content/arti...

For years the Gardaí refused my requests for information on the type of road users injured in accidents in Galway. It was a nonsense GDPR answer. This infomation is now available on the RSA website at www.rsa.ie/road-safety/... Not surprising that most serious injuries are to pedestrians.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

How do we know old Antarctic ice is old? Got a few minutes? Atmospheric argon isotope dating: a process discovered last century here at UMN (Al Nier) & perfected by scientists at Princeton (Bender). This is COLDEX science funded by NSF and conducted in university communities nationwide.

According to oil analysts, the world is about to exhaust its standing oil reserves, at which point the demand destruction from the strait closure will bite relatively suddenly, oil will shoot up as much as 2X, & we could very well enter a second Great Depression. Look around. Do we seem ready?

People cannot be asked to keep an issue hot, especially not one as complex and at the core technical like climate change, if the top information ecosystem is actively telling them *not* to mobilize. Climate policy is objectively hard, but the climate "backlash" is mostly an elite-driven phenomenon.

In case you want to know why the fossil industry is so adamant about "critical" minerals, and the importance of not "rushing" into batteries because, look, that lithium mine really needs to meet all ethic standards the fossil industry itself never has...

"For droughts in global key breadbasket regions, precipitation extremes over highly populated areas and fire weather extremes across forests, global climatic impact-drivers at 2 °C of global warming may turn out to be much more extreme than model-averaged projections at 3 °C or 4 °C warming."

The world travels by horse. It did when my great grandparents were born and it did when they were my age and it did when they died … oh wait no. They had a car by the time they were my age.

On Dublin’s quays, people cycling are expected to cross three lanes of traffic just to continue straight. A perfect example of what not to do if you want to encourage cycling. Motorists are kings; people cycling and walking are treated as second-class citizens.

All the car parks to the supermarkets and hyper markets in this area are done. Plus quite a few much smaller parking areas. All new agricultural buildings have solar panel roofs as well.
