Map of the Svalbard region showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in February 2025. Red shading is shown for warmer than average temperatures, and blue shading is shown colder than average temperatures. Anomalies are calculated relative to 1981-2010.

Temperature anomalies exceeded 10Β°C above the 1981-2010 climatological average in February 2025 from Svalbard toward the North Pole! πŸ”₯

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness

Elon Musk survives as fellow of Royal Society despite anger among scientists Questions remain over whether further action will be taken after resignations and calls for the Tesla CEO to be expelled

Are you serious @royalsociety.org?? He is trying to destroy science, spreading dangerous misinformation, inciting violence & your response is to do nothing?

So what’s your purpose then? What do you exist for? Other than being elite?

Melting Antarctic ice will slow the world’s strongest ocean current – and the global consequences are profound Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current down 20% by 2050.

And here is a great piece in The Conversation my colleagues @taimoorsohail.bsky.social and Bishakhdatta Gayen have written on our paper that just got published. theconversation.com/melting-anta... @bjerknes.bsky.social

Our recent work on the possible slowdown of Earth's strongest current due to melting of Antarctic ice sheets, with colleagues @taimoorsohail.bsky.social and Bishakh Gayen, just came out (doi.org/10.1088/1748...). @bjerknes.bsky.social

Shocked by Trump Meeting, Zelensky and Ukraine Try to Forge a Path Forward After President Trump’s rebukes, President Volodymyr Zelensky tried to repair the relationship with his counterpart while also reaching out to European allies.

Extraordinary quote from the German president about Trump/Vance's ambush of Zelensky:

"I would never have believed that we would ever have to defend Ukraine from the United States.”

Opinion | Climate Science Can’t Keep Up With the Warming Planet We need more timely updates in response to the rapid changes to the climate.

We have an opinion piece at the NYT on the need to operationalize some aspects of climate science. πŸ§ͺ

Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly β€” we could be in uncharted territory Taking into account all known factors, the planet warmed 0.2 Β°C more last year than climate scientists expected. More and better data are urgently needed. Taking into account all known factors, the pl...
