Inspiring book. Lots of wisdom, humbleness and respect for nature as well as local communities and their knowledge. www.hachette.co.uk/titles/david...

Hope this paper led by @stefansobo.bsky.social will become the new standard in designing regional climate model ensembles.

Was sagen eigentlich die Poschardts dieser Welt zu dieser Entwicklung? Ist das jetzt nur Disruption? Oder gilt da Meinung ist was ich sage, alles andere ist Hate Speech?

It should be: trust the scientific method. It will in most cases lead to much better results. This is a subtly different way of communication - honest, not arrogant - and may generate trust rather than scepticism.

The future of climate science is more diverse, more connected, and more collaborative.
We need every voice, every perspective, every mind to solve what’s ahead.
WCRP is building a climate science community that reflects the world it serves.

After 7 Decades of Measurements From a Peak in Hawaii, Trump’s Budget Would End Them

www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/c...

As record heat continues to impact communities across the nation, this is what is in that proposed budget: 🌡️

"With this termination, NOAA will no longer support the National Integrated Heat Health Information System" (aka NIHHIS or heat[dot]gov)

Excerpt from proposed NOAA budget showing zero funding for Climate Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.

GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc.

This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season.
We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!

Den @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy Autoren Rassismus vorzuwerfen (sie zeigen die Geschichte der Wokeness nicht, wo es doch um den Punkt geht, dass in der aktuellen Debatte viele Menschen, links & rechts, glauben, dass die großen Probleme unter den Tisch fallen) geht am eigentlichen Thema vorbei.

Nein - der Autor ist kein naiver Bewunderer von Thiel, sondern zeigt nur die Faszination auf, die von ihm für viele ausgeht. Wenn Welt-Herausgeber und viele junge Männer heute glauben, die Zerstörung von Institutionen sei etwas tolles, muss das doch herausgearbeitet werden.

Doch - Peter Thiel ist äußerst intelligent. Das macht ihn, zusammen mit seiner libertären Einstellung und den Ideen einer bevorstehenden Apokalypse ja so gefährlich.

Die Peter Thiel Story Peter Thiel ist der Strippenzieher hinter dem kulturellen Rechtsruck in den USA und einer der wichtigsten Unterstützer von Donald Trump. Mit Paypal und Facebook ist er reich geworden. Das ist die Gesc...

Ein paar Gedanken zur Diskussion des Podcasts hier auf @bsky.app als Thread.

Der neue österreichische Klimasachstandsbericht #AAR2 - schon beeindruckend, dass ein kleines Land mit einer kleinen Forscher:innen-Community so ein umfassendes und rigoroses Werk auf die Beine stellt. Freue mich, Teil davon zu sein. @ccca.ac.at @wegenercenter.bsky.social

Had an inspiring talk from Dave Stainforth from @granthamlse.bsky.social today at @wegenercenter.bsky.social. What can you learn from models? How to design ensembles? And how to spend our money?

We had a really interesting talk by Mathias Rotach from @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social here at @wegenercenter.bsky.social. He showed us the complexity in modeling the mountain boundary layer, and that it is still a long way to robustly represent climate change in local mountain valleys.

Weil sie wissenschaftlich teilweise nicht haltbar ist und in vielen Aspekten sehr schwammig, viele der aufgezeigten Ereignisse gab es bereits ohne Klimawandel, die Aufteilung über Warming Levels ist willkürlich. Kurz: die Grafik schafft sehr viel Unklarheit.

Evtl. hat die deutsche IPCC Koordinierungsstelle die übersetzt (z.B in der SPM). Für Ö ist eine in Planung, wird aber erstmal mit Forschung unterfüttert. Am besten Birgit Bednar Friedl vom @wegenercenter.bsky.social fragen, die leitet die Aktivitäten in Ö und war CLA des Europakapitels in AR6 WG2.

When walking through the forest searching for Salamanders I thought for some seconds that nature doesn't really care about what we and politicians and Trump are doing. But while this is correct, the idea of nature as an untouched idyll is dangerously wrong and misleading kitsch.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorites. Effective immediately, the following are terminated: NSF Award Id NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant to NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) term and condition entitled 'Termination and Enforcement,' on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities. This is the final agency decision and not subject to appeal.

Just got mine.

Totally expected, but it still sucks.

Probably the most for all the work that so many of us put in on behalf of US taxpayers that is now wasted and will never come to fruition.

Leider so stark gekürzt, dass man nur - und nur teilweise - erahnen kann, was unter robuster Information verstanden wird.

Jenseits der im Artikel geäußerten Kritik an Klöckner sollte die Frage legitim sein, ob ein Tempolimit nicht einen kleinen aber relevanten Beitrag zur Bewahrung der Schöpfung leisten kann, dieses Thema also auch aus Klöckners Sicht eines für die Kirche sein könnte.

Stand Up for NOAA Research – The Time to Act is Now The AMS is a global community committed to advancing weather, water, and climate science and service.

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences.

Europe is fastest warming continent noted in @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social report & greenhouse gas heating +changing wind patterns are driving excess warming, particularly in winter, while less solar shading from declining aerosol particle pollution is adding to summer warmth: doi.org/10.1038/s416...

Trump Administration Will Freeze $2 Billion After Harvard Refuses Demands Federal officials said they would freeze the money after Harvard said it would not submit to requests to overhaul hiring and report international students who break rules.

I have complained about both of my alma maters frequently so I want to share praise where praise is due.

I'm proud of Harvard for finding their backbone. It's a big deal because everyone else looks to them. And godspeed to them in fighting this shakedown bullshit from the Trump administration.
