Top public worries in the U.S. About three in ten Americans say they are “very worried” about global warming.

More Americans are very worried about climate change than are about crime.

Auszeichnung: Umweltpreis für Rostschutz-Unternehmen und Klimaforscherin Wie hauchdünn kann eine Zink-Schicht zum Rostschutz sein? Und was haben trockene Böden mit Hitzewellen zu tun? Der Deutsche Umweltpreis zeichnet in diesem Jahr Forschung und Pionierarbeit dazu aus.

Danke! Der richtige Link ist folgender glaube ich: www.tagesspiegel.de/wissen/ausze...

Thank you for your message, Gregori!

Hot off the press: We can provide for the first time a systematic attribution of recent #heatwaves to the emissions of #carbon_majors. Essential new #Nature article coordinated by @yannquilcaille.bsky.social at @ethz.ch, with numerous contributors @usyseth.bsky.social:

Ihre Forschung verändert Klimamodelle weltweit: Prof. @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social @ethz.ch erhält den Deutschen Umweltpreis #uwp25. Sie macht sichtbar, wie entscheidend Bodenfeuchte für das Klima ist & bringt komplexe Forschung verständlich in den internat. Diskurs.👉https://buff.ly/ABviSyw

Ein grosser Dank ebenfalls an alle meine Kolleg:innen am @usyseth.bsky.social und an der @ethz.ch für ihre wunderbare Unterstützung während all dieser Jahre!

Danke Dir für Deinen grossen Beitrag an unsere Gruppe!

Scientists link hundreds of severe heat waves to fossil fuel producers' pollution A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.

Spoke to @yannquilcaille.bsky.social and @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social about their new study in Nature.

They finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers.

Read on ⬇️ @npr.org to learn about their methodologies + why the work matters.

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

Congrats to @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social and colleagues for this important new paper
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Rising heat waves tied to fossil fuel and cement production According to ETH Zurich climate researchers, greenhouse gas emissions from major fossil fuel and cement producers are significant contributors to the occurrence and intensity of heat waves. These find...

🔥🌍 New research led by Prof. @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social at @ethz.ch, with lead author @yannquilcaille.bsky.social, shows how greenhouse gas emissions from major fossil fuel and cement producers have significantly intensified global heat waves.

Part of me is sad I will never see DOE's attempt to respond to the excellent comments from the scientific and economic community on its awful climate science report

A larger part is relieved this document will be expunged from the administrative record A small but real victory for accuracy and fact

Thanks, Naomi!

Study links more frequent and severe heat waves to pollution from major fossil fuel producers A new study has determined that 55 heat waves over the past quarter-century would not have happened without human-caused climate change.

Article in @apnews.com w. quotes from @jsmankin.bsky.social & @ccallahan45.bsky.social: "[It was] argued that any individual [contribution] was too small or too diffuse [to| be linked to any particular impact. [T]his emerging science [...] is showing that that’s not true”
